Michael Jackson,Will he make a comeback? (Edited)

It was about 10 years or so ago when he claimed on Oprah's show that he has vitiligo. I think he *could* have it AND uses skin whiteners in addition to mask the patchiness of the disease and even out the skin color. That's the least of his worries.

He doesn't need to be near ANY kids. This is a man who dangled his own son over a balcony.

Eric -- for you.

Eric - didn't MJ come out recently stating he NEEDS to be around children? Mary

"NEEDS" is very subjective. To an average adult male or female, They "NEED" sexual gratification.

The very definition of a Pediophile vs a Child Molester are very different. A child molester is not neccesarilly pediophile, and a pediophile is not neccessarily a child molester.

A pedio. is sexually excited by a child. A child molester may or may not be.

I interpret MJ's remark that he "NEEDS' to be around children to mean that he NEEDS the sexual gratification and excitement that they bring to him.

In my eyes, he's a textbook Pediophile, who has the potential to be a Child Molester (as does every Pedio).

My book too j. I'll always think he's guilty. Same with OJ. Both committed the crimes but both walked. When is life fair?

M.

I just do not believe OJ actually killed them. What I believe is he hired someone to do it. That is the way the prosecutors should have went. That is why the glove did not fit and so forth.

As far as MJ, I know I wanted a guilty verdict from the start. But, after listening to some of the jury statements, the prosecution was flying by the seat of their pants and the defense had their ducks in a row.

One question though, why in the world would MJ actually tell the public that he has small boys in his bedroom? Why would he tell the public that he allows them to have his bed while he sleeps on the floor? What happened to the video evidence they supposedly removed from that secret room at Neverland? Those questions were never answered and if the prosecutor went after him because of that then the United States of America's justice system is in big big trouble!

Since when do we prosecute people in the United States for being weird and a big kid?

It must be that the just simply said there was lack of evidence against MJ. Iam not sure if Iam off on this but it seems in Hollywood if you have money and go to trial you will walk!!!!

[Miss Mary]

Shawn - forgot all about the balcony incident.

Linda - I respect your opinions. You seem more fair minded than I feel right now. And of course you have another way of looking at both cases - from a judicial standpoint.

All I know is MJ is weird!

As usual..I agree with you Linda, but not entirely. I too, am of the belief that OJ did not commit the crimes (himself), and that there was probably more than one assailant. Watched the trial from beginning to end.

I think you are giving MJ way too much weirdness slack though.

[BUD]

If OJ didnot kill them all by himself how come the police are not looking for someone else????

Well...that would be because the case is CLOSED!

[Skywatch_NC]

I've always thought the glove theory was doctored anyway...I'm sure there's ways to make a glove (that used to fit a hand the size of OJ's) to shrink in today's modern technology world.

[BUD]

Eventhough the jury didnot convict OJ, he was still sued by her family for other damages.

[BUD]

Why does it seem like if you are a celebrity you have money , you can do what ever you want??!! The old saying goes money is the root of all evil??!!

[cycloneye]

Thanks GD for editing yesterday as I was off-line for more than 24 hours until miday today.

Well I said what happened if you look at the first pages of thread.I said all along that the prosecution case was not strong enough and there is the veredict.

[TexasStooge]

I'm just glad that the case is over.

All I pray is that he REALLY changes his ways.

not guilty on all counts...heard the verdict yesterday

[Skywatch_NC]

Wonder how many will be at his concerts in the future??

Perhaps slightly lower #'s since his trial.

I think you'd be surprised.

I know I won't be there.

[Brent]

My opinion of him hasn't changed... any parent who wants their child to spend the night with him needs to be locked up themselves!! I know he says he's going to stop, but I bet once he sees young boys he'll be back to his old ways *sigh*

Oh... and I'd rather gouge my eyes out than go see him on tour. He doesn't WANT me to go see him.

[streetsoldier]

Now celebrity shyster Mesereau tells the press that Jacko will "NEVER sleep with children again" (???).

RIGHT...close the barn door after the horses are out?
