It really saddens me to see that even after Michael's death, he still cannot find peace. Each of the charges alleged against Michael were false, this man did not have the spirit to harm anyone. Perhaps you have never taken a freshmen psychology class in college, so I feel it is my job to inform you about individuals who have suffered tramatic experiences in their lives. Most individuals who live a life of physical and mental abuse, like Michael did will have the tendency to have their mental developement haulted at the point of the abuse.

Michael not only had to deal with being a child celebrity known world wide, but he also had to deal with an overbearing father who would often abuse him and his siblings. The connection Michael had with children and his child like behaviors are a direct result of a person who lost their childhood. Michael wrote a song called Childhood, perhaps you should listen to this song..In this song Michael explains everything about his life and his attraction to children. Michael was only enjoying the purity of the children in his life and through this connection he was able to relive the childhooh he lost.

Evan Chandler, the father of the first child making a claim against Michael Jackson was only looking for money. I cannot believe that any parent would trade the welfare of their child for any amount of money. As a direct result of the lies he and his family told, their family now pays the price. Last year, Evan Chandler tried to kill the same child he used to lodge accusations against the pop star. The child, who is now a 29 year old man issued a statement after he heared the Michael had passed away and in his statement he stated that, Michael Jackson never did anything to him. He went on to say that it was his father who forced him to make this claim and that his attorney's told him exactly what to say to psychologist and members of the court.

Hello Sokolie

So glad you are asking Oprah to do a tribute to Michael, yes I grew up with Michael, when I heard the news that he had a Cardiac Arrest, I was schock and in pain, when I heard that he was now in a Coma, I felt worst, then soon after I heard he was dead I was lost fro words. Michael, was no doubt a Legend, a talented, gifted soul, but a very un happy person, the Michael we knew years gone by went down hill, he was sad, unhappy, changed in every way. I truly missed Michael, I saw changes in his face, I was so schock to hear that he had 12 plastic surgeries, and he may have consumed too much medication. No one will ever replace Michael, he will always be missed. Who will ever dance like Michael? it comes naturally. Never mind Michael, all the hurts that you have suffered in this world, what a mighty GOD we serve, maybe it was too much now and you STEAL AWAY HOME TO JESUS, no more pain. Michael, I knew you had a good heart, and was very harmless, but sometimes you did some childish things, that paint a negative picture on you, BUT YOU ONLY WANTED TO BE A CHILD. I wish you did not do some of the silly behaviour like dangling the baby over the balcony, and covering the children faces but you did, because of negativity and I understood. Michael, you are gone straight to HEAVEN. Michael, I wish I could just see you wake up, I know it's not possible. Now you are resting in PEACE, nor more pain, no more insomnia, permanent sleep.

Michael was a unique person. If a man is measured by the amount of good or bad I would say that he ranks extremely high on the good side. Michael has brought an astronomical amount of joy and love to the world. His good far exceeds what ever bad he may or may not have done. I watched that video too and found it to be enlightening and I truely don't see Michael as a person who would hurt a fly.

So....yes! I want to see Oprah do the moonwalk too.. ....

We are all entitled to our own opinions.

It really is a shame that people don't have the compassion to give Michael Jackson the final respect that he deserves. It saddens me that one accusation of so-called "bizarre" behavior, (the masks and face coverings on his 3 children), was not his idea, but Debbie Rowe's idea because she was afraid for the children's safety. Even if it were not her idea, I can't see why people refused to understand why this was done. All some people needed was a reason to get money out of Michael. So when it came to his children, he was very protective. And even in death, some people are more concerned with how they can get a dollar out of his death rather than paying their final respects to a man who clearly had a good heart and soul.

All the talk about a "fight" over who will raise his children, calling him "Jacko" (which he didn't like), refusing to believe and understand the skin disease that he had that removed the pigment from his skin, etc. Is all of this badgering really necessary now? And in my opinion, the people who don't have the heart or intelligence to show respect to Michael Jackson's passing are the ones who have the "dark cloud" over themselves.

Everyone has a right to their own opinion. Discussing the very issues we are STILL hearing on the news on a daily basis is perfectly reasonable. I don't believe that Michael had some exotic skin disease, no more than I believe that his nose formed its shape all by itself. I have respect for Michael as a musician and as an entertainer. I also know there are aspects of his life that are rather unusual and people are going to talk about them.

I'm sure there are thousands of Michael fan sites where they would never allow anyone to say anything questioning him. but this is Oprah's site, and reasonable discussion should be acceptable.

You are right aisley, we all have the right to our own opinions. Who cares if Michael Jackson had plastic surgery or not. A lot of people have had some form of plastic surgery. It really isn't any of our business, unless Michael Jackson stated that he had plastic surgery while he was alive.

Who cares about the aspects of his life. We are imperfect, we all have short comings. We all have had times when things became a little awkward.

Michael Jackson was still a human being, who had a right to live how he wanted to live. He too had the right to his opinions just like we do.

He also deserves respect, he deserves to rest in peace. His family deserves to keep good memories of their beloved family member.

Michael Jackson is gone, and so are his short comings.

Let the person who has no short comings, who is perfect, who has not done anything in their life that they regret throw the stones.

My life has been anything but perfect, and I wouldn't change a thing.

Michael Jackson' life has been anything but perfect, and he was still a fine human being, besides talented.

You are entitled to your opinion aisley, so am I, same with everyone every where.

Peace & Love

I've read some of your comments, they haven't exactly been nice and have been deleted. We have a right to post our opinion about Michael Jackson, both positive and negative, BUT you do not have the right to retaliate by attacking me. So, your peace and love signature is a joke.

I to am deeply saddened by the death of Michael Jackson. In saying that I do hope that his children, family members, friends and fans will find comfort in knowing that it is all in God's hands right now, and he is ok.

What has happened to many of us, is that we tend to listen to the media and believe everything that is said by them. Often times we do not submit to using common sense about how the media uses information to USE US in responding negatively or positively to matters, depending on how they want to manipulate our thinking. Someone said the other day that FREEDOM OF SPEECH has been taken to the heights of FREEDOM TO BE MEAN, NEGATIVE AND DOWN RIGHT DIRTY. What happened to human kindness? What happened to compassion? What happened to a TIME AND PLACE FOR EVERYTHING? Yes, we all have opinions, but we must use common sense about responding to people in difficult times. Our day will come, and it will be too late to want to take it all back. Anyone who has a family member pass, certainly doesn't want to hear a lot of speculative, opinionated negativity. So what it is an opinion. What good does it do a dead person, and the ones they leave behind? Wow! I can't believe how we get sidetracked. I hope that we will grow and learn valuable lessons from this type of media frenzy, and not want to step on the side of the negative every chance we get--- Even when someone dies. PEACE

This is Oprah's message board, it's not a Michael Jackson fan site. There is a difference. What I have said is so mild and insignificant. I am bringing up the same questions that many others have. His death does not erase these questions. This is just me having a discussion on the internet. Again, this is not a Michael Jackson fan site, and I would never go there and voice these questions. There were other Michael Jackson threads started in this forum singing his praises, but no one commented on those. This is the only thread that's alive, and that's because people want to attack me. Isn't it ironic?

What is ironic is that you have said the speculative negatives, now you want to turn this into something else about a fan club....Then you want to turn this into you being attacked......More to the point this is about YOU and YOUR opinion....The responses you received were to try to get the negative gone for a minute and focus on the positive during the time of a family's grief and passing of a loved one...No one is attacking YOU.....So many want to have negative discussion on the internet...Go for it!! Maybe you'll get somewhere. And still wish you PEACE.

I did not attack you aisley, I basically just said you are correct that you are entitled to your opinion as we all are. However, I was trying get you to change your focus on this topic because the topic is not for negative comments towards Michael Jackson, but to help those who are morning his loss.

But, you keep pushing your negative opinion on others and others have been trying politely to tell you that this was not the thread for your negative opinion.

We all know that you are entitled to your opinion and nobody is trying to take away your right, but we are trying to do it in this thread. Start another thread to do your negative opinions.

From the title of this thread, this is only for positive comments, and any person who has any compassion would know this.

My signature of Peace and Love was a clue for you, obvisouly you don't get it.

You rather FORCE YOUR opinion on everyone, when we already read your opinion. How many times are you going to share the same opinion of Michael Jackson?

You like repeating yourself don't you?

Obvisously you have some issues and I understand and you are in my prayers.

You need to find peace in your heart.

Plus you totally over looked the comment that I made that we all have imperfections, and to point someone else's without examining our own is wrong.

Chill aisley, nobody is attacking. You are safe. The person who started this thread just wants this to be a peaceful thread.

Can you do that aisley? Can you be peaceful, and not feel as if someone is attacking you, threatening your opinion.

Who cares about Michael Jackson's plastic surgery, if he did he did, if he didn't then he didn't, who cares.

He was still a person, who only wanted to give love and be loved, and even in his death it seems he still can't get that from you.

How sad.

You obviously missed the hateful posts that have since been deleted. I stand by my earlier post. All the focus has been on me and my comments. The fact is I haven't said much at all, I'm just responding to the continued attacks. If someone truly wanted to discuss Michael Jackson, they would be doing so, but all they are doing is going after me. Take a look at the other Michael threads, no one is responding to any of them. That's very telling.

Most of your posts have been deleted because they were full of personal attacks, which is very hypocritical considering you speak of peace. The moderators would not have deleted them otherwise.
