Is that a really odd way of asking to play Bipbipbip?

Or are you, in fact, a loon?

Kick his ass, Grim...,!

That sound like a great machine, Raptorkitchin! If you ever find out how, can you make me one?

There was a time when you'd have been flamed to a crisp for posting that, but these days we'll just treat you with the disdain you obviously deserve.

Or maybe we won't. Only time will tell.

A RESPONSE TO THE HATERS ON THIS SITE

I, like many totally beilieve Michael Jackson is innocent of all charges. Here I will illustrate examples of why myself and so many others beilieve him to be innocent.

What you need to know about the accusers

The family have a history of extortion. In 1998 gavin and Star were caught shoplifting some clothes. Caught red handed the mother insisited the boys were planning to model the clothes for the store, even though there was no contract or evidence to support this.

Outside the store Janet Arvizo the boys mother became involved in a scuffle with 3 of the stores security officers. Rather than spend the money on prosecuting the store dropped the charges.

Soon after Janet filed a lawsuit against the department store for the equivilent of £1.6 million. She claimed she and the boys had been viciously beaten by the 3 store detectives one of whom was a woman.

During the litigation a psychiatrist was hired and found Janet to be "schizophrenic" an delusional.

2 years later Janet added a new sensational charge claiming the 2 male security guards had "sexually fondled her breasts and pelvic area for up to 7 minutes.

In subsequent depositions Janet, Gavin and Star also claimed they suffered broken bones in addition to there mothers sexual assualt. Although they were never treated at a hospital.


Ulimately rather than face the damaging publicity from a lawsuit the store reached a settlement for the equivilent of £73,000 days before the scheduled trial in 2001.

The abuse they claim committed by Michael Jackson did not start until after the airing of the documentry "Living with Michael Jackson" in which Michael Jackson innocently admitted he did sometimes allow children to sleep in his room. Around this time its possible that the mother Janet saw the opportunity and download files readily available on the internet from the Smoking Gun website detailing the abuse alleged by Jordy Chandler. She then read these statement allowed to her 2 sons thereby prpgramming them and soon they came up with there own stories. Janet then went to fond a lawyer, not any lawyer but Larry Feldman the same attorny who represented Jordy "Jerking Off" Chandler and who recieved £500,000 for the settlement of that case. Feldman arranged for the boy to be interviwed by Dr Stan Katz who treated also treated Jordy Chandler in 1993.

Now for those of you who dont know anything about the first case, that to had a huge argument in the favour of Michael Jackson in from which I highlight this comments from the author of the article It is, of course, impossible to prove a negative -- that is, prove that something didn't happen. But it is possible to take an in-depth look at the people who made the allegations against Jackson and thus gain insight into their character and motives. What emerges from such an examination, based on court documents, business records and scores of interviews, is a persuasive argument that Jackson molested no one and that he himself may have been the victim of a well-conceived plan to extract money from him.
In summary on page 8 she states:And what became of the massive investigation of Jackson? After millions of dollars were spent by prosecutors and police departments in two jurisdictions, and after two grand juries questioned close to 200 witnesses, including 30 children who knew Jackson, not a single corroborating witness could be found. (In June 1994, still determined to find even one corroborating witness, three prosecutors and two police detectives flew to Australia to again question Wade Robson, the boy who had acknowledged that he'd slept in the same bed with Jackson. Once again, the boy said that nothing bad had happened.) The sole allegations leveled against Jackson, then, remain those made by one youth, and only after the boy had been give a potent hypnotic drug, leaving him susceptible to the power of suggestion.

Michael, please let me know that you are ready for a comeback.
Posted by MJ_invincible_1991, around 14th December 2008:
 
I know that there is now no chance to get new contact to Michael that I can tell him and show him proofs on paper, I printed the last time proofs out as I recognized that there is a big intrigue. I am in the
depths of despair. I gave my last money to make a new trip to US but they withholded the letters from me too that I didnt had a chance to show and tell Michael this whole desaster. I just want help, because that is really an unfair move whats happend and I am a bit afraid about this guys. It is all so unbelievable but I can swear that Michael is absolut innocent because I got a new list with hidden threats, that told that this is a "sledgehammer of two tribes" and that I shall let it be to motivate Michael Jackson because he would be "ashes to ashes". I shall delete what I got ( the porn emails) and when I dont do that I would get trouble however where I am.

And the girl with the "You are not alone" placard looks like Haley Paige, that well known pron star (now deceased).

no adult heterosexual man would want to sleep in bed with a boy (at least not related to him). I get frequent hard-ons in the middle of the night and the idea that some boy might notice it or accidentally rub against it totally grosses me out. I should also point out that I'm a long time MJ fan. Thriller as the first album I ever bought, I memorized the dance moves in the video and own ever single MJ album and Jacksons album released over the last 30 years and greatest hits albums for the music before that. I still listen to his music, but I certainly think he's guilty. I rationalize it with myself on the grounds that just because someone is a pervert doesn't mean they don't have any artistic talent.

Dear Cal, Last night (December 18), between 6 and 7 PM, I saw a car accident on northbound Interstate 5 between Saginaw and Creswell. The weird part is, one apparent victim of the accident looked to be a GRIZZLY BEAR. THE THING'S CORPSE WAS BLOCKING THE WHOLE LEFT LANE. There's got to be a news site that tells me WHAT exactly I saw there, be it a Grizzly bear or something else
Posted by Meatwood Flack, 31st December 2008:
 
Wow. I go away for a couple of weeks and it's MJ season all over again.

Although I'm more intrigued as to whether it was a grizzly bear or not. Cal?
