By that insinuation you must somehow know he is guilty, which you obviously do not. The question begs for an opinion only.Escohort said:Of course not guilty!!
Just as we're not guilty when we call SP's
It's just for companionship and nothing more
Perhaps because he is innocent of the charges. Maybe not the smartest course of action, but it certainly doesn't imply guilt of sexual advances/ activity.Escohort said:Well, similar accusations were levelled at him 8 years ago. Why did he continue to see boys after that????
I never said he was normal. That doesn't make him guilty of the the charges against him. I believe he has psychological issues, in that he has not matured in line with what society considers a mature male. Could you please define what you call "sick", because it seems you use it in derogatory sense and see anything that doesn't live up to your standard of what is normal as being "sick".I certainly don't and no normal grown 42 yr old man has sleepovers with kids. Thats Sicko with a capitol S
I don't. I believe there is a good chance he could be innocent and do not have enough insight to reach anything close to an absolute conclusion. I only posted "not guilty" to balance things out, predicting in advance the usual silly rhetoric.BTW How do you know he's innocent??
Sure, why not throw some alien beings into the arena.Mcluhan said:.. his perversion extends beyond 'kids'..beyond humans...
pool, you are living in a dream. Of course, none of us know for sure whether he's guilty or not, just as none of us know for sure that OJ is guilty. But the probability that they are both guilty is staggeringly high.pool said:Sure, why not throw some alien beings into the arena.
I don't see why people are so quick to assume MJ is guilty. I actually do hope that he is, in fact, innocent. For his sake and the sake of the boy(s) involved.
Common sense? This is TERB man! TERB and common sense are mutually exclusive - have you taken a look at the Politcs forum lately?!?!?!Escohort said:Pool & Incognito. I respect your opinions and I applaud the fact you want to protect the "innocent till proven guilty" statute, but your logic and attempt at fairness pushes normal reasoning to its extreme and completely abolishes any common sense IMHO
I only wish that were the case. I don't think I need to tell you how many people have been wrongly convicted, because all the evidence seemed to strongly point to the probability that they were guilty. The reality is that it's entirely possible he is not guilty, although I just happen to think there is also a good possibility that he is.banshie said:pool, you are living in a dream.
... and a narrow minded one at that.Oh sorry, that's just my opinion!
I feel that we are not dealing with "normal" circumstances, which in my mind sometimes calls for extreme reasoning.Originally posted by Eschort

Thank you.pool said:... and took the liberty of adding "I don't know" - magic, ya know
