I want to give an alternative viewpoint here which I tend to do and ends up being controversial to people that disagree.


I get the impression that this guy being made out to be a saint. some even say that he's a hero and god-like


let me say some stuff, and I will probably get slammed for this too.

many pedophiles can come off child-like too...they can use that child-likeness
to connect to children easily.

also Jordan gave a good detailed description of Michael's genitals

also settling the case out of court with 22 million dollars made him look bad
and guilty to a lot of people

he did share a bed with children. that's a big red flag

if it was any other person that wasn't a celebrity and this was made news,
people would be all over the person, branding him a pedophile, demanding he go
to jail.


being a celebrity doesn't mean that they can be above the law.

heck..I have a Pisces Moon square Saturn-Neptune opposition with Virgo Ascendant
and Gemini Midheaven, and I grew up in an abusive household too. I am no way near
child-like as he is. I like cartoons and some comic books...watch some
superhero movies. That's about it. I haven't been to carnivals,fun rides since
I was 14 years old. If I do return to doing that stuff it will be because of my
future children or some romantic thing to do with the woman that I love.


btw...I've been told numerous times that I sound like Michael Jackson when I
talk, and I got flack for it like "you,fag" or "sound like you have a dick
in your mouth" or you sound like a little b-tch" when I was in chatrooms on
yahoo.

I don't think Michael is a pedophile. There was not even one single proof for that. The judges ruled him not guilty after a lenghty investigation.
It was a huge and cruel scam for extorting money from Michael. One of the kids (the cancer sick kid) admitted in court to have been lying about the molestation. The child actor Macaulay Culkin (Home Alone) who frequently was invited in Neverland and had many slept overs, was asked to appear in court to testify on the case and he sworn that he never ever saw Michael molesting any of the kids there, neither he himself was ever a subject of MJ molestation.
He liked to sleep in one bed with a bunch of kids...big deal!

TOTALLY agree Orange.

He was just a Peter Pan. I regularly sleep with all my boys and they are 9, 8 and 3! Nothing wrong with it. MJ was never charged with any molestation offense.

Money money money... !

oh Lara, if you know how much it hurts me to know how MJ's last few years were - mercilessly smeared in public, ridiculed to no end and called nasty names. Especially here in the USA. What a cruel life that was. He must have been totaly crushed. Such a gentle soul, singing about peace and love, he never even raised his voice once or came to his own defence.

I hear you Orange. I feel exactly the same way. The media and the public killed him through the hounding.

Such a gentle soul he was. RIP

Actually he was charged with molestation, and it went to trial and he got acquitted.

just like OJ Simpson was charged with murder,and it went to trial and he got acquitted


the boy's mother hurt the case against Michael Jackson because she was really shady and has a history of taking advantage of financial stuff with history of fraud

the same way

that Mark Fuhrman hurt the case against OJ Simpson because of his racism including his use of n'word repeatedly.


furthermore, money and celebrity does talk and it helps people walk
it definitely goes beyond race

if it was black man that was poor and not a celebrity, he would be seen as one worthless piece of crap thug.

so does biases toward celebrities.


both were ruined financially too.

oh another thing....there is no way that I would let future children of mine be in bed with other men.

I don't care if they are Peter Pan types

many pedophiles have Peter Pan like natures too.

I've always wondered that..but then in the back of mind I've always asked why would those parents allow their children to stay there with him.. I am not saying MJ is a bad man but anyone can see that he was struggling enough to not want to leave your children there with him but I guess that thought of your child staying the night with Celeb would be all the rage..

He was a big kid at heart and whose childhood was unfortunately stolen by fame and lights and he always seem to want to regain that, (peter pan complex) and I believe anyone who was not caught up in the Celeb light could see that..

But thats just my thought, it was unfortunate what happened to the both of them and all the media explotation of the case >_>

well, Raymond, maybe you are all those things that you were called when you were younger, in the navy? How did it feel? Did you manage to defend yourself properly back then? Had all those people around you had any proof to call you this or that?
Didn't that teach you not to judge someone or point your finger until there is a solid proof for it?
Why would you compare MJ to O.J.Simpson? That's ridiculous.

I agree, and I'm not going to slam you. I've avoided most of the news, because it feels weird to me the way the media is suddenly in love with him again, after reveling in his troubles.

I really don't know how to feel... I feel sad for the young Michael (for several reasons). I don't want to believe the abuse accusations, but I also have no proof that it didn't happen.

I don't want to say any more, since this is really a memorial thread.

^^^Yeah let us leave it as a memorial thread and not get into the rough spots of his life, they were there but some people want to remember the music and the King of Pop and I'll respect that.

"well, Raymond, maybe you are all those things that you were called when you were younger, in the navy?"

No I wasn't


"How did it feel?"

I defended myself too. I didn't do anything to really add to their argument.

"Did you manage to defend yourself properly back then?"

Yeah...I did passionately....just like I did when people called me "retard" when I was in special ed and called "stupid" later on.

" Did all those people around you had any proof to call you this or that?"

nope...not at all. I never showed any attraction to males, didn't come on to any. I always showed attraction to females.

they just me by voice because of my speech problems and the way I walk connected to my Dyspraxia aka Developmental Coordination Disorder. That's one of the reasons that I try to raise awareness of neurodivergence.

"Didn't that teach you not to judge someone or point your finger until there is a solid proof for it?"

well..I am not judging nor pointing fingers.

I was merely giving alternative viewpoint just like other people. There is nothing wrong wtih that. The last time I checked, there are no rules to give alternative viewpoints regardless how controversial that they seem. Everybody is not going to like what a person says or do. Everybody is not going to agree on things.

also many do think that settling out of court with 22 million dollars to a boy that accused him of molestation can be a proof of guilt. Some would even think the same about detailed description of his genitals.

"Why would you compare MJ to O.J.Simpson?"

well...they are both celebrities..they both had nice guy images...
they were charged with crimes,and they got acquitted and they were both ruined financially. both have fans as well as people that doubt their innocence

of course..there is a lot of disagreement about if they are guilty or not

"That's so ridiculous"

How is it ridiculous?

I have my views just like I have yours.

maybe I should start calling your views ridiculous then...right?

Apparently the boy gave an accurate description of MJ's genitals because he has a certain condition, and the boy's father has the same condition. The description the boy gave was "accurate" but not exact.

my point is

I think people put Michael on a pedestal

that seems to happen a lot with celebrities

it does seem to be connected to Neptune

it's very interesting that the North Neptune Node is in the sign of Leo with the South Neptune Node in Aquarius.

he was only a human being like every one of us

the same way with Princess Diana

heck...the same with Jesus and Guatama Siddartha


they all ate, drank, put on clothes,bathed, and pooped like we did. they all have their flaws.

just like we all have our flaws

it just seems if a person's viewpoints are disagreed, then they are stupid,false,and ridiculous.

that's like with religious and political views

ok i'm not getting into this argument any more Raymond because this is just a place to express grief about MJ.

I will say one thing which is that i know someone well who spent a lot of time in the MJ household whilst he was growing up and there were never reports or sightings of any abuse toward minors.

I think it poor to judge when one has no idea whatsoever so lets leave it at that, shall we?

I do think MJ suffered from occasional hubris, but I also think there's a lot we don't know.
I'm going by talent alone here, in mourning him as an artist... certainly he was no saint, but just a very brilliant, talented presence.
All the personal stuff I'm leaving out because I feel it's inappropriate to debate since he's just died.
I don't think it's worth debating his personal problems.

I think most people had very contrasting views of Michael. On the one hand, he was super talented and contributed ALOT to pop culture; on the other hand, he was obviously very troubled. As far as I'm concerned, he was cleared of the molestation charges and its not fair to be kicking dirt on a dead person who can't defend themself.

Raymond, I am not saying your viewpoint is ridiculous. It's the comparison that you drew between OJSimpson and M.Jackson that i find ridiculous. It is as if I compared you to Octavia Butler only because you have the same skin color, brought up in a mixed-race enviroment without a father and have similar voices. yeah, you can call that view ridiculous.
You can create another thread "MJ is a pedophil, yea or nay?" and share your frustration of MJ being put on a pedestal while all he deserves is more bashing and more nasty names even after his death, as if he didn't get enough crap while he was alive.
Let him get some lovin now, wouldn't you..

in regards to OJ

Why would it be ridiculous to compare MJ to OJ?

because OJ is guilty of murder?


let me give you an alternative viewpoint


OJ Simpson is a black man who became successful as a football player, sports analyst,and did a few movies. Like many successful black man, married a white woman.

He ends up getting accused of killing the a white woman and a white man.

most of the jurors happen to be black...most of them women. It was thought that the women would sympathize with Nicole because she's a woman. the black women didn't sympathize with Nicole because they feel like she stole one of their black men. In USA, many black women are bothered by white women being with black men just like many white men are bothered by black men being with white women.

then there was the issue with Mark Fuhrman,and it showed that he had used the n'word and it was on tape.

this might have got the black jurors think that evidence was planted by this cop that they believed to be be racist.

so they came up with the verdict, not guilty. OJ's family,friends,and fans cheered in response to the verdict.
Of course, the families of Ron

also there were a lot more blacks than whites that thought OJ was guilty. There was a racial divide in regards to one's views of OJ Simpson.

then later on, he gets tried again but in a civil court case. The jury happens to be a white jury. They find him responsible for the death of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. He's pretty much financially ruined forever.
Many people disagree with a verdict. Some believe that it was lynch mob, and some others think that justice was finally served in that OJ is paying for his crimes.


remember...this is just an alternative view of OJ Simpson.


I really believed that he was guilty of murder,and I was angry that he got off. I was glad that he paid for it financially.
I was really disturbed by the whole racial divide thing. As a person who is son of black man and white woman, I was very concerned that interracial marriages would be looked down upon. There had been people referring to a black man approaching a white woman "he's going to pull an OJ"

but should I?


people in OJ's defense would go

"Man..you're so selfrighteous. He's innocent. After all, he was found not guilty in the criminal. What if you were in OJ's shoes. Maybe you killed some people and are now judging and pointing fingers"

so who knows....if OJ Simpson was really guilty or not

same can be said with Michael Jackson


therefore, it's not ridiculous to compare OJ Simpson to Michael Jackson unless you think that he's guilty just like some other people think Michael Jackson is


it's matter of perception

perceptions are relative

that's why we have so many diverse religions,spiritual beliefs

of course we will have diverse views

we all will disagree with each other at some point

that's just our individualistic perceptions on life and how it works


so it really all comes down to

to each, his/her own when it comes to what somebody believes and practices

the perception of it being right or wrong is relative from one's point of view.


I suggest we agree to disagree and refrain from calling one's views ridiculous,stupid,and other things because there is disagreement.

Oh boy I guess this thread is getting ready to get twisted into something negative, like always..

Please ppl lets not focus on the negative stuff right now and continue to pay our respects to Micheal and his family. The man is gone and whatever he has done or hasn't done is not in our hands..

OJSimpson case was about a murder. There're no witnesses to murders, if one planned it carefully and it is usually done only once. It was hard to find evidences against OJSimpsons, It was just him and his wife. Ou contrair, M.Jackson was a very public figure. He was constantly surrounded by people, lots of kids, media was in his face, ect. If he was guilty, don't you think there would have been at least one solid evidence against him, something to hold its ground in court? At least one proof, one photo, one witness to say - yes, i saw him - he did this and that. You can't compare a murder, which is done once and carefully, to a pedophile's actions, who is used to do his stuff frequently and regulary.
anyway, Raymond, you just ruined this whole thread. Bravo. I totaly regret getting into argument with you, because this thread was meant for Michael, not for you. You always make everything about you. It's so pointless.

I met OJ after he was acquitted and i can honestly say that he scared the sh1t out of me. Now i'm not easily scared but i'm pretty sensitive and after shaking his ENORMOUS hand i almost went to the loo and vomited.

That guy is lying... and i say that having thought he was innocent right up until the very moment i met him. His energy was very irratic and l would not wanna be in a room with him on my own. My mother had a similar reaction and my step-father said after we had left that OJ was so guilty it was a joke.

Anyway, i'm diversing now... just wanted to share that cos it was heavy.
