Emmery, those are lies.

MJ has vitiligo.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s0e2YPTHIU[/youtube]

Much, much more proof of MJ's vitiligo can be found pretty much everywhere.

MJ does not deny having had plastic surgery.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VYk4eeO4_o[/youtube]

He talks about it in his book, Moonwalk.

This vid is a bit odd, but the girl raises some good points.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjEtpBgeAw0[/youtube]

I notice you accuse MJ of buying his way out, yet you have nothing to say about the staggering amount of money that was used against him.

MJ did not buy his freedom.

You said it; society is overly litigious.

MJ is not perfect; none of us are. He is, however, a human being like the rest of us and deserves the same respect as the rest of us. As to MJ's mental health, none of us even know the man and we are not qualified psychologists, so we are in no position to judge.

Any further lies and/or allegations about MJ will be deleted.

Emmery - your comments are spurious and/or apochrophal, yes?

I'm fully with Rojo on this part of this discussion, that's for sure.

Another good reason why I moved to Canada...Here (and it seems the Commonwealth) people seem more open to diversity, acceptance, no jumping to judgment pretty much just letting people be who they are. Yes, not everyone has to like everyone else, but at least here people are more apt to just let people live in peace. Of course, if you are hurting someone else or depriving them of their liberty, safety or comfort, the government simply will not tolerate it.

Rojo, people in Canada are really lucky to have been raised with the ideals that they have. Coming from the states I can tell you that it just isn't that way there. Biggots a plenty there. Most people there just can't fathom living the way we do here.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to be here now!

Before anyone jumps all over me, I know I disparaged MJ a little, but I have always enjoyed his talent. Part of my past problem with him has been from media hype, as Rojo pointed out earlier. Who really knows WHAT the truth is? Like the citizens REALLY know the reasons for the invasion of Iraq? Who the heck can you believe about anything in the US...the government? Come on, be real.

I know they hyped up about his being a pedaphile, but until it is PROVEN then nobdy can do anything other than surmise. I fell into the media trap but am happy to be out of that situation now.

Thank you, Rojo for pointing out what should be obvious to everyone. And thank you for such a tolerant society.

Stephen - this place has its ups and downs, like any other community. But if someone really "gets up your goat" you just block them and then you don't see their pointless banter. This is, on the whole, a very minor occurrence. Most people, like Marval, Rojo, Miss Judy, Krummiest, Sweet Corn and the list goes on and one are a total laugh a minute

My opinions are validated by my own reasoning. I welcome any feedback or argument to the contrary but have not heard any thats strong enough to sway the way I feel (yet). Our court and justice system follows the premise of "Better to let a guilty man go free, than to wrongly incarcerate the (possibly) innocent". There are plenty of (probably)guilty people wielding power, money and influence walking free in the streets because of their lawyers manipulating this "loophole". Had MJ been just a poor Joe with an appointed defense lawyer...his outcome most likely have resulted in a striped sun tan and maybe commented on in the back pages of a newspaper.
If you look at lesser offenses like drunk driving, assault and such, celebrities are getting the so called "tap on the hand" treatment (counselling, community service, charity concerts ect) while Joe Nobodies are going to jail and loosing their license to drive. This is not true justice.
One of the longstanding backbones of our justice system was the notion that if a person served their time in jail, the slate gets wiped clean, and they can continue on in their life without the past hounding them. Yet citizens are warned of past child offenders living in their communities. Border guards ask if you have ever been charged (not even convicted) with any crimes in the past. Suspected terrorists are being held for years awaiting trials for crimes they have not even been formally charged with or shown the nature of the allegations against them.
The world is changing people, and eroding privileges and rights along with it. Some for the better "good" of us all, and some not.
If my views on MJ seem to out of line with the views of MJ fans...so be it...I'm not saying he needs to be whipped for his behavior, I'm just saying that its unlikely that any children in my care would be allowed near him if he was unsupervised. To me thats not bigotry or discrimination, its just a gut feeling tempered with what I consider common sense.

I'm glad you're taking a liking to living here in Canada, Stephen. :) Your enthusiasm is heart-warming. I don't know that I should be seen as an example of Canadians in general though; I'm just speaking my point of view, that's all. Can't speak for other Canadians.

Here's some Canadian humour.

CT64, I think Stephen was referring to living in Canada, not the MIMF community. But thanks for the compliment.

Well, it has become apparent to me, at least, that your reasoning is flawed because it is based on lies, exaggeration, shallow things such as a person's appearance, gross generalizations about the court systems etc.. No facts. As to a gut feeling, you're certainly entitled to one, and to state that. That's all your point of view boils down to. Your lies have been exposed, and you haven't even responded to any of the facts that I have presented.

Emmery, you raise good points in general about problems in the court system, even if they are mostly gross generalizations at best. And yes, it's not perfect. But my views on MJ are not just the views of the fans. There are also plenty of non-fans that share my views. See the first post of this thread by the owner of this forum. More and more, it's becoming common knowledge that the case against MJ was fabricated, despite the media's cheap attempts to convince people otherwise for money.

We've already stated that people are in no way required to leave children in MJ's care. I think everyone agrees on that. In any case, that point is moot, as I don't think any of us will be even running into MJ, let alone having to make a choice as to whether or not we should leave kids with him. :lol: He was exonerated, yet you continue to imply that MJ was guilty. Now, you've stated your opinion. This discussion has become tiresome. I don't really care what you think about MJ; I do care that the lies stop.

Final warning.

^^ Oh. Ok, well then I'm confused by your post. But being confused happens to me at times. I agree though; MIMF is definitely 'our' community. :up:

Thanks, Rojo~
That was great. Another really "cool" thing about living in Montreal is when the church bells ring. I hear them all day. I love that they ring for several minutes at a time. I have never lived anyplace before that had bells in old churches and cathedrals that actually worked! Let alone didn't just have a Westminster chime. It's beautiful. And 10 fireworks displays in 8 weeks? Wow!

Wow Rojo, when I recently joined this forum I didn't remember reading anything that resembles a "warning" that all thoughts and feelings expressed here must conform to Rojos' approval lest they be deemed "lies". Much of my feelings on the MJ issue have nothing to do with his latest trial exoneration, and stem back to the '93 Jordan Chandler case and aprox. 20 million out of court settlement. The case is well documented.
I appreciate MJ for his multi talents. He is a fine composer within his music genre, a great dancer (if you like that style), and he had ground breaking music video input. His voice is a love it / hate it type of deal because its unique high pitch and "whoopie" nature. His plastic surgery issues will be his own to deal with in years to come.
Many people including the original poster of this thread agree that some of MJ's actions are not right. My main contention is that a win or lose outcome of a trial these days has less to do with what is the truth or a lie, but rather if the burden of proof required has been met. There is a case of a man who was asked by the court to swear "to tell the truth, nothing but the truth, so help you God" and he replied "If I knew the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, I would be God!" Something to ponder.

^^ :lol: Wow. I bet that reply went over well in the court room. Not. :grin:

I agree; what happened in regards to the '93 allegations is well-documented. I'll let these vids do the talking. This one is about Jordan
Chandler's money-chasing father, Evan Chandler.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lVUvOLdg50[/youtube]

In this interview MJ explains why they were payed off by MJ's insurance company.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXW7LMFa6qk[/youtube]


Yes; all must bow down to my authority, and must agree with everything I have ever said. I don't let anyone here have an opinion of their own.

:lol:

Seriously, what I find disturbing is that so many people have heard lies said about MJ spread by people who don't even know what the facts are, and are now brainwashed into believing it. Just to explain why I bother to defend this artist, I originally believed some of the garbage as well; I was very shocked and disturbed by some of the things I had read. But something didn't add up to me. So I did some digging for the facts. Some of the results of my findings are here; I could post much more of them to support my views. This is the first time I have taken the trouble to educate myself on the personal affairs of an artist. Generally I couldn't care less what an artist does in his or her private life. Not my business. I don't read/watch tabloid shows. It's the music that's important to me. I think MJ should be left alone so he can make more of it. The trial was such a waste, of tax-payers' money, and of MJ's time. Time that could be spent making music. :clap:

I used to live in an apartment that had a great view of the annual fireworks festival. T'was fantastical. :grin:

Yes, I believe real bells are becoming rare these days.

I live on Fullum Street and we only have to walk down our street for about 10 minutes and we are on the banks of the Saint Lawrence, directly across from where the display is. Magnificent.

My inner city church Christ Church St. Laurence (high church Anglican), rings its bells on Sundays (before high mass), the neighbours aren't too thrilled about them, serves them right for living in the heart of the city I say!

"______________

MICHAEL JACKSON IS INNOCENT.

err the only reason he is now not serving a long sentence for you know what is he was not quite guilty 'enough', the jury members should hang their heads in shame at giving in to hype and celebrity!
(at least Oj finally got what he deserved, but he still got away with murder)
