Also, adult men (or women) should not be giving alchohol to minors. Neverland is supposed to be about innocence. Michael Jackson is pushing line. 488720@blogcritics.org Tue, 28 Nov 2006 23:16:53 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-187420 hey it might be the truth but it might be false as well. The man has been fired and if he was any type of true human he would of been..I would of been out of there the firsdt time I saw something not after I had been fired after 30 something years of so called proof ohh common what type of human is he.....and yes I am a huge fan but if he did it he did it but it seems a little vingeful.!???? 187420@blogcritics.org Fri, 22 Jul 2005 18:39:55 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-170677 If MJ were not famous and well liked, no one would be defending someone who sleeps behind a locked door, which is behind a long corridor with sensors that give off warnings when anyone steps foot in the corridor, with little boys unrelated to him. Not to say I think he was guilty... I have no clue and it wasn't my job to make that decision, as I was not a juror. I will say this tho... the Defense quite accurately pegged the mom as a scammer, but... what kind of person would let their child sleep with a grown man, other than a scammer or other type of distasteful person? No normal parent would allow that! Seems to me the defenses main tactic could have been used against them by the prosecution. 170677@blogcritics.org Wed, 22 Jun 2005 13:38:08 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-170620 I think the book should be BANNED and BOB JONES should be followed 24/7 by officials who will shoot the instant he utters anything at all that can be construed to be even remotely damaging or slandering to His Holines, our Lord and Saviour Michael Jackson. We live in a sick world where true purity and love and goodness cannot be understood. People will pay for condemning Our Lord. Michael Jackson is not the 2nd coming of the Christ...he IS the Christ and the world will bow before him or perish in Armageddon. BOB JONES and SNEDDON are clearly instruments of Satan. 170620@blogcritics.org Wed, 22 Jun 2005 12:31:52 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167126 whatever you say - read the dozens of stories I have written involving Jackson and I am guessing fewer than five could be called "diatribes." And holy fucking shit! Are you -- the ultimate one trick chicken hawk pony -- really accusing ME of being repetitive? Astonishing irony there. 167126@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 12:49:21 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167116 Olsen, Your anti-Jackson diatribes, ad nauseum, reminds me of the movie "Groundhog Day." 167116@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 12:34:25 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167083 welllllll if you had something new to say why not, but apart from showing the very subtle line that exists between not guilty and innocent I have not learnt much from all the bitter people who live in their own fantasy world... 167083@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 11:21:42 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167081 There is JUDGEMENT (a trial verdict) and judgement (one's personal conclusions in a matter). The JUDGEMENT is "Not Guilty." The judgement, however, is that MJ needs to surround himself with broken, crazy and tainted people because others have long ago concluded that he is not someone to be connected with. And, Eric, "move on" usually means: I insist you substitute your judgement for the JUDGEMENT... 167081@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 11:18:48 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167078 so no one should write anything about Michael Jackson anymore? 167078@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 11:12:39 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167077 Verb: move on Move forward, also in the metaphorical sense - advance, progress, pass on, march on, go on 167077@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 11:11:53 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167057 what does "move on" mean? 167057@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 10:23:32 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167049 "Not guilty" does not mean "Innocent" but it certainly does not mean "Guilty" either. Move on ! 167049@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 10:13:41 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167048 OK OK I just thought I would remind you why some of us may think that "You had a personal stake in the verdict" because you just said yourself that you had "No idea why". 167048@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 10:11:59 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167045 no one has to forget anything - I am still outraged that Jackson has been allowed by parents, society, law enforcement, etc., to behave as he has with boys over the last 20 years. That won't change. I am sorry if anyone was led to reject my judgment based upon the ferocity of my "outburst" 167045@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 10:08:18 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167044 For all the MJ fans out there, remember that "not guilty" is different than innocent. I hardly think that another OJ verdict, proof to the world that our judicial system is biased towards the rich and famous, is something to celebrate. 167044@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 10:07:29 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167040 maybe because of your recent outburst... Nobody has forgotten it you know... 167040@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 10:00:11 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-167031 oh good, more lyrics Sandra, whatever you say, babe. I am quite proud of my coverage of the trial. I gave the facts as neutrally as I could, and gave my opinion when I felt strongly about something and made it very clear that it was my opinion. I think he is a serial pedophile - I don't know if he did anything to/with Gavin Arviso, and if he didnt' he should have been found "not guilty." I think he is very lucky and dodged another bullet, but I also think the prosecution did itself a grave disservice by using the shotgun approach to the charges. I never thought the kidnapping and conspiracy charges held any water and they were just a distraction - worse still, they required testimony from the loopy, tainted Janet Arviso, which was disastrous. I have never had a personal stake in the verdict and I have no idea why anyone would think so. 167031@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 09:48:16 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-166976 And now a treat for all of you bitter twats Told me that you're doin' wrong Word out shockin' all alone Cryin' wolf ain't like a man Throwin' rocks to hide your hands You ain't done enough for me You ain't done enough for me You are disgustin' me You're aiming just for me You are disgustin' me Just want your cut from me But too bad, too bad Look who just walked in the place Dead and stuffy in the face Look who's standing if you please Though you tried to bring me to my knees Too bad too bad about it Why don't you scream and shout it Too bad too bad about it Why don't you just scream and shout it Too bad too bad about it Why don't you scream and shout it Too bad too bad about it Why don't you just scream and shout it Hell all up in Hollywood Sayin' that you got it good Creepin' from a dusty hole Tales of what somebody told What do you want from me?

Blah blah blah di blah! You were biased from the start. You have a closed, narrow mind when it comes to anything about MJ. You find him abnormal and you think there is more to his relatoonship with young boys than just friendship. OKAY. We heard ya the first time but guess what? That's your own private demon. It's YOUR palava. Listen carefully..NOT GUILTY on all TEN counts and the even ridiculous lesser 4 counts they added to desperately try and pin something on the man, especially that ridiculous one by the judge about furnishing alcohol to children which by law only applies to businesses. It's no wonder the family feel like it was a vendetta...everyone seemed to be going to extraordinary lengths to find this man guilty of something...anything. Eric..go back to what you were posting about before( can't remember what) because this whole MJ trial has made you look so bad, your sometimes clouded, biased reporting style which I remember I have accused you of before in other topics has come out in this case, loud and clear. 166975@blogcritics.org Tue, 14 Jun 2005 06:59:01 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-166705 And the rich and guilty walk free. All hail the American Judicial System. 166705@blogcritics.org Mon, 13 Jun 2005 17:35:45 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-166635 The majority of you blogheads seem quick to defend someone who has shelled out over 25 million dollars just to make betrayed children go away. MJ's reputation should have meant more to him than a billion dollars. He obviously has a penchant for little boys and has gone by for far too many years stealing innocence. If they don't get him this time, they will the next time he molests...which he will surely do again. 166635@blogcritics.org Mon, 13 Jun 2005 16:22:06 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-166628 It's all over but the crying now.This is an agonizingly long half an hour to go. 166628@blogcritics.org Mon, 13 Jun 2005 16:04:00 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-166626 wow, thanks HW 166626@blogcritics.org Mon, 13 Jun 2005 16:00:42 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-166625 The Verdict in this case will be read at 1:30 PM PST. Big News!!!!! 166625@blogcritics.org Mon, 13 Jun 2005 15:59:49 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/06/07/113938.php#comment-166568 I don't think he will be convicted. The American justice system is geared so the guy with the best lawyer wins. With the excellent fodder they have had for putting the victim (and his family) on trial instead of MJ, and with all the money he had to spend, aquittal is all but assured. The justice system is affected by color, but not black or white. The color of the American justice system is Green. Look at OJ's latest golf photos if you doubt that. 166568@blogcritics.org Mon, 13 Jun 2005 13:36:41 EDT
