Thread Name: BS: Michael Jackson-UK TV interview
Subject: RE: BS: Michael Jackson-UK TV interview
Look, yes, he's seriously weird, but I didn't get the feeling that he was dangerous (to kids or anyone). The whole "Peter Pan Child thing" IS legit...it really IS how he sees himself,-

From just watching the show, I don't get the feeling that he is dangerous either, but he was using the same langauge that dangerous people use. And these people would also have you believe that they were not dangerous and they come across as very plausable too.

This idea that they, (the adult) are subject to the wishes of the children is interesting. In MJ's case this was that it was the children who wished to sleep in his bed, in other cases many serious abuses are justisfied by the perpetrator in exactly the same way.....

I am not in any way defending this industry or the damage that is caused by producing the images, but in the current climate where thoudsands of people are being charged for simply looking at these images of children on the net, many of those charged also being famous, we have to ask if our feeelings here and the actions of authorities are right..? Is it a double standard?
