    no one put micheal in any category, especially cause lots dont even think he did that.......

    youre the one saying he did it....... altough the issue is you actually think there is a price tag on getting raped or your son being molested..

    You are wrong. What is this rep you are talking about? This is an online community open for discussions, right?

    You should understand that kids who grow up in our society often know what is considered right and wrong... and an adult molesting you falls into the wrong category. Despite what you may try to teach them, they will always be traumatized by this whether or not you "spin" it a certain way.

    Unfortunately, there is no amount of money in the world that will make up for this trauma - even the money you will most likely spend on the years of therapy will not change what happened.

    $20 million? There is no price tag for such a crime.

    Is he not called a "pedophile"? From dictionary.com, it means "an adult who is sexually attracted to young children."

    Sexually attracted. How do you know he was or was not sexually attracted? It could just be his personality or something. No one will ever know what's going on in his head.

    So kissing a girl on the cheek when you meet her is not harrassing? How do you know if the guy kissing has a different intention?

    In our society, U.S. But what about other societies? Would it be such a big crime? Then why can't you tell your kid that?


    My point is, I'm surprised the price he paid is not enough to some people. And we must all remember that he was innocent. But there are people sill calling him a "pedophile".

    A little off topic, but he can't even buy his innocence even with $20 million.

    you contradicted yourself, first you state as if it is a fact he was a pedophile, then you say no one will ever know what was going in his mind.......

    and about the kissing on the cheek argument??? what do you mean? because no i dont consider kissing a girl u just met on cheek is harrasing her.

    Dude. Stop spinning it. Take MJ out of the picture. This post was all about you and how you think child molestation is okay, as long as you get paid well. Your kid gets fondled. Your son gets fellatio performed on him. Your daughter cunnilingus. But as long as there is no penetration... no harm no foul, eh? And you even encourage telling the kids how this is cool because you 'tricked some old fool' into giving the family a lot of money. Let's see her grow up and learn how horribly wrong it all is and realize she not only got molested by some old fool but whored out by her dad.
    You're a disgusting ****.

    The same goes for other societies. You'd be surprised. There's a small tribe in New Guinea where young boys give fellatio to the adult males of the tribe so that they can pass into "adulthood." Many of the boys are heterosexual and find the acts disgusting without any premise from society.

    Beyond this point, you ALONE have very little influence how your kid grows up. He/she is highly influenced by friends, other family members, media, etc. Ever wonder why parents want their kids to be a certain way but they rarely listen? What makes you think you can make your kid listen?

    I'm not calling him anything - I don't know if he did it or not. However, if you were to give me the proposal that you offered (i.e., $20 million for some guy molesting my kid), then I provided reasons about why there is no amount of money enough.

    If you are talking about MJ's innocence, then that's a different topic.

    First of all, what's with the name calling? We don't know each other.

    I never said anything about whoring. Man, look up the words.

    All I'm saying is that why $20 million is not enough to pay for a molestation? Is it such a huge crime? Worse than drunk driving? You guys are making way too big of a deal.

    Am I going to Hell for not just outright dismissing it. And think that the answer "yes" may be appropriate depending on your family situation?

    You are right. But friends change and parents stay. Okay, so a kid is made fun of by his friends. Move then. The media talks about him. For how long? Things go on and forgotten. So these outside influences can change for the better.

    Traumatized for life because of molestation is rediculous. I'm not saying you claimed that, I'm just saying whoever believes so.

    But that's the problem - you are assuming that molestation doesn't hurt the child for a lifetime but let's just say it is possible. I'm not even talking guaranteed. Just a possibility.

    If, in fact, you can concede this possibility, then you are putting your child through unnecessary hardship. No matter the amount of money, I don't even want to consider it if my child has to go through any form of trauma or the possibility of being traumatized at any point in life. My job, when I become a parent, is to help my child avoid such traumatizing events and I would say that molestation is one such event.

    That's what bonds are for right? I believe I once heard a $2 million bond for some kind of murder. I don't know if it was intentional or not or whatever happened. But still, you're talking some kind of murder.

    I'm not a lawyer, but I'm sure there are bonds way less than $20 million for some severe crimes.

    And yet $20 million is not enough for a molestation case?

    Also, no one thinks how much the sentencing should be if money cannot be used to pay.

    I don't think anyone is considering sentencing because you mentioned a hypothetical. Normally, you aren't given the choice if your child is molested or not. This is after the fact and then you decide on a sentence or payment. Personally, I'd probably want that b*stard to rot in jail forever.

    whatever man, i just think that whatever the money doing something like that isnt worth it, independent if it does harm the child for life or not......

    how would you feel if you got 20 million but in the end youre kid ends up scared for life?
