Money really is the root of all evils! How far would you go?  |
|
 There has been so many instances where someone has killed someone or taken custody of someone for nothing more than money. Why? Is there really that much importance in money that you would sacrifice your happiness, morals or child's happiness for it? I am not a saint by any means. However, I am a mother, an aunt, a sister, a godmother, and a friend of many children. I love children. THey are our future. I have recently read that the woman who had Michael Jacksons two older children now seeks custody. What about them? their needs and wants? Most importantly what about the other, third child that isnt hers? Why would you want to separate them? Its a known fact that after the not guilty finding in the child molestation case she hasnt seen them since. Its clear that she has no real interest in being a mother. Why is she doing this? MONEY! I see it alot. Look at people who kill people they dont even know for money. Is it that important? Right now I am unemployed. I havent had any money of my own in a month. My fiance, thank god, is paying all my bills and his. When he's finished he is broke. I havent been able to save money because I used it when we had the fire last year and lost everything.It is tough and yes, I cry alot. I never once thought of hurting someone or selling a child because I needed money. How about you? How far would you go?

11.  suspenseful (17137) | 6 months ago |  Actually it is not money being the root of all evil, it is the love of money. We do not know why Michael Jackson's former wife (he was not a saint, by the way) did not see the children. There are things that we do not know. Perhaps she was not allowed to, and that she was told to say that she had willingly given up their custody to Michael Jackson. You see Michael was a famous person and courts would bend over to him, and lawyers are not above blackmail. As for the needs of the children needs, it is not up to us to decide. It is up to the judge. If he or she finds that the former Mrs. Jackson was asked to keep in touch and Michael said,"please visit the children, don't pretend they are not yours,etc" the judge will know and unless she shows that she regretted her decision and was too proud to take it back, the custody might go to one of Michael's sisters.
I would not go so far as to hurt someone for money or for anything. It is not right.

 dloveli (1010) | 6 months ago | Just a little background information. Debbie Rowe was MJ's nurse at the dermatologist. He thought she was the perfect person to surrogate a child. In order to skip all the innuendo and red tape as far as custody and paternity, he married her. From the very beginning she has said herself that she had not intentions on seeking custody. She believed that Michael was doing a great job. You and I both know that he didnt marry for love. She has said it herself. She did a service and was handsomely paid. When MJ was accused for the second time and it went to court she stepped in because she wanted to ensure that the children wouldnt go to social services and some say MJ didnt want them to go to his family. We'll never know because he was found not guilty and Ms Rowe again stepped out of the picture. She said MJ was quite capable. According to the staff and children they havent seen her in a while. The will was made public the other day and it is said to state that MJ wanted his mother Katherine to care for the children. If she couldnt, it was to be Diana Ross. MJ did make provisions and it seems that Ms. Rowe, the biological mother wasnt an option. In my opinion it is because she was just a perfect candidat for what MJ was looking at genetically for a child. I have said from the very beginning that this will not end amicably. We'll see. dl | |

| 12. strawberrychocodahi (2470) | 6 months ago |  1 Timothy 6:10 says For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. You can hear around the world how people kill each other for money. How they treasure money and all.
God himself compared money to be favored by men instead of Him as in Matthew 6:24 " No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. As money makes the world go round, meaning money can turn a right one into wrong, an innocent person into a criminal if someone bribes the law.
Money should be the slave, not the master of men. Use money wisely and do not be greedy since this will be the start of favoring money above all. If man can only be satisfied and content with what he or she have, then they are following what God tells them about choose whom you will serve. Whatever the issues about celebrities, they will have their share if time comes by and they will also meet God. All of us is accountable.

| dloveli (1010) | 6 months ago | I always thought loving money so much was breaking one of the ten commandments. Its like your putting it before even god. Thow shall honor no gods before me. I only hope I am wrong. So when judgement day comes, I hope I am wrong. dl | |

13.  thebeaddoodler (2768) | 6 months ago |  Money is NOT the root of all evil. Don't blame an inanimate object for people's greed. It's the love of money that is the root of evil. I feel very sorry for those 3 children, and I hope they at least get to stay together, although I'm pretty convinced the reason their grandparents want them is because of the money too.
I've found that there are times when money is so short I was wondering if I have any thing worth selling that I could get some fast money from, but honestly, I'd rather trust in the creator to help me find a solution to financial problems than go rob a bank or kill someone for money.{{Shudder}} the thought just makes me ill.

| dloveli (1010) | 6 months ago | It is true, money is inanimate object. Because of the way people yearn for it, it has taken on a life of its own. Society allows this inanimate object to dictate their every move. I cringe at the thought of how bad this whole situation will get. dl | |

| 14. jillhill (11787) | 6 months ago |  Look at Bernie Madoff and just see what money can do....he stole part of so many people's life with his greed. I have always said that greed is a mental illness...I love children too....would never ever think of selling or giving one away...their wishes and needs should be taken into consideration....

| 15. OreoCookie3 (18775) | 6 months ago |  She gave birth to these kids, right? I have been wondering WHY Jackson didn't let her have her OWN children. Why isn't she in his will? What am I missing. Granted I don't know a lot about Jackson.. but don't know why he wouldn't let the mother of the children raise them.

| dloveli (1010) | 6 months ago | Right before this MJ was married to Lisa Presley. The tabloids didnt believe it was genuine. In the end they were divorced after 2 years(I think). Any ways MJ always wanted children. He didnt want to adopt due to the chance of birthparents coming back and such. He met Debbie Rowe at his dermatologist office. SHe was the nurse. He liked the characteristics she would give to a child, so he met with her and told her what he wanted. They got married so he would be legally the father without red tape. It was never a secret that she was some what of a surrogate. After three years and two children they divorced. There was always a question as to how Ms Rowe was impregnated. We really never know. I dont think there's really any doubt of how but anyways. She signed away her parental rights stating that MJ was doing a great job on his own and he seemed quite capable. It wasnt until the second child molestation accusation and trial that she reinstated her parental rights. It was said she was worried about what would happen if he was convicted. When he was acquitted, she left the children with MJ again and hasnt seen them for quite sometime. Why does she want them now? I would think she saw how they raised Michael and doesnt want it for her children. No matter how they were conceived they are still hers! I am sad for the third child because he isnt hers. His mother is an unknown surrogate. I hate to have them split up. Hope this helps. dl | |

| 17. mama_bear (599) | 6 months ago |  the phrase is actually 'the love of money is the root of all evil' money itself is not evil but i have to admit in my estimation it is the new religion. it is all about money, all the major wars that have been and are going on are about money. i cannot abide people who will hurt or use children in order to get money. i do not believe in having a child unless you really want one not for maintenance or child benefit. honestly though, if my little niece was gravely ill or had been taken by someone, she is basically like my own child, well if something happened to her and i had to do something questionable to ensure her safety i would not hesitate for even a second to do it.

| dloveli (1010) | 6 months ago | Thanks for the phrase update. But honestly I wasnt trying to use the phrase entirely. The point really was that money is becoming more important than peoples morality. Yes it is a bit different if you are a celebrity and have the finances. I do agree that having a child, be it yours biologically or a relative,is a gift not a given. It is sad that people look at children as meal tickets. Unfortunately there is not a lot we can do about it. Except keep on being the people we are. Good ones! Thanks Mama bear! Its good to know I am not alone in my thoughts. dl | |

| 18. byfaithonly (6302) | 6 months ago |  It makes me sick to think what some people will do for money but have to say this business about the kids is the worst of all. What you do yourself is one thing but this is just down right using the kids and in the end you know they are going to come out on the bottom of the pile...
I'm sorry to hear about your situation in almost the same spot as you but as you would never sell my kids or hurt others.

| 19. ShellyB (3008) | 6 months ago |  I believe I would go as far as working and trying to get public assistance if I can. I will not kill for money, it is something that I strongly believe no one has the right to do. yet it is something we hear about in the news, someone has died and sometimes for as low as two dollars.
Where I used to live before, there was this homeless man who everyone knew, he would work for spare change at times and one day he was robbed and beaten to death, the grand total:two dollars.
I am not sure how those people sleep at night but I hope they are still in prison.
On Michael Jackson, It is a pity he did not took more care of his body and soul, he would still be here taking care of his kids.
Oit of what happen, I do not think the mother of the children is the most horrible human being in there, I would like to know why Jackson thought his kids did not needed her as a mom, it almost seems as he had bought them off her.

| 20. Nyankeeman (50) | 6 months ago |  Yes with the rough economy specially people will do pretty much anything for money. I would not go as far as selling a child or anything but for instance, if i had a child who needed medication (or food or something necessary) i would do ANYTHING to gain that for my child
