NJHAWK Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Yeah some kid announced that in the bathroom when I was waiting in line to take a dump at the Borders next to msg before the event staff would let us in msg.

Plainview1981 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 This is true. Without MJ, there's no Usher, Neo, RKelly, or Chris Brown and probably a whole lot more. Now that wouldn't such thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainview1981 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 I think that there are some truth, but there are also a lot of lies. I think Parents would leave their children in his care just so they can sue him. The problem is I think Jackson had many personal demons, but some people just tried to take advantage of him because he was filthy rich. Again, as a parent, I can not name any parent who would leave their child in the care of a man that they do not know. Especially one linked to Child molestation. Blame the Parents. Sorry I don't agree. Now people want to blame somebody that isn't directly responsible for the actions. A person should be decent enough to not want to mess with children. Again, I'm not saying that the parents aren't to blame at all. However, it's jacko who very possibly committed the act it's self. Personally, I'm tired of hearing that the criminal (or possible) might just be misunderstood. People now want to make celebs blameless it seems like. It's ok that Stallworth only got 30 days in jail. Vick should have never went to jail for killing dogs. It's not Michael's fault if he abused children. It's the parents fault! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye242424 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I compare him to Rodman, since this is a basketball forum. On the court (stage), awesome performer, off it... Shady and scary as hell!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddielives Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 R.I.P. Michael. I think in time, he will be remembered more for his great music than his fall from grace. For those seeming to revel in his death, chill out. It's not like he was a murderer like OJ Simpson. I just believe Michael was severely screwed up in the head, due in part to his upbringing by his a-hole dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my child is not going to sleep over anybodies house who I haven't thoroughly checked out or know. And Jackson didn't pass the sniff test.

But nobody should be sick enough to touch little kids. No blame should be taken away from MJ if he did this. Parents stupidity doesn't excuse sick perverted behavior by somebody else. Simple as that.

No blame should be taken away from MJ if he did this. Parents stupidity doesn't excuse sick perverted behavior by somebody else. Simple as that. Both are to blame but I know, as a father, I'd rather be guilty of letting my child sleep over at a celebs house than be guilty of molesting a/my child. Someone with children SHOULD understand that. Also, that wasn't the only time he's been accused of this sort of thing. If I remember correctly he was kicked out of a couple of countries for the same accusations. He then came back to America only to put himself right back into the heat. I can't believe the sympathy this man is getting across the Nation simply because of his color/status. Shameful.

Eddielives Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 It's pathetic celeb worship. Actually, I think for most people in the 30-50 range, it's an issue of love for his gift of musical talent vs. his very debatable condemnation by parents looking to willingly settle for a cash amount. Like D said, who in their right mind would leave their child with a man who was known for possible child molestation? I say only a parent that is completely naive or one who is searching for an easy lawsuit on a gazillionaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlanta Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I have a lot of respect for Michael Jackson. Just watching some of his videos and listening to his music reminded me of how much I really liked Michael when I was young (around 4 years old, don't say any of those jokes lol). I remember dancing to the song Billie Jean. What are your fave tracks by Michael Jackson? Mine are: Beat It Billie Jean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlanta Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Did you guys hear this new song by the Game yet? Featuring a lot of other artists including Chris Brown. Edited June 28, 2009 by Libid21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say only a parent that is completely naive or one who is searching for an easy lawsuit on a gazillionaire. Being in that age range I agree. I was a big fan myself, and a fan of music in general. However, your point about blaming the parents is rather irrelevant considering out of all the parents who were "looking for an easy lawsuit" only one actually sued. It was Michael Jackson and kids loved him and his amusement park. I know it is hard for me to say no to my little one when she wants a toy from the store. Forget my little one's dream of meeting her favorite celeb and hanging out with HER at her personal Disney Land. I wouldn't do it of course, but I can see how a parent could give in to that request. The innocent man payed off his accusors instead of going to prison. That's all I need to know about his guilt. I respect him for his genious in his profession, but as a parent I can't say I'm sad to see the King gone. Edited June 29, 2009 by Dsinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his music is fine but he isn't one of my favorite musicians or entertainers. I also think he was a megalomaniacal oddball. That being said, the fact that he paid that guy off doesn't really make me think he was guilty, just exhausted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
