And it's also happens to be a lucky guess.I am perfectly fine to say that I believe that you regularly engage in auto-erotic asphyxiation whilst watching My Little Pony. Do I have any proof? Nah, but I "believe" it.

I'm not saying he should be exhumed, charged and convicted of it I'm just saying i think he probably did it. I believe OJ did it too despite a jury finding him not guilty. And to say we don't deal with beliefs in our society is completely disingenuous and to put it bluntly a load of shit.OK, so your "belief" is better than a judge and jury who found him innocent, plus the FBI and several child safety organisations who investigated him for over 10 years and found nothing?
We don't deal with "beliefs" in our society - we deal with facts, evidence, proof.

You really should read what I wrote again.
By the way, in this joke of a film, they infer that another boy - Brett Barnes, who I mentioned above, "replaced" them. They're implying he was molested. One problem - it's not true, and now Barnes is suing the fuck out of HBO.
Robson and Safechuck apparently just failed a lie detector test. Which they would. Because they are lying. More and more lies by the day.
The latest to come out is that there's a scene in the film where Robson describes going to dinner at Neverland during the trial and seeing that Michael was a broken man. He claims this is the moment that he decided to testify to support Michael.
One problem. Taj Jackson amongst others were there. This dinner happened AFTER Wade had ALREADY testified.
Safechuck's mother, in the film, describes "dancing" when she heard that Michael had died.
Michael died in 2009. Safechuck in his OWN testimony says he didn't even remember that he'd been "abused" until 2013.
These guys can't keep their stories straight.
I'm not famous, so I can say this and only this forum can judge me.Did you hear what Barbra Streisand said about Michael?
"His sexual needs were his sexual needs, coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has,” You can say ‘molested,' but those children, as you heard say, they were thrilled to be there,” she said of Robson and Safechuck. “They both married and they both have children, so it didn’t kill them.”
So...yes, Jackson did it but the kids loved it and they seem none the worse for it.
Of course, she later apologized when everyone attacked her for the accusers' sake, not for Michael's.
Barb, can you please crawl back under the rock you crawled out of?
I happen to be on your side on this particular matter. MJ isn't just a regular case of an adult having a sleepover. He was a manchild in the literal sense. MJ doesn't fit the pedo bill. His childhood and the robbery of it is a huge factor. His Peter Pan syndrome. He didn't want to fuck boys, he wished he was a boy again. The way I see it, anyway.OK, so your "belief" is better than a judge and jury who found him innocent, plus the FBI and several child safety organisations who investigated him for over 10 years and found nothing?

That's a shady thing to do and even though I can understand a situation where an innocent person does it anyway, it's still a factor that can't just be shrugged off with a simple explanation like "well yeah BECAUSE HE HAD A TOUR AND HAD TO GET READY" or whatever. Settling out of court and saying you did so to avoid a media circus in an attempt to kill the ongoing media circus is almost too convenient if I try to be difficult about it. He paid money for things to go away. I don't know what to think about that. That's not to say I think it implies anything, neccesarily. I just honestly don't know what to think about it. There are, in my opinion, better ways to defend him. Eg. the part about his past, and the part about witnesses changing stories, and other things like that. What is the statistical, typical pedophile? Just reading a textbook description would exonerate Michael, imo. But the truth is, "we" will never actually know if something happened or what. We're all just looking at him, comparing him to our idea of what a pedo is, and that's most people's basis for their judgment of him and this case. None of us really know shit about shit.My first thought when I read your post was I can picture how a person that was a victim of molestation in childhood but got through it okay somehow could entertain that thought, but she must have been heroined out of her mind when she thought posting it was a good idea and okay'ed that with herself.Did you hear what Barbra Streisand said about Michael?

Really thoughtful post. I don't have the capacity to respond to that in a way that will do it justice right now but I will later.I happen to be on your side on this particular matter. MJ isn't just a regular case of an adult having a sleepover. He was a manchild in the literal sense. MJ doesn't fit the pedo bill. His childhood and the robbery of it is a huge factor. His Peter Pan syndrome. He didn't want to fuck boys, he wished he was a boy again. The way I see it, anyway.
So yeah, but with that said, that part in your post that I quoted is just so wrong and naive. The court system isn't perfect. The idea of making the person singularly responsible for their actions by law is a philosophical idea, not an empirical theory. It is the most successful attempt at maintaining societal order over time thus far in human history, and nothing more. What about people that are judged to be clinically insane? What's the empirical connection between a generic, biological condition and the exemption of responsibility? (There is none. It's a matter of humane treatment trumping the sense of justice in our collective agreement, at a current lack of other tools to deal with the problem in a way that adheres to, our collective agreement - it's philosophical)
Just because someone is found innocent by the justice system does not in fact mean that they did not do the thing they were on trial for. There are so many examples of justice not taking place in a court of law throughout history. You are trusting blindly in a system made by humans, who at their very core have the capacity for corruption. It makes no sense. The justice system isn't a belief system, it's a system designed to maintain order in the most pragmatic and humane way possible. I can only understand the idea of "believing in the system" as something that sprung out of a very Christian culture. It is not for you to believe in, it is for you to understand the purpose of. Every law is created for a purpose. Understanding and honoring the purpose of a law is what the law is guiding you to do, not to follow it blindly in the belief that that it is what is good and right. That is indeed how you teach it to children, but there comes a time when questions start arising. They deserve a proper answer, and that answer isn't "the justice system is always right". Every law at its very core is created (by people) to protect something, not to mandate you to do things for the sake of them being rightous.
Stating that MJ got off in court actually doesn't prove his innocence. Being there in the room that night on the wall like a fly and watching the whole situation unfold would prove to you what happened if anything. He also settled out of court. Donald Trump did too. You think he never fucked that stripper?That's a shady thing to do and even though I can understand a situation where an innocent person does it anyway, it's still a factor that can't just be shrugged off with a simple explanation like "well yeah BECAUSE HE HAD A TOUR AND HAD TO GET READY" or whatever. Settling out of court and saying you did so to avoid a media circus in an attempt to kill the ongoing media circus is almost too convenient if I try to be difficult about it.

But yeah, I don't believe he did it.

To be honest I didn't think you would let your would be child have a sleepover with MJ. I've got a feeling @Casey would though.Nah, I totally agree with you. I totally wouldn't let my would-be child have a sleepover with anyone that wasn't close family and that I had extensive history with. As in, having been around the person in many situations over a great deal of time and would trust them with my life.
