Why is it that no one ever wondered…?
about the ethics in the movies "Hook" and "Dickie Roberts: Former Childhood Star" when both are playing and sleeping with children, but it’s such a big deal when someone does it in real life… isn’t it safe to say that Michael Jackson IS (metaphorically speaking) Dickie Roberts, or Peter Pan? And when i say sleep I mean in the same room, not in the same bed.
I think you missed the part where i said not in the same bed.


yep you are right girl see what people dont know is that michaels bedroom is 2 stories [ he showed it on tv ] and it makes me so mad when people say he did that when he didnt

Because it’s a STORY, you know NOT REAL. How would you feel if a fully grown man wanted to share a bed with your young son or daughter??

You had an interesting point up until the end. Michael Jackson was in the SAME BED as children, and admittedly so. If you define this issue in this way, it shoots your argument right out of the water.

Besides: movies are FICTION. Michael Jackson is real life. Real life people have real life motivations, mental issues, and potential ulterior ethical considerations. In other words, in real life when a creepy man wants to sleep with children, 99% of the time it turns out he is molesting them. That’s real life. That’s a problem. Did Michael Jackson molest anyone? Who knows, but when you look at the statistics for what happens with other people who act like Jackson, minus the enormous riches and creative attorneys, it is no wonder that people were concerned by his actions.

So the truth is that people HAVE likely wondered this. But then they come back to earth and see that our jails are filled with pedophiles, and it concerns them. No wonder people are suspicious of Michael Jackson, right or wrong.

ABUSING children (or anyone, for that matter - as age does not determine the value of a life) is a "big deal". Perceiving more than what’s happening in non-abusive interactions or contact is your own issue. Our perceptions, dislikes and discomforts are uniquely our own.

Sorry, I haven’t seen them, but I’ll check them out. Whether you like Michael or hate him, I do not accept the proposition he is a chester. I’ve said it before, I think he just likes to play snap towel
and grap a*s in the boys shower. Some people grow up slower than others.

Child abuse, Senior Abuse, Abuse of Women, Spousal Abuse is horrific. Be sure your sins will find you out.

If some one is sleeping in bed with his wife it DOES NOT mean he’s having sex with her .
