Do you believe Micheal Jackson mollested childreen?

Exactly!

The fact of the matter is, this guy has and will affect/influence/inspire more people in this world than everyone on this BBS combined. A lot of this MJ hate is fueled by jealousy. No one here will ever come close to filling his shoes...

Exception: If you can sing and dance then you are excluded from this rule. This goes double if you also wrote and performed Thriller.

 

I don't know and I don't care, you wear purple underwear.

 

Perhaps because he was black, but then he was white.

 

My issue with the Mike coverage is that I don't think his music is nearly as influentual as people claim. I mean besides from few off the wall songs, I wouldn't listen to old mike records.

Who jams thriller?

other than that, i have no problem with the coverage although I'm personally worn out

 

how is that terrible logic? If he did nothing wrong, why would he pay them off?

 

like someone said, it is on over 10 stations. You really don't think over 2 weeks of coverage is overkill?

 

maybe to take it out of the hands of people who think you did something wrong, even when you didnt?

if someone molested your kid, why accept the money? wouldnt you want that guy in jail? im surprised people dont look it this way, but always the other way

 

He was sick of of all the trials and accusations. he just wanted it all to be done with. besides, 20 million is pennies to him.

 

For the same reason many people pay citations rather than fight them. For the same reason people switch from pleading not guilty to accepting a plea bargain. If he didn't settle, the case would have continued for who knows how long, he would have ended up paying numerous attorneys, and risking losing the trial. Civil Court is much easier for the defendant to lose something.

 

agreed...most of it is NOT timeless. it was super cool in 1984. it ain't as cool now.

this is not the Beatles (and i'm not a Beatle fan) where their music is being played on radio stations around the country all the time...every day...not just days surrounding the death of a former member.

i was a HUGE michael jackson fan as a kid...and the music brings back fun memories of being a kid....but the music is stuck there. there aren't a slew of artists crediting michael as their musical influence.

 

The guy admits to sleeping with kids in a "non sexual" way.The guy had a secret children's room behind his closet. Who the **** does that? He is a freak, a pedophile, and a drug addict. People's fascination with him is beyond me.

 

People settle suits to get people to go away all the time, regardless whether they are guilty or not. Often times, settling is cheaper and less damaging that defending yourself in court, even if you are innocent.

The amount of money he had to make that go away was nothing to him. In his mind, it was totally worth it to make it go away. Big companies settle fraudulent or wrongful lawsuits all the time to just make it go away. Usually as a term of the settlement it is expressed in writing that the person settling admits no wrongdoing. Its just part of the way our civil system is set up. I never assume someone admits wrongdoing or liability when settling a suit. I don't know if he's guilty or not, but settling a suit doesn't force my opinion one way or another.

Let's turn it around, too. What parent accepts money from their child's molester and doesn't pursue charges to put them away? Perhaps the fact that they accepted the settlement then refused to work with investigators makes it look like extortion to some people.

 

he's not as influential as people claim? your talking about a legend that has influenced boy bands, dancers, musicians, songwriters, choreographers, and singers in a huge spectrum over a span of over 40yrs....not only has he touched music fans but culture boudaries around the world...add 3/4 of a billion records sold around the world.

 

Dude, we get it. You hate Michael Jackson. Get over it and leave this thread and quit talking about him and his life if it bothers you so much and go watch one of the hundreds of other stations that are not showing something about him or read one of the thousands of other threads not discussing him. Sheesh, is it that hard?

 

People who have fractured psyches and suffer from severe emotional trauma due to exploitation throughout their lives at the hands of adults who deny them their own childhood?

I do not know if Michael Jackson molested children. I have waffled back and forth on what I believe with regards to his case. I do know that his settlement means little to me as celebrities often settle to stay out of court and avoid the headache, the personal details being released, etc.

What I will say is this:

If Michael Jackson molested children, then the world is better off now that he is dead.

If Michael Jackson didn't molest children, then his death is a tragedy and it saddens me that a young life was distorted and destroyed by the adults around him that were supposed to protect, love and nourish him.

 

an an adult alarm

 

i'm specifically talking music, its not timeless, and if you think it is because it inspired nsync, my point is made. yes its pop music, but i won't be jamming mike anytime soon, nor nsync.

 

what is this thread about? "Do you believe Micheal Jackson mollested childreen?" WHen else do you suggest be discussed. There is a thread about his funeral services and there is this one about the molesting. I have not mentioned the molesting in the other one

 

Let the man RIP. He's is innocent and his kindness was took for weakness..
