46. As the news replays the Martin Bashir interview, I can see how desperate Michael is for people to UNDERSTAND why he loves the children. To those who have had the "perfect childhood" with the "Leave it to Beaver" parents, they cannot even come close to understanding the pain of those that are not as lucky. His success has allowed him to build his perfect childhood for others who otherwise, may not know another one is withn reach. Those who live in glass houses, should not throw stones!!
NOT WHAT WE GIVE,
BUT WHAT WE SHARE,
FOR THE GIFT WITHOUT THE GIVER IS....
BARE.
GOD BLESS!!!
49. I agree with another post that; Michael should not have had to die in order to get out of debt! I believe his upcoming concerts would have helped him a great deal. I saw the rehearsal pictures and he looked great to me. He didn't look tired or sickly! I believe he wanted to do this! The media will keep digging & digging for more & more on Michael because they are in competition with each other on who can get what first & make tons of money! Well, that money should be giving to Michael's Estate if that is how they are trying to make a buck! I pray they bury Michael at Neverland & pray it will be opened to the public as a pay-to-get-in process so his debt will be resolved & then some...a long future of his legacy!
50. We don't have all the answers or the
understanding of the things that happen
in this world. All we can and should
do is pray and thank God for his gifts
to us. Michael Jackson and other enter-
tainers have calmed us when we are in
need of a quiet moment to unwind to de-
stress or to make us laugh.
They are human beings that get tired just like we all do but someone always
seems to be pushing them (usually more
than one person, actually) And sometimes
it is more than they can handle.
The media and the public never seem to
get enough.
Think about it! How does it make you
feel when you hear about their break-
downs or something tragic happens to
them? Compassionate I hope. We all need
compassionate. I haven't met a perfect
person yet! God is Love! We should try to be more like Jesus Christ.
51. I hope that the family decides to keep Neverland and make into a public Museum or park for people to pay to come see. The money made to get in could go towards his massive debt to pay it down. He was NOT a molestor! He loved making children smile because the children were the only ones he could trust without being backstabbed by adults who are money hungry & would try to destroy a man's image for money! He was just a guy who did not want to get old-a kid at heart! Most people are sick! He was different & unique NOT a freak! People should have recognized his talent when he was alive! May Michael RIP. He will be missed!
52. TO QUOTE MARK ANTHONY AT THE FUNERAL ON JULIUS CAESAR: "THE EVIL THAT MEN DO LIVES AFTER THEM, BUT THE GOOD IS OFT INTERRED WITH THEIR BONES." LET'S CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF MICHAEL JACKSON ALONG WITH ALL OF HIS WONDERFUL ACCOMPLISHMENTS & CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. THEN, WITH ALL OUR HEART AND SOUL, LET "US" CAST ALL THE NEGATIVITY, GOSSIP, AND BITTERNESS IN THE SEA OF FORGETFULNESS.

53. why don't you look out into your own backyard before you snoop into the lives of others what happened to do unto others would you like it if people could only find the worst things to say about you when you die???? So when you can look out and say I am perfect then you can put others down for not being perfect...
54. Katy...I didn't realize you had to testify at the trials for MJ as he was being accused of child molestation. I didn't hear in the media that they actually had adult witnesses to his crime. You were there right?? You saw this right? You said he was a freak and liked boys....wow...I guess you REALLY are in a position to judge him!??
Seriously, if indeed MJ was guilty of these crimes....he only answers to one and that's God himself. I wonder if any of MJ's sins are greater than all of ours. Lets just give MJ the rest he never had. I am POSITIVE people want to be remembered for the good they did....not every little dirty detail about their life. MJ did so many great things in his life.
FOLKS....please don't point fingers...he had a life that would lead him to be dysfuctional and cooky....but if you led that life...you would be more crazy than you are now!!
PEACE!!
55. Michael does not own Neverland anymore, and yesterday, his father emphatically stated he would not be buried there. The memorial service may be there but that is all.
56. Wao, this is a beautiful place and perfect for MJ to rest after all the troubles. He will be very happy to be with his dreams at last. We all love you MJ, rest in peace.
57. I would go to Neverland. I live in Arkansas and I have been to Disneyland and Disney World, Dollywood, Six Flags over Texas, Knott's Berry Farm... I would absolutely, totally go to Neverland. I hope that is what they do.
59. We all know that Michael Jackson was well talented, but you have to remember that Jesus only loaned us Michael Jackson for 50 years. Hopefully throughout the riches and the great talent, I hope that MJ accepted Jesus Christ so he can go live with the KING.
60. Folks, Michael was not a pedophile. He was a sensitive person who felt things in the world that others couldnt see.
Think of the EARTH song and CHILDHOOD.
This man suffered a lifetime of abuse and domination, he reverted into being child-like again. Nothing wrong with that. NeverLand will be a major attraction and this would make Michael happy to share the place he loved so much with his fans.
