I've put off going into the archives to save the old threads, but after a scare with Voy probs this morning, I decided to attempt the project again.

I ran across the following in regard to Michael Jackson and am wondering if everyone still feels the same after listening to Rita and Geraldo sobbing over the wacko?

Subject: Is it just me or is anyone else as offended.....

I have now seen the Micheal Jackson special twice. And I am offended and just amazed that this "man" is allowed to have any children come near him, let alone parent children. It was so dusgusting to see the so called "star" with kids. He treated his children like toys and even said that their mothers had given him the children as gifts. I was just shocked to see the way he acted and the way he was caught in so many lies. Children are indeed gifts from the Gods but not to be used as toys and given as presentsto people who are so unfit to be parents. I kow I am ranting, but I truely fear for the childrens safty. ok I am finished.

and so it flows......

I too have been repulsed, disgusted and offended by this human tragedy played out on the small screen. I am even more offended by the valueless cretins who dare support this serial child abuser and perverted piece of human detritus. Children are not "presents" to be exchanged or "given" to someone. They are gifts, but not subject to exchange policies or personal whims.
Though some of my more devout Christian and other religious friends may be horrified by this statement, the odessy of Michael Jackson and many others who see children as playthings raises major doubt in my mind about the omniscience and supposed inability of a "God" to make a mistake. How can anyone listen to and observe this horror story and still believe in an infallible diety of any kind?

What even worse is that he is getting something like 2.5 million to do it. I don't even think he is thinking period. Sex offenders just fill there own need in the here and now. His numerous lied about plastic surgeries were only the beginning of his madness. What is just as bad is those parents who allowed themselves to be paid off. I'll tell you one thing no amount of money could shut me up. He gets away with it because of who he is, what does that say about society? Pretty great huh?

I watched the Wacko Jacko Show with great interest because I enjoy a good horror flick from time to time. With regards to the children he has captured. I can only pray as it seems in the interveiw, they are not with him the majority of the time and are cared for by someone far more responsible and in touch with reality the he is.

It is obvious to me that this mans childhood has effected him in ways mentally that volumes of books could be written on his disorders. And the show he put on for the public when on his shopping spree was a discrace to his fans. He spent 6 million dollars in less then an hour on junk, and a show it was, we will never know how much of that junk he actually had delivered and or payed for, whats the store manager going to do? Snitch him out? I think not.
His life is a show because thats all he's ever known, he was not allowed to be a child and when he attempted to was beaten ummercifully for it, so he's living his childhood now and surounding himself with playmates his own age (his own mental age), perhpas his facsination with young children is not sexual, i pray not, but can you imagine the harm that could be caused by a 10 or 12 year old who has control of the money and the power that goes along with it that Michael Jackson has? For that reason alone he should not be aloud to have children in his company, you see how wacked out he is, imagine how wacked out and out of touch with reality his children will become. And like any 10 year old, Im sure Wacko is prone to temper tantrums, only his tantrum could kill those he surounds himself with and that is a tradgedy that can be forseen and avoided but because he is insanely rich, nothing will be done until after the fact. After his tantrum, what if he gets tired of his charges, and just abandons them to there own after they are old enough to say no to his foolishness, what then, they too will have no idea of the real world or how to act or survivie.

All this said i find it no more tradgic then any other abusive family that we hear about from time to time, Jacksons is more publisized because he is rich but there are thousands of other children out there we will never hear anything about, they will live in a silent hell because people dont see or chose not to see, that is the true tradgedy!

hmmmm...and now everyone's in a huff about no blacks on the jury? Do any blacks live where these crimes are alleged to have been committed?
