I actually did the same and noticed that no one else is reporting it at this time, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Regardless, I still stand by what I said earlier. |

Especially after that second lawsuit was thrown out because of complete and total inconsistencies in the testimony of the "victim." The fact that he settled out of court the first time doesn't automatically make him guilty. At the time, 20ish Million probably wasn't a lot to Jackson himself, and it saved him potentially years of accusatory court dates. He didn't care much for court, considering one time he couldn't be arsed to change out of his pajamas before showing up.
I think things happened due to a combination of having a non-standard childhood, and eventually pain medication and health problems, that caused him to not adapt and develop some "normal" social boundaries and points of view. While he certainly acted strange at times, I never saw anything to make me believe he actually molested a kid.
Think about it... child molesters know they're doing something wrong, so they do pretty much everything they can to hide it. Michael Jackson has practically never lived a day of his life outside the flash of camera wherever he's gone. To think that someone who would instantly be the focus of the media would build a huge attraction like Neverland Ranch to draw kids in so he could do awful things to them always seemed just a bit stupid to me. Unfortunately his money drew a huge target on his back.
Between his career and the ensuing media frenzy, he never had the opportunity to really enjoy his childhood or have any "real" friends. As years progressed and he got his money, and got furhter into his taste for painkillers, he saw his chance to enjoy the wonders of childhood that he was never able to, and he never really evolved from that. Probably didn't have enough time to before that target on his back was zero'd in on and the accusations flew.
He had both a great and yet very unfortunate life. It's always p!ssed me off to see a person who just wanted to have a little time to enjoy the simplicity of childhood be made a villan for it because people wanted money.
If this guy is really sorry, then he should return every last cent of that 22 million that he has to Jackson's kids. |
This is really insightful. We'll never really know what happened, regardless of (or maybe due to) relentless media coverage. And I believe you're right about him never having had the chance to develop normal social boundaries. What that led him to do or not do, none of us will know for sure. |

| I read that too. Where the mother had said they weren't his. I saw another pic early this morning of Michael holding an umbrella walking with the older boy and the little girl. The boy was looking up at Michael talking to him and he was holding his hands just like his father does. That could be something mimicked though, but his hands look like Michael's. | nsanelilmunky wrote: | | Quote: | | Prince Michael Jackson II, Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson and Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. |

 You don't know how badly I want to "HeeHee" to that, but I won't seeing how it might be in rather bad taste.
Maybe he was impressed when George Forman named five of his sons George and didn't want to risk not having but the one boy to carry on the Michael Jackson name.
George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, and George VI
* They're his as far as I'm concerned. |

| Thanks for posting thoses pics nsane. I'd love to zoom into the furture right now and see how things turn out for them say 10 - 15 years. If they'll go into music. Looking into the face of the oldset son in this pic and the one I mentioned, he just seems like such a deep thinker. Maybe he just shows it more on the outside.
I hope they have a good life and nobody's mean to them. I hope they have a better life than their father did. |

| Jackson Memorial Tickets to Be Awarded Sunday
I don't have the link, but a yahoo news article I recently read mentioned a possible estimated, quarter of a million people making the journey to the memorial.
I can't imagine what that will be like. |

| I haven't turned the Tv on today, but I imagine it's Michael's Day world round.
Somebody’s watching me
I do wanna see what the crowd looks like. I imagine it as I would something akin to the pilgrimage to Mecca. |

| Any of you watch the memorial today?
Most news online are saying that people stayed away and watched it ether on Tv or online.
Celebrities speak, sing in tribute to Michael Jackson
That's a beautiful casket. |
