Funny, I was going to ask the same thing of you, Curtis. From the first post in the current exchange: ----- Willytex: Not all singers are black, and not all black singers use Propofol. Another prejudiced statement from Curtis. Go figure. Curtis: That was a shitty thing to say Richard. Judy: So was making a dumb joke about Michael Jackson's death, IMHO. ----- We can go through this as many times as you want, Curtis. The words won't change (unless you change them, but I'll just change them back). > Below is the part where you defend poor Michael Ooopsie, another lie. I'm not "defending" Jackson. > "redoing" but in no way "regaining" his lost youth. > (critical distinction I'm sure except to the many > boys who shared his bed.) Yeah, I'm going to put it *all* back in so folks can see what I actually said: ----- Michael Jackson was a very, very, VERY strange dude, obviously deeply psychologically damaged. I've never understood how he kept going as long as he did. (I'm not a fan; I'd never listened to his music until after he died, when I watched a couple of videos out of curiosity but found them pretty boring.) For a man in his 40s to sleep in the same bed with young boys is pretty weird. His preoccupation with children in general was pretty weird. Best explanation I've heard is that he was a case of arrested development. He never had a real childhood, and he remained very immature emotionally. It was easier for him to relate to children than to adults (especially given his superstar status, where all the adults he knew wanted a piece of him), so he surrounded himself with children, who at least wouldn't try to take advantage of him. At the same time, he could model the loving father he never had. He was essentially redoing his own childhood. Strange and sad and sick and suspicious-looking, but it's not at all hard for me to believe nothing sexual was involved. Ironically, if it was nonsexual it was just as disturbed, and almost certainly not good for the children involved. But if it wasn't sexual it wasn't a crime and certainly didn't warrant the deluge of savage, slavering demonization he was subjected to at the hands of the media and public and perhaps even the prosecutors. ----- Oh, yeah, and this too: ----- Curtis: > By his own > admission Michael, the adult, slept with young boys over > and over again. I don't live in a world where some people > are asexual. Judy: Speaking of alternate universes...: http://www.asexuality.org/wiki/index.php?title=Asexual_Sites http://www.asexuality.org/home/ ----- And then leave in what you quoted but couldn't respond to: > <curtisdeltablues@> wrote: > > > > > > --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > > > I've heard is that he was a case of > > > > arrested development.
