I was being sarcastic ;) Perhaps I was too subtle. My feelings toward Michael Jackson and his actions at this time and in the past about his ability to be around children- to quote Attalus who quoted me who quoted Attalus who quoted me who quoted Attalus who quoted me- NO [img]smile.gif[/img]

[QBGabriel, I don't think anyone is out to "flame you," more to point out that MJ's methods of showing of his child are questionable and dangerous. There are other ways to "show off" your child then dangling them off of a fourth floor balcony. Michael Jackson was showing poor judgement as a father by putting his child in a position where he could have quite easily been killed.
There is no way I would do that with my daughter and I'm a hell of a lot bigger and stronger than Michael Jackson could ever hope to be. You may not like children, and that's your perogative, but when a "so called father" does something that idiotic, it raises the ire of all parents.
Yes, we've done stupid things as parents, but we don't knowingly and intentionally place our children in harms way.[/QB]

Sorry but I can't see any other LordKathen as anything but a flame at me.
Yes what Micheal did was dangerous, showed poor judgement and put his child in a position where he could have quite easily been killed but I see other parents doing this every day. Letting their kids ride in cars without seat belts, passing them from one balcony to another, leaving them in care of slightly older sliblings and going out and many more stupid things.
As for me not like children, The bug the hell of me and I can't stand to be around them but I'll never hurt or ingore one in trouble.
I can understand how it raises the ire of parents as you put it but I just could not understand what a simple mistake would justify some of the comment he recived and felt I had to step in and play the devil avocte, why because I can't to see some one be ganged up on for something so so well pointless, he did it, the kids fine and he reaslied what a dumb ideal it was.
Once again trying to what right bites me in the ass.
I mean it not like he said (Or I said for that matter) Hilter had the right ideal is it.
I gonna give this forum a rest for a bit again.

Ack, go play one multiplayer game, meanwhile....

I think maybe it's best if all parties just agree to disagree, and shake hands or perhaps a Group Hug, and end this thread amicably. I mean yes it is a serious issue in many ways, but on the flip side, we are all LOL, arguing about Michael Jackson [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I wasnt flaming you Gabriel. I could if I wanted to though. But there is no need for that as you said, you are free to express your opinion here. What I will say is, someday you might have kids and understand that this IS a BIG deal, especially from an alleged child molestor with obvious mental problems. Look at his childhood for one, who would'nt be screwed up? Next look at his face. I will also rest here, and bygons my friend.

Let's all take a deep breath and remember, this is just a message board, not the inquisition. We won't solve Michael Jackson's problems here.

Gabriel, remember that some of these people are parents and have very strong protective instincts. Most of us have strong emotional responses when children are involved. So if needed, agree to disagree and move on. LadyZ's advice was quite good. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Remember The Time when Mike was just a little talented kid?

Ever since Dirty Diana Ross discovered the Jackson 5, I've really liked the way Mike Beat It to the top of the charts over and over again. He could really JAM!

When he went solo, I thought he was Off The Wall for leaving his family behind, but he really managed to make an even bigger Thriller out of his career. In those days, I was thinking, "go Mike, Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough". [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

It's really BAD that the worldwide popularity caused the innocent, likeable Mike to be Gone Too Soon, and replaced him with something you'd only expect to find In The Closet. It may be Human Nature, but Mike, I must say, "uncomfortable is The Way You Make Me Feel".

Unfortunately, all he's done lately makes him seem Dangerous, and it makes me want to Scream.

Maybe Mike just needs love? It is sad that he has to say, "She's Out Of My Life" about all the ladies he's been with. Maybe if he tried to hook up with a Liberian Girl?

Getting away with the things he has certainly makes him seem like a Smooth Criminal. Leave Me Alone seems to be his cry when he gets unfriendly press, but he craves attention and does anything he can to get it. He certainly shouldn't put his kids in danger if he doesn't Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' with parents and other caring individuals around the world. The dangling issue really is Black and White.

Mike needs to take a long, hard look at The Man In The Mirror.

EDIT - YES I KNOW I HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON MY HANDS. ;)

SECOND EDIT FOR FONT COLOR CHANGE.
