I was watching an interview on ET earlier about Michael Jackson.  (For those of you who don't know, ET is Entertainment Tonight)  I don't regularly watch it, but I was flipping channels and this caught my attention.

Michael was saying that he didn't believe it was wrong to have children sleeping with him (he later said he gave up the bed to whatever child was sleeping there and he took the floor! ) and that if "you are a pedophile or a monster" it would be wrong (his words!).  The whole scene gave me the distinct impression that IF he did commit the crime, he wasn't aware of it.

One of the reporters (later in the broadcast) was interviewing a psychologist, or something like that, who said that from what she saw in the interviews with MJ, he BELIEVED what he was saying.  Now, I know there has never been any proof of his "indescretions", and that there were probably some golddiggers searching for a chunk of the money.  But it does seem odd to me that it KEEPS HAPPENING.  Most people who have seen or heard about the original accusations would most likely know that its foolhardy to accuse Jackson of these crimes when he has been vindicated on the same charges before.

Given, he does have a strange bit about him that would indicate his nature to molest children, but that goes along with the statement I made before: there are golddiggers, and they will exploit any foible they can to get to a person's money.  But what about clergymen?  They are well known for the same acts, but to date I have only heard of one priest being charged with the crimes.  Why doesn't it happen more often?

So with that said, does it seem a little strange to you that, if he did do something to whatever child is badgering him this time, that he BELIEVES he is innocent.  This is not my view on the facts, the interviewee (sp?) actually said those words.

The only theory I could come up with about it is that he is delusional when (and IF) he commits these crimes.

So, is Michael a modern day Jekyl and Hyde?

what i find funny was the fact he claimed he had his shoulder dis-located, yet on his way out he was waving fine and so on, and he showed that nasty bruise which clearly wasnt there again when he was released from jail. the guys nut case indeed.

I also wonder abou the kids parents. Why the hell would you let your children be around this guy? After previous charges and what not!!
That is why I think it is a money thing. Don't take me wrong I'm not defending him, but I do belive in innocent until proven guilty.
But past charges never made it to court they were paid off (settled out of court) what were these parents thinking?
If it were my child I wouldn't accept any amount of money ANY AMOUNT! As a matter of fact MJ (or whoever) wouldn't live long enough to see a trial! And the sad thing about our Justice system I would be given life in prison for murder just because I don't have millions to pay!
As for him having multiple personallities, no way!
He has done this time and again, he is a actor(showman), he knows how to get attention and that is what he wants people to belive.
I think he is showing guilt if anything. One week it is his brothers on TV, then He comes on to tell his side.
I don't think it is the money this time, because if it was he wouldn't be defending himself on national television.
But back where I started, what were the parents thinking allowing thier kids going to this guys house? After he has already been accused of this type activity.
I think the parents should be somewhat held responsible for placing their kids in a situation to where they might be in harms way!

Fretnstuff, I completely agree!  However:

I am a trained actor for many years, and even though I can ACT as though I believe something, NO actor can stand up to a psychologist in study of that person's self.

But there is a point that a person as an actor metomorphs into a person that cannot tell the difference between reality and fantasy.

Acting, however real it may seem, is simply that: acting!  No actor BELIEVES the stories he is telling, he simply accepts them as a piece of a tale he is telling.  If Michael truly believes what he is saying, there is no way that he, as himself, did these things.

This in no way lifts the blame from his shoulders.  If anything, it intensifies it!  If he HAS performed these atrocious acts by way of alternate identities, he is still guilty of pedophilia by way of not confronting his problem when it was first made available, IE, when the first charge was issued.

I guess the reason I have been posting this is that I believe Michael Jackson to be a troubled and disturbed individual who should undergo psychological and mental evaluation before he ever steps foot in normal society again.

giving how he acts and stuff, well i wouldnt be surprised if hes schizo or something like that.

   They haven't proved that, people are just taking that opinion because he is different and they don't understand him.

  I don't know that he didn't do the things he has been accused of any more than you know for sure that he did, all I know is that until there is proof I will remain neutral.
I grew up listening to Michael Jacksons music, and even though he gets more and more strange, I still won't be convinced he is a child molester until there is absolute evidence to prove that this is true, just because he is different than what most people consider "normal" is no reason to label him.

Well said Fozzer. Being in the same situation myself I'm well aware of the risks. I don't dare make eye contact with a young child any more for fear of being accused of being a pervert. What a sad world we live in.

Gee, I guess 'Lucky; the post-eating monster' has been getting hungry again...
