You can roll your freak-loving eyes until they fall out of your weirdo-adoring head for all I care. Read this slowly, please, so that this time you will understand what I originally wrote. Jackson admitted that he took little boys to his bed. THAT, by every standard we have in our society, is perverted. Let me repeat the heart of my point: a 40-year-old man taking 12-year-old boys to his bed to sleep with him is considered perverted in our society, without even going into what happened once in that bed. This is not difficult for any reasonably balanced person to understand.
There is also a huge canyon of difference between being a childlike adult and being what Jackson became. I'm a grandmother that loves to climb trees with my grandsons. We have a fort. I ride bikes with my granddaughter and we eat gummy worms. Yesterday afternoon we were in the kiddie pool out back -- the one with the water sprays and slide.
I don't hang with a chimp that is dressed identical to me and I don't give Jesus Juice to other peoples' children before I dress them in cute little outfits and take them to my bed for a little quiet time. I don't then pay them $20 million dollars because I've done something to the children. TWENTY MILLION reasons to believe that Jackson did something for which he needed to pay. Nor have I paid surgeon after surgeon hundreds of thousands of dollars to mutilate my body because I can't stand to look at myself. I don't grab my crotch in front of the world because I'm a good, clean, wholesome soul. Sheesh, is any of this sinking in to you yet?
There is no "mob mentality" where my comments are concerned. My post was my own ... I've felt that way for a couple of decades, and I believe it to be the truth. Take it or leave it -- I could not possibly care less.
Unfortunately, Michael Jackson went from a beautiful little boy with a gift from God to an extremely troubled man who paid little or no attention to appearances. That was his choice and I am under no obligation to celebrate his life or mourn his death.
If a person can't connect those dots, they've got touches of liberal brain-dead syndrome... and nothing you say will overcome that.
