Jim,
It is certainly not normal to have so much plastic surgery. It is also not normal to do anything that is not the majority rule. I know people who won't eat blue candy, and people who won't talk to anyone with red hair. We all have our individual quirks. So what?
MJ was addicted to surgery. So what? He had problems. Who doesn't?

As for admitting to having children sleep in his bed..well...the act itself is not wrong if the intention is not to harm. I have kids sleep in my bed a lot too. Kids like to sleep with adults. I think that most adults have lost the child-like spirit and do not even tolerate children well at all. To me, THAT is much more reprehensible. But, again, we don't know the true back story. We only know what the press sensationalized.

As for the kid with the towel, well, that was the only thing I saw which made me wonder if MJ was high at the time. But, I guess I'll never know what was behind that either. I let my sister roll off the bed once when we were younger and she fell on her head. If I would have been famous, the headlines would most likely have read, "Singer deliberately bounces sibling on head."

As for his not being in prison, I really believe he was blackmailed and that THAT is the back story on the whole pedophile deal. Even the kid who accused MJ has been quoted as saying MJ didn't do anything and that his father put him up to it.

My question to everyone who condemns MJ is this:

WHY IS IT EASIER TO BELIEVE THE WORST THAN IT IS TO BELIEVE THE BEST IN OTHERS?

If someone can give me a good answer to that one, I'd be very interested. But, then again, THAT is the reason why negative news sells.
