Clearly, Michael Jackson has a mental illness. He needs professional and pyschiatric help and his victims should be fully compensated instead of throwing him to prison where he wouldn't last a tenth of a second.

"Ordinary" pedophiles get put in prison,often for many years, even though many of them could justifiably be (and are) diagnosed with psychiatric illness.

Why do you think MJ should be treated any better- is it because he's a rich celebrity?

I hate to ask this...but let's apply the same logic to Rush. Ordinary drug addicts do get jail time. Does that mean Rush should go to jail?

Having said that I think Jackson should go to jail and ALL the parents that let their kids stay overnight with MJ should be in mental institutions.

Now for another related issue. Homosexuals claim to be born that way and that makes it ok. So I assume pedophiles are born that way also...because why on earth would anyone "choose" to be a pedophile. Using their same logic, should we embrace pedophiles as normal people in society who are born with this desire? Or should we shun homosexuals who live a deviant life style?
