I DON'T BELIEVE on what people accused MR\ JACKSON OF when he was still living.

Though it is kinda late already cause Michael died last Thursday... but I would just like to share my opinion why I don't believe that he molested young kids. Here are some of my reasons why: 1) He was, is and will always be a BIG CELEBRITY and He knew that all eyes are on him... He would definitely think not just once, twice, thrice but might even be hundred of times before committing such a scandal like that. I guess there are just some people who took advantage on his sincere liking on kids as a possible way to exploit him, black mail him and get his MONEY. 2) On some footage we could see him holding hands with a child... if a person is really a committing a sin against children he would be hiding it from the media and be shameful to show such action... but because he has nothing to hide from us... he openly shows the people watching him that he like kids a lot. Those who hides are those people who definitely guilty of something. and NOT MR. JACKSON. 3) And I believe that Americans have a GOOD BIG HEART for kids especially those who are homeless and don't have a family to take care of them... and Sir Jackson is just ONE of those MANY AMERICANS who shows sympathy to kids like them with NO hidden intentions of whatsoever just plain LOVE for KIDS. I am so sad learning from the news that he was dead at a not so old age... in a moment where he can still sing for millions of people, inspire and touch the hearts of any individual whatever race he/she belongs to, and help HUGE number of kids who wants a father, a brother and a friend whom ALL can be seen in a man named Michael Jackson. I do appreciate your time reading my new discussion and hoping you'll respect my opinion. It's just my own opinion which I feel like sharing but doesn't intend to influence someone to believe into. May God bless us all.

I'm with you Bearballew. Michael was unique. He was very different to the rest of us. He was incredibly talented and a genius and I believe he was a good person and none of us has the right to judge him badly...who among us is so good or perfect that we can heap carp on the man.

I certainly respect your opinion, Jhordie, and I think poor Mr Jackson was exploited and used by unscrupulous people whose prime motive was money. The allegations against him were never proven - and once the accusers had been paid off, they seemed to disappear pretty quickly. Mr Jackson seemed to have been a tortured soul who lived a very sad life - and they should now leave him in peace.

I do appreciate you UNDERSTANDING ME... and I am NOT RELATED to Mr. Jackson or anything like that BUT I just LOVE the man and ADMIRE HIM SO MUCH because of the sincere affection and GREAT HEART for those lil children he took home and cared for. It is sad taht he brought home someone who seems to have an ulterior motive. tsk tsk. too bad for THE REAL AMERICAN IDOL!!! And as the saying goes... A MAN IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY and he was not proven guilty therefore he is still INNOCENT until TODAY.

Agreed Guy! If ANY abuse had happened to my children.. no matter WHO it was that did it.. I would seek JUSTICE not MONEY. No amount of $$$ could silence me. What does that say to my child? "I know you were violated, but here's a thousand dollars. I know the man or woman who did this to you is free, but here's another thousand dollars. I know that we should have put her/him behind bars, but look my Precious, yet ANOTHER thousand dollars!" Does this say, "you are PriceLESS" or "This is the amount you are worth to me." ??? What kind of parents don't fight for their kids? Abusers. I also agree that media should LEAVE Mr. MJ alone. There's nothing they can do to him now anyway. Save their breath. There is a vast amount of good that overshadows his accusations and downfalls. Again, what message are we sending?? "You did really REALLY great, but that one time you didn't, well, THAT's what we will focus on." Do any of us want to be memorialized with the ONE big thing we did wrong? I sure don't.

Thousands? Bear, try MILLIONS!!! and what hurts me out of all of this is that child wasnt the one pursuing it; It was the father; That just hurt. All these years and even now cause some folks just go by what they read, you got folks calling Mike a pedophile, when all along, it wasnt true. The first boys daddy, Evan Chandler, no use to hiding him now, he wanted to do a movie; He was a dentist who lived above his means and he asked MJ for money for this, and he said no. then he got the idea to make the boy said he was molested; so yep, if he did it, I aint thinking money either, I'm thinking on justice. which goes to show you how you have to look at stuff between the lines.

Michael Jackson is a victim of his own popularity. The press had been hard on him and the people around him did not really took good care of him while he was alive. He was used, abused and exploited by the very people that he trusted. I guess he was really an emotional wreck and those around him exploited that for their own gains. What a shame!
1 Jul 09
Yes, it seems a shame that the people round him, couldn't be more honest, face to face. Been famous, puts a huge mental strain on anyone. It is difficult to see that MJ could ever be malevolent in his treatment of children. But it seems that there was a certain emotional immaturity there, that his minders didn't protect him from. A big shame.

I would have to agree to the both of you... being a celebrity has its pros and cons and sad to say that Sir MJ has more cons than the other one... too bad for him that his popularity takes a toll on him... not by himself but by people around him

I respect your opinion and agree with you wholeheartly. I have never believed that Michael molested those children nor do I believe that he was capable of it. Michael was a man trapped in the body of a child who didn't get to be a kid. He deserved more respect when he was alive and his life was sad. I pray that he is finally getting the peace that he deserves and that he will be free from all of the scrutiny that he had in his lifetime. God bless you for sharing your opinion here and I am sure that you will find many fans who agree with you.

No, I don't either. In an interview he expresses very emotionally that he thinks all families should have this special time with their children. It was special not perverted. Just putting the child to bed. We have all done that I am sure. You lay down and sort of cuddle with the child and read to them or talk to them. I rud my grandsons belly and head as I talk to him. Poor MJ.

Yes... I am guilty of doing that to my lil cousins and now to my niece. And was I blamed for mollesting a child... I wasn;t because it is a typical action of an adult adoring a young and cute child.

I do not believe michael did any of the crimes he was tried for. he had a terrible childhood and those experience affected him through his adult life. all he wanted was to have his childhood back so he lived that while he was adult. and yes it was weird things he did were weird but when you have to act like an adult when your a kid its pretty much expected to act like a kid when your an adult. he did not have the best up-bringing and the abuse has lasting effects on him just like any other child who experienced abuse. he needed therapy to work through his issues but i believe his only intentions with children was to show them love and to make them happy bc no one cared to do that for him when he was a child.

Very true... He needed love and affection before and he just wanted to give that to the children whom he thought needed it as well. Thanks for sharing your opinion with us... I TRULY APPRECIATE IT! God bless

I personally did not think he was a child molester either. I think there were a lot of greed involve, and he was good target. It's sad because the media, and a whole lot of folks thought he did. They treated him so badly. Michael was just misunderstood man that the media crucified.

I totally agree with you... if he molest young kids so how come the judge gave him full custody all of his children? people just try to get his money, that's all... another thing is he missed his child hood cuz all he knows was TV and that's what we call Man in the Mirror. poor him and I really miss him so much... he shouldn't be like this at all... If anything in this world that could save him back, please help.

Yup... the custody of any child wont be given to a pedophile which he had been accused of... and because he is not guilty of their accusations... he was granted of the custody of his own children. KUDOS for that wonderful response

being a celebrity doesn't change anything because gary glitter was a celebrity and he did abuse children. He did also pay off families so that they wouldn't take him to court now this can be argued both ways 1. if he has abused the children, no amount of money should substitute justice 2. If sounds dodgy paying off someone so it wont go to court, surely if you are innocence you would want to go to court to prove it. I'm not sure what happened, but it wouldn't surprise me if it came out that yes he did abuse children, because he didn't seem mentally fine in the spotlight.

i do not believe he molested any children either. i just think he was such a big kid himself that it did not occur to him to worry about any wrong doing because his intentions were out of pure love for children. i blame the parents for allowing their children to sleep over a grown man's house. it is all water under the bridge now though and i just want him to rest in peace and damn the people who insist on condemning people when they do not know the facts nor were they a witness to what really went on.

I tend to agree with what you say here; Sadly, because of these claims, folks believed it and it just went for really nasty publicity. I initially believed he was more into kids more likely because he didn't get to be a kid himself. Plus he knows a kid's heart is more sincere than a grownups, so he gravitated towards them. they didn't care about money and who he was. just so they could have a good time and such. I had my doubts on both those cases but when he paid off the first kid's family, it didn't make him look good. Then these folks come later on talking about they are sorry and all. They ought to get their butts whipped for destroying a life.

Well, i dun really know if they are accusing MJ upon the things that he's supposedly done.. BUt there are things whereby ple has got to be much more cleverer in order to show.. Just like u say, if someone's committing a sin, he will surely hide it from the media.. BUT have it ever came across your mind that, ple only believe what they see?? IT might just be an act after all.. Well, that's just my own opinion after all, and i cant say i really like MJ or hate him.. I like his dances and songs but not him as a person..

This is a really good discussion because music is really important in everyday life because it can help change your moods,if you are sad,then music can help make you happy again,and some songs can even make you want to get up and sing and dance around the room like no one is watching,and when you are angry,some songs can help your anger flow away,and some songs can even make you sad when you listen to them even though not many people want to be sad,and I am sure that different people like different genres of music,and I am sure that everyone has heard of Michael Jackson, and I am sure there are people who liked Michael Jackson,and then I am sure there are a lot of people who did not like Michael Jackson,for one reason or another and I know that everyone is different,because no two people think the same since everyone has different ideas,different opinions,and different preferences,and when it comes to me I am not a fan of Michael Jackson because I have heard some terrible things about him,and I never liked his music,but it is sad that he has passed and I pray for his family,since it is always hard to lose a family member and I wish people would let him rest in piece instead of bringing his name up all the time,have a great day,good luck with your life,and all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting my friend.

Hello Jhordie , I also do not believe what some people accused him of. It only starts with one accusation. If he had been guilty no way would he have gotten custody of his children but some deny that he was a victim because of who he was. When I heard he was rushed to the hospital my oldest nephew was with me and we both kept checking on any update on his condition. When we heard he had passed away I had my nephew call his mother because I knew she would want to know. The whole family was big fans of Michael Jackson. I am hoping MJ has finally found peace.

Okay I see what you are saying. But you cant always give people the benefit of the doubt. I really dont think it matters wether someone is famous or not. If they have the sickness of molesting a child it doesnt matter their social status. I think that He is guilty of what he was charged with, and a trial also saw him as guilty. There was footage of him always doing crazy things. he hung his own child over a railing on an upper level hotel room balcony. he had a screw loose. He did produce some good music back in his day, bt since then he hasnt' turned into anything good. There is a difference between loving children and molesting children and he did both. Being a celebrity had nothing to do with it.

While everyone is free to their own opinions I guess what scares me is some of the reasons given to defend his guilt and sadly some of those given throughout the discussion are the reasons many predators get away with what they do. I can not say if he did it or not I can say I would not leave him alone with my kids and being a celebrity does not make him some saint and you state if he was guilty he was in the public light something like that he would not do it commit a scandal many predators do not see what they are doing as wrong they believe in "loving "a child and it is through little slits like this opportunity is granted people speak of him sleeping with kids no matter what his reasons is INAPPROPIATE it is not the same as a family member trying to put a child to bed what about teaching our kids stranger danger what it is all right as long as they have mental issues and can sing I mean really and we speak of the people paid off again adults if this did happen did not have the sense to see it for what it is does this mean the damage was not done to them kids if there were some I do not know if he did it I do know this is how it works no one wants to think that someone is the one the one who could hurt our kids do bad and for this case maybe ,more so since many had seen him advance from a young boy beyond but the plain fact is we can never assume for any reason any one is above hurting our kids any accusation of this nature should be taken seriously and I am sorry whether it is true or not I am not about to chance it with my kids because they feel bad he got hustled out of some money because had it been me no amount of money could buy me out and I would never offer any amount of money to make something go away that i did not do only someone with something to hide does that but then that is my feelings
