When they became celebrities, in other words, famous, they gave everyone that right. They knew what they were getting into (everyone knows that celebrities pretty much give up a private life). They could do what they wanted to do, make a decent living, and not be famous. By becoming famous, they gave up their privacy and they should've known they would be doing that when they got in the business.
And, personally, I don't much care if he is a child molestor or not. I think it's sad if he is but I also think it's sad that everyone cares so much just because it's Michael Jackson. There are child molestation cases every year and each person convicted is equally horrible but we don't read about them in the news.
But to everyone who is saying, "The victims stories have to count for something!" Or anything along those lines (mostly the "bush" twins") let me ask you this: Did you ever stop and think that maybe they're lying for the (1)press/fame and (2) money? Michael Jackson is a millionaire and, as American citizens have already proven, will bring anyone press and fame (whether it be negative or positive).
And about him "bleaching his skin white." Apparently he has some kind of skin disease is what I was told but no one really believes him...and I don't really either.

At first, I believed wholeheartedly that Jackson was guilty. However, I'm not so sure now. Its basically Jackson's word versus the victim's word. None of us were there, so none of us should make assumptions or judgements. When did Jackson apparently molest this boy? Wasn't it a few years ago? Why did the family wait so long to press charges? I think there a lot of questions about the family's motive that need to be answered.
Although I have no respect for Jackson, I feel that he isn't getting a very fair trial because there has been so much publicity about the case. This is sort of like the steroid scandal. Without a confession or postitive drug test, there is no proof that McGwire/Bonds/Sosa used steroids. For all we know, Jackson could be innocent because there is no proof.
I don't know why the kids parents let them go over there, because I'm not one of them. You can't blame it on them, however, because they weren't the ones that were allegedly molesting the boys. This hasn't been blown out of proportion, any one who was thought to be a child molestor would be going through a trial. This time it just happens to be Michael Jackson, who lives in the public eye.

i'm not saying it didn't happen. it might have. but we don't kno. if he was such a freak w/such freaky habits, then why did parents allow their children @ his house? you can believe the kids are telling the truth, but personally, i think everything has been blown out of proportion.
*thanks, but 'ppl' is an abbreviation. i can spell 'people' just fine.

Who are you to say the victims aren't speaking the truth? For someone who keeps on saying we don't know the whole story, you seem to be under the impression that you do. For all you know, the boys were molested (which I think they were). But you can't say it didn't happen unless you were there. I'm not saying it is a fact that they were molested, but I believe that they are telling the truth. And obviously there is evidence, seeing as the man is in court...and to make yourself look more intelligent...spell people right...

yeah, he did have a history of odd behavior, but ppl, the kids parents obviously trusted him to some extent to allow thier children to go to his house. i've been saying and saying this, but there is very little concrete evidence in this case, other than testimony from the so-called victims. I really don't think anything happened, but its not my call.

That is complete BS, my friend. Legal adult or not, Michael Jackson shouldn't be putting himself in those situations when people find him strange enough as it is. A sane man does not bleach himself white and name his home Neverland...
lol...I heard that. And what is up the the African Americans saying that they are all "true to their heritage" when Michael Jackson wants to be white?

haven't you watched the news? the witness's story didn't stick. and i babysit my cousins all the time. yes, we are alone in the house. am i automatically a child molester? no. he is a legal adult, and if he wants to have kids hang out @ his house, why not. free country, right? at the moment, he has no been proven guilty. we are not in charge of his case. we don't kno the entire story.

Thats not in the tabliods, thats in the actual 5:00 news...
there is very little evidence, as far as i kno. yeah, the guy doesn't exactly have all his marbles, but take a good look @ his life! he had a horrible childhood, and tried to recreate it. yeah, most of friends were kids, but that doesn't mean he molested them @ every possible moment.[/QUOTE]
very little evidence?! So I guess youre saying that boys' he actaully molested stories dont count? Yes, he didnt have a peachy childhood, but that doesnt give him the right to molest kids or even have them at his house (by himself)...thats weird/sickening...

as far as i know, there is no actual concrete evidence. you can't send someone to jail b/c ppl think he's guilty. i'm so sick of people sticking their noses into celebrities lives. so what if they act/sing well? that doesn't give us the right to read about their lives in the tabloids.

Only if he is guilty. I don't know how any of us can make assumptions if we weren't there.
