Lewis Carroll was unusually attracted to young girls. He took photos of them in the nude. Charlie Chaplin as well. Do you think anyone who likes them is ‘reprehensible’?

"He pretty much created pop culture and music videos."

And that sure made the world a better place didn't it? Not.

Do you know any good documentaries featuring the testimony of the victims? The stuff I’ve found is not even remotely convincing.

Maybe you can direct me to scripture.....

Where GOD says he hates freaks!

Seems to me GOD loved Moses who was a Murderer

and Solomon also a Murderer and an Adulterer

In fact GOD chose some pretty DISPICABLE Men to do some pretty wonderful things...

“I believed him.”

Well, if people would take off the ga-ga, star-f***er glasses for a moment and look at the details they could’t possibly come to the conclusion that this grown man wasn’t harming children.

It’s plain as day.

If true, yes.

FWIW http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/120582/?page=5&;

No one can know for sure, but I believe that it is highly possible that Michael Jackson was a victim of extortion.

I hope he was innocent of those who accused him. It became such a media story (and we know how truthful the media is) that some folks that normally don’t believe in the honesty of the media could easily fall into their sensational trap, so to speak.

Those two cases are pretty well known. Carroll got kocked out of Alice Lidell’s home by her parents when they found out was going on. His two ‘Alice’ books are schoolroom classics. Chaplin got run out of the country for. among other things, being involved with underage girls.

“When the guard approached my car, he heard what was being discussed, and asked me what I thought about it: was Michael guilty? Since this man was tall, black, and armed, I did not want to offend, so I said I didn’t know. He then leaned in close to me and said in a soft voice, “He IS guilty. It’s all true. I used to work for him at Neverland. It was really bad, really bad.” It was chilling to hear him say it, and in the sad, soft tone of voice he used. I believed him.”

Yep. Thanks for relaying that. There are other accounts by staffers to that collaborate it. What is unbelievable is the knee jerk reaction to slobber the the feet of baby-dangle man’s moon-boots by so-called “conservatives”.

Conservativism is dead if this is the trend.

“Troubled soul” Perfect description, IMO. I’ll let God sort it out.

Because it’s not. The parents wanted money and they got it.

People themselves liking them, no. But Carrol, Chaplain, and MJ ARE reprehensiable. And those defending these types aren’t the normal people or behavior we normally see here at FR.

Not really....I watched the trial. Besides the victims testimony, other evidence convinced me that MJ was guilty. And, like I said, the jury disagreed. I’m just voicing my opinion, that’s all.

Nope. OTOH, if they were diddling little boys...

Can’t argue with any of those. And for jazz (aside from the already mentioned Ellington, Parker, and Tatum) — Satchmo, Ella, Mingus, Monk, Bean, Wes, Benny G, Louis B.....

Anyway, mentioning all these greats on a Michael Jackson thread seems more than a bit out of place.

That’s all we can do. God doesn’t need help.

Shep is sooooooo dumb! Just said he was the first black entertainer to be embraced at such a young age.

Are you sure he didn't say, "embraced those of such a young age"?

I agree. I have been a Freeper for almost 9 years, and a lurker 2 or 3 more before that. FR was a lot more conservative back then.

"Moses and Soloman didn't bugger little boys. As to the question of "murder" killing in self defense is not that.
