How far does a person have to go for it to be considered child abuse or molestation? Does he have to physically penetrate the child, or is fondling, touching, showing porn to or giving alcohol to, and sleeping in the same bed with enough? Michael continued to surround himself with small boys - funny, no mention of girls though.
He was mentally screwed up beyond belief. Anybody who says otherwise is blind. Otoh, as a Christian I am not going to say I know for certain he molested those kids. One day I will have to answer to God for what I’ve said in this life. One thing God doesn’t like is the bearing of false witness. Since I personally don’t know of any proof that Michael had sex with those kids, I’m not going to make that assertion. There is the Golden Rule to consider, after all. After I’m dead, I don’t want everybody assuming the worst about me, based on hearsay, rumors and unproven accusations. So I’m not going to treat anybody else that way.
I was watching Cash Cab tonight. One of the question was "In '08, who orchestrated a maneuver called Operation Chaos, meant to disrupt the Democratic presidential campaign." Of course the answer was Rush L.
But, it was the immediate response of the host that caught my attention. He said "Yeah, Oxycontin!".
I immediately thought of the adoration that has been heaped on Michael Jackson, the detestable king of drug abuse and chemical suicide. Many of his "admirers" are the same people who brutally attacked Rush for getting hooked on a powerful, and legal, drug.
This article claims he did not want to pay them off:

I wonder where in the USA anyone’s son, husband, or brother, had little boys over to sleep, all in innocent fun, would be championed as an icon?
Jackson’s behavior, innocent or not, had the appearance of wrongdoing. He was allowed this behavior by every single person around him. Jackson went downhill fast after the last trial. After that trial his days of sleepovers with kids came to a halt.
Secondly, if he wasn't rejecting his race, why did he buy white babies? Why the straight wigs instead of hair that looked more ethnic? Why the tiny nose?
I didn't see that episode but I do remember seeing people screaming and crying over psycho jacko they looked like liberal freaks that I remember being confronted by in Portland years ago. Doesn't surprise me.
Why does Madonna Adopt black babies? Does she regret being white?
To be fair the tiny nose was not even caucasian or human period. Only god knows what was going through his mind.
Well, one has to point to the evidence. Jesus Juice? Something was not right here, and he doesn’t pass the smell test.
Children should have been protected from him. He was up to no good by sleeping with them, and I blame not only Jackson — I also blame the parents of the children for *allowing* such a thing to take place.
I’d have some choice words for them as well.
Look, if you are getting off by calling Jackson a pedophile then I think there’s a problem.
If however, one is seriously concerned about the welfare of children — then I think you are okay with God. If there’s one thing Jesus warned us about, it is harming of innocent children. Simply by him giving them “Jesus Juice”, I think you can draw the appropriate conclusions.
At this point, it doesn’t matter (much) anymore. Jackson’s gone and children are safe from him.
Madonna is doing it for publicity.. Michael claimed they were his own biological children.
That tiny nose, which was also purchased by Janet and LaToya, is about as opposite Michael’s real nose as it could be. Was Michael ashamed of his physical features that were associated with a black man?
chill out. I didn’t say he was right. Personally, I think He was a psycho and the parents who brought their kids to neverland were probably liberal idiots. I am only pointing out in this article that there probably was nothing physical. Still much of what Michael did constitutes sex crimes.
So are you suggesting he did nothing?
His father was reputed to have insulted the size of his nose. Maybe it had more to do with that than a desire to stop being black.
What got me about this whole story is I had forgotten Michael Jackson started out normal. That is why I felt an ounce of sympathy for him (initially I felt nothing).
He had a rather nice face before it was ever touched. It is a shame he felt so insecure about it.
Well I guess it is just one, long weird chapter of Americana closed.
A) It’s not my proposal, it’s Mr. Srout’s.
B) Wouldn’t these prisons/half-way houses provide much needed employment during our current Obama depression?
C) Does living in Alaska make you the owner of all the land there or the single individual who decides it’s uses? And what does the climate have to do with anything?
D) What is your idea for keeping these criminal deviants off the streets and away from our children? At least Mr. Srout proposed something.
E) How do you know how expensive these camps would be? Mr. Srout claims they would be self-sufficient within a reasonable time, do you disagree?
F) Equating sex offender prisons to Australia is a slap in the face to one of our closest allies.
G) You’re saying that the Federal government doesn’t have a right to build prisons on Federal land? Really?!
H) Maybe Alaska would develop them as prisons or turn them over to a for-profit corporation to run them. I imagine that the several states would be happy to pay the Feds or Alaska to be rid of their pedophiles.
IF he had molested Jordy, why did the Chandlers settle for ANY amount of money?
When did this happen?
The media has been so focused on the Iran crisis, they must have missed this!
(/sarc)
Maybe they thought $30M was better than $noM? Maybe they didn’t want to go through a lengthy trial which would cause more emotional scarring for their kid?
