It would be inappropriate to ask it if his family were on here, which I doubt they are. The only connection anyone on here has is they were a fan, so save the outrage BS for some you actually knew.

I think you are completely right. Though I would throw the word greedy in there as well.

I voted no. The two boys who claimed that they were molested were after some of the millions that Jacko had made and trying to be famous off his back, plus they thought that they could hurt him as he looked like he was conflicted with his emotional life.

No, I do not. I did at first but many things changed my mind. One of the biggest problems I had with it was the parents setting for money rather than justice. As I said in another post regarding this--I could never face my child when they got old enough to ask why I'd do such a thing. If my child were molested I could never be consoled by money over justice. But that's just part of why I no longer believe the allegations.

People also forget that burden of proof in a civil court isn't as stringent as burden of proof in a criminal court. To convict someone in criminal court, you gotta have hard evidence. Where circumstantial evidence is used, it better be beyond reasonable doubt. Furthermore, most civil suits are settled out of court. Settlement does not presume guilt.

I really don't care.

He was a singer. That's it, that was all he was.

Given his bankrupt situation at the end...then lots of money was paid for something he says he didn't do.

Honestly I don't know.
Didn't vote as there is no option for that.
I do feel that if he did, the truth is going to come out now that he is gone.

As far as the content of the post, I'm not offended.
If he was a child molester; he got away with it while he was alive.
The fact that he was who he was.. larger then life, a "god", whatever anyone thinks he was.. if he molested children it is wrong.
From what I remember it was only male children sick

Look at all the people on the Megan's Law site.
I actually wonder how many people posting that he was not & how wrong this post is.. have posted to other posts about child molesters with a different opinion.. different because that pedophile wasn't Michael Jackson.

People are going to talk.
Had he lived and done his next tour I think posts would have been made anyway. Every time he was in the spotlight this came up.

Wrong to talk bad about the dead? probably, but I'm not seeing any really nasty posts.. the posts are more discussing things.
