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?

Not far at all especially when it comes killing or ruining someones life, especially a childs. I read that too and I thought the sick .. well you know! She doesnt deserve those kids. They should be left with their gramma and definitely be left together.

I hope the judges are smart enough to see thru her and see the money signs in her eyes. Once again she doesnt deserve the kids in anyway or form. It has been years since she even saw them!

That is really sad with what is happening with you......i can totally empathize with what you are going through.......I Just completed my education and i got selected through a campus placement, i have a offer letter in hand but i cannot join it as they are asking for more days, its been two months now that i am unemployed and it does worry me, as no one is earning in my house at the moment......There have been so many cases of people selling off thier wedding rings, looting people on tsreets, scamming people, and lots more like this.......people have got really frustrated now and dont know what to do

I agree"Money really is the root of all evils"so what next, we all know nothing can be done about it, and if you need to survive you need money for it, so it is all out of frustration and desperation that people do all these things and they do it just for their stomach, i would not like to sympathize with people who go on a killing spree or a scamming spree, so that they could have disposable income to spend on their fancies.........many youngsters get into stealing so that they could buy themselves some crack......that is what makes it evil...... thumbdown

And i believe money is such a thing that its urge will never die, you always want more and more and people can got to any extent to get more out of it...... surrender

That is the last thing anyone should do is use a child to make money. I hope that Micheal Jackson doesn't get those kids. I agree the three of them should stay toghter with his mother. That is what is in his will after all. I have had rough times myself but I would never hurt someone to get money. I belive and know that God will make a way as bad as things my seem sometimes in life

My heart goes out to you. Fires are bad, and can take away everything. I am sorry that happened to you. Do you happen to live in the East Texas area? If so, i know of several resources that are open to you.

I don't believe in killing and hurting people to begin with, much less for money. Heck, we get out and work, for what we want or need. Not take someone elses money or life.

I think anyone who would do such a thing, is self absorbed, selffish, and uncaring.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dloveli (1006)   ranked 121 out of 38,384 in life  6 months ago

Shirley I have never wished for anything as bad as I wish I lived near you. Just to be able to have you as my friend would be awesome. I dont mean to sound corny but I dont have anyone here that even offered to help me find resources. I was really hurt to see that the people I called friends werent worth a thing. I think that the way money changes people into monsters is amazing. I care what people think and that may be wrong but its hard not to. I just want people who dont judge by how much or how little you've got. Its so ridiculous. dl

Being friends will be great. I understand completely.

I would never do something like that either for money. I like to work and earn my money. I would love to win the lottery some day but that will never happen. I will just work and do right for mine.

Hello there.. Sometimes it is true that money is the root of evil because some people are using this things to kill people and make people in danger. In the news nowadays, most common cause of this evil deeds are robbery, kidnapping, hold-up and also murder. This immature things are because of poverty that people also need money and they don't know which kind of job should give them money so they are doing bad thins to people.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dloveli (1006)   ranked 121 out of 38,384 in life  6 months ago

Right now the world seems fixated on Money. Yes having money does make it easier. This is the governments fault as well as society's. They have allowed money to define how important or how much pull a person has.If money was used as it was intended, we would all be better off. Unfortunately its too late to change it now. The economy is terrible. I, myself, am unemployed. I have utilized all my savings and any/all nest eggs I had put away for a rainy day. I am suffering. Just because I dont have a cent. I am running out of everything and anything. I was hoping that my so called friends would step up and help me because I have helped them so many times in the past. This is the first time I could really use some help or a miracle. Just need a job! No one has offered me anything. Not even a ride to see if there are any other alternatives. People can be so selfish and forget where they came from. Money isnt the problem its people with money that are the problem. Unfortunately money is a necessity to enhance your quality of life. THis is something that will never go away. However maybe by us having these discussions it will make a few aware of what can happen when money because the main reason you get up everyday. We can hope cant we. thanks Francheskie! dl

Th root of all evil is not money. The root is the person doing it. Toinks. Without money, good deeds cannot be done like giving food, cothings, etc to the poor or building schools. yeah?


myLot reputation of 95/100. dloveli (1006)   ranked 121 out of 38,384 in life  6 months ago

Very true Andrew. However I think because people have given so much power to this inanimate object, it has a life of its own. What Im trying to say is that people have put so much of themselves into getting the most money that money literally has more power than a human being. Its crazy. Yes money is needed for a lot of good things as well. We all know that in order to get any of the things you mentioned accomplished you have to use promises of money. So for something that is inanimate,Money is sure controlling a lot of issues. Its like people are doing what ever they can buy with money, no matter how good, bad, or expensive. How fair is that? Thanks friend dl

There are indeed people who are obesesed with getting and keeping just money. It can be a sort of fetish but mostly what people who are trying to get a lot of money are about is power and momey brings power. Power is a tremendous turn on for many people.

She's not seeking custody of the children, she's seeking custody of that trust fund. You know all the greedy characteristics of people come out at a time like this.

I would not sell a child for money. Children are not commodities to be bought and sold. They are future adults, who will be taking care of us old fogies eventually.
