~ The "reverse class action" suit against America is bull. He's using his celebrity clout to get away with that--if any of us suggested that sort of thing, we'd be laughed out of the courthouse.
As others have said, you don't see normal people with his type of past trying to sue America. Get over it, Mr. Jackson, and count your blessings. All $million$ of them.
If he were mentally ill, don't you think he would submit to psychological evaluation? Don't you think it would be advised he submit to psychological evaluation? Has that been advised? No. I don't know why, perhaps he is mentally ill. And if he is, then I sincerely hope the criminal justice system realizes this and delivers him the help he needs.
However, a man who has deluded himself is hardly suffering from any form of illness, and from Michael Jackson's own interviews, statements and testimonies, he clearly understands the difference between right and wrong, and he clearly defends his actions. By no means do I claim to be an expert on such matters, but I've been around mental illness before, and he doesn't present himself in such a way. He presents himself as a man who does what he wants. Does he believe the things that come out of his mouth? Absolutely. Does that necessarily mean he's ill? Nope.
I'm not quick to judge him because he's a celebrity. I've been hearing about Michael Jackson and his "problems" for what, at least a decade now. I've had plenty of time in which to form a judgement on the man.
Anyone who knowingly does something morally questionable, or is suspected to have knowingly done something morally questionable based on his or her actions, behaviors and statements will have a media circus created around them. Those that feed that media circus, like I believe Michael has, deserve all the ridicule they are presented with. If they use that to play themselves out to be the victim, then yes they ARE crybabies. Honestly, I don't see how one could possibly feel Michael Jackson is a victim when he has spent his life doing things to garner attention from the masses.
I'm sorry if anyone feels I'm being unfair. I just call it as I see it. If in the end I'm wrong, I'll own up to it, but this is how I feel about it.

As soon as they found out little boys were sleeping over they should have had his go to the psychiatrist. I agree with whats been said by Emerald Aeris.
Small random tidbit. I learned in Sex Ed a while back, that molestors who commit the act of molestation or rape have a good chance that they were also molested or abused. Kinda ties in with the assumption that he might've harmed those little boys who slept over.
I know for a fact that the relationship with his father was not a good one. He was definitely mistreated and is hiding something since he comes from a strict Jehovah's Witness bg.. Point taken, don't you think he might be affected.. compelled to do something completely different than the way his father treated him.. Say.. build an amusement park for kids and love kids, especially little boys, a little too much.
I saw a documentary on him recently and from what I could make of it he had a really stressful childhood. The life of a star can be glamourous.. but like a falling star some stars are bound to inevitably crash and burn. It's not unordinary for stars to break the law and/or have psychological damage.
Yeah they think they have the power to do such things and get away with it. But if we try examining stars such as Michael Jackson, they're pretty powerless.. Money can buy them only so much. The intangible, materialistic things that keep them preoccupied from the mess they got themselves into. They don't have privacy, the media controls them and they have to sacrifice not being able to do a lot of normal things that ordinary people do. I believe Michael Jackson is a kind soul, who has a personally tortured psyche.

You made up the lawsuit? Curse you for deceiving me!I'm going to sue you now!
But then, that's what I get for trying to make intelligent posts late at night when I'm sleepy.

Don't worry. You covered your ass. You said you don't know what is true and isn't, and my article was written like an article of sorts...to some extent at least. I don't know.
I've heard that many times, and for me, it defies belief. I was brought up in that faith, and my Parents weren't strict. Also, 99% of the families I know are not strict. We simply provide guidelines for our children to follow, and then it's up to them whether or not to take the advice.He was definitely mistreated and is hiding something since he comes from a strict Jehovah's Witness bg.
There's definitely more to the situation concerning Michael's parents, as opposed to placing some of the blame on their religion. If Mr. Jackson Snr followed the Bible's guidelines properly, he wouldn't have brought Michael up the way he did.
'Tis a shame, but you get fanatics in every religion.
Thanks. *leaves*

uninhabited, hostile and meaningless universe. Still, you've got to laugh, haven't you?"
I don't know who needs more thearpy, him or those poor children. Many child stars end up messed up; they didn't have a proper childhood. Micheal just takes it overboard. Part of it is his Dad's fault though.
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here this is the War room"
What was it last time? A $20,000,000 settlement the last time someone sued him for molesting their child. I don't know about you, but that's sounds like hush-hush money. Usually you only make settlements when you know you can't win the case, which, more often than not, means you're guilty.
Why the crap would any parent let their children be around Jackson, let alone stay at his house, after such accusations have been made? That leads me to believe that the parents were just looking for some easy money. That doesn't necessarily mean that Jackson is innocent, it just means that the parents are freakin' idiots.
Whether or not Jackson is guilty, he needs some serious help.
Nah they obvoiusly think the money is worth whatever jackson does in his house...greedy is more like it =/That doesn't necessarily mean that Jackson is innocent, it just means that the parents are freakin' idiots.
I found this to be very amusing, and more than a bit scary:

Take care all.
MJN SEIFER, if you really are a Michael Jackson fan, then maybe you should consider removing your JACKO: LITTLE HAMPSTERS, BIG ADVENTURES signature...cause it really don't suits you.
As for my opinion...well, frankly I don't care. I mean, his story is kinda sad and all, but I am not his fan (used to listen to him when I was 11, actually I have all his albums because I used to like him) and well...why do people need to be so nosey? Why so many press and so much crap? I mean, I can understand it from his fans, but should the rest really care? It looks like the whole morbid sensationalistic press I can't stand. It's just another pedophile trial, only this time he happens to be famous. Is his crime - if he is guilty, and I doubt that anyway, but thats just my opinion - worse than the one made by another pedophile? No, it's just the same action. Then why do people care so much? Cause he's a celebrity.
Well, frankly, Michaels Jackson's personal life is something I don't know why the general public should care about.
warrant out for his arrest, jackson turned up way too late for court, he's going to jail.
Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers
-The allways inspiring leeza
No, the judge gave him a grace period. He's not going to jail after all.
What?MJN SEIFER, if you really are a Michael Jackson fan, then maybe you should consider removing your JACKO: LITTLE HAMPSTERS, BIG ADVENTURES signature...cause it really don't suits you.
You have this in your sig:
It reads "Small hampsters, big adventures".
