Just leave Michael Jackson alone. 274393@blogcritics.org Thu, 17 Nov 2005 15:04:33 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/20/093031.php#comment-35389 u think 2 little 35389@blogcritics.org Tue, 6 Jan 2004 09:50:57 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/20/093031.php#comment-35384 u r sick...u "think" too much...too much for your own good. why can't things just be, why can't things just happen because they are bound to and soppouse to...u really shouldn't go disecting people's lifes, dreams and feelings just because they're popular doesn't give u the right to. just leave michael jackson alone...care about your own wrong doings and sins...and stop judging and making a mockory of somebody else's name from pure assumptions and ignorance. You should get a life. 35384@blogcritics.org Tue, 6 Jan 2004 08:33:38 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/20/093031.php#comment-29565 all i would add are gratuitous mentions of "beat it" and "can you feel it?" on a semi-serious aside: this post doesn't argue that he is guilty--it chronicles a descent of which possible criminality is just the latest and greatest symptom; and the presumption of innocence doesn't bar idle speculation. 29565@blogcritics.org Fri, 21 Nov 2003 07:57:05 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/20/093031.php#comment-29526 Actually, you're presumed innocent until you start poking little boys. Repeatedly over a period of years. 29526@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Nov 2003 22:35:09 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/20/093031.php#comment-29505 Oh, yes, I know. 29505@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Nov 2003 21:40:15 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/20/093031.php#comment-29501 Natalie, I meant this to be tongue-in-cheek. 29501@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Nov 2003 21:36:49 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/20/093031.php#comment-29490 Nat, SOMETHING has caused the transformation of this person from this to that, and I don't think it illegitimate to trace the signs back wherever they may appear, if only looking for the origins and expressions of things that aren't in dispute, like his fixation with childhood and all things childlike, the physical mutation, the inability to deal with the "real world," etc. I hope he is innocent of these charges, I will not be surprised if he is not, we don't live in an informational vaccuum in the meantime. 29490@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Nov 2003 21:16:02 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/20/093031.php#comment-29486 Presumed innocent until found guilty? I guess not. 29486@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Nov 2003 21:04:19 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/20/093031.php#comment-29341 I really enjoyed this Michelle. Also if you remember the cover for bad, he was wearing a leather jacket with all sorts of zippers, straps and buckles. Strange 80's fashion, yes, but a little scary if you think about his ensuing relationships with children. 29341@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Nov 2003 09:58:41 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/20/093031.php#comment-29332 excellent Michele, thanks for making this explicit - like you say, it was there all along 29332@blogcritics.org Thu, 20 Nov 2003 09:46:24 EST
