that's a pretty classless joke to make, even for you. So fuck this post, as it was a worthless piece of shit post.
The deniers and victim blamers online are crazy. I don't know how you can support MJ (really even before this documentary) after seeing this. If a grown man ever asks to have one of my kids to sleep over in his house/room, I'm throwing punches.
While i don't excuse his behavior the guy was basically robbed of his childhood and very abused himself growing up. It's a cycle.
When I was a little boy about five, we lived next door to an elderly very religious couple who wanted my younger brother and I to spend the night at their house. My parents said okay. They spent most of their time telling us how to live including not listening to music on the radio. Now, the radio was my life blood listening to Boston Blackie, the Shadow, Superman and the Lone Ranger (this was before tv) so I knew something wasn't right. Then much later when I was about 13 a really nice Mormon from Idaho invited my brother and I to visit with him and his wife for a couple weeks. Again, no hanky panky and he was very nice to me and my brother. His brother owned a dairy farm and he would drop us off there and we would ride horses and squish cow pies between our toes with their son. We had a good time out there with some very nice people. Would I allow my children to do that? I'd be very very careful and probably say no to most requests. But, it some instances I could see allowing it.
Staying the night at someone's house is a little different request. Did they specifically ask if your kids could stay in the adults room/bed with them? (That's what was being asked to the parents in this doc.)
It wasn't my kids, it was me. Sleep in their bed? God, no. Them's fightin' words. Okay, maybe their wife but not the man.
Those people are pathetic excuses for human beings. I tried to come up with a clean way to say this without being obvious, but I can't. So I'll just say that there is a post in this very thread that is exactly that. Basically accusing someone of being in support of that behavior. Even if it's done in "jest" or as a "character", it's pathetic and telling. So I say it again, fuck that post and anything and everything that post stands for.
Sorry, I worded my message wrong, meant you. The parents in this doc were faced with the question if their kid could stay in MJ's room and knew they were sleeping in his bed...them's fightin' words is right!
Some of them, from what I read/saw, allowed him to sleep in the same bed as their own child, in their own houses.
That reminds me of a story. Once night many decades ago I was driving home and came across a drunk, barefoot friend of mine who had gotten his car stuck in the ditch. He wanted me to pull him out but all I had was a set of jumper cables, and I was sober enough to know that would never work, even though he wanted to try it. So we walked to the nearest farm to see if the farmer had a tractor that could do the job. On the way up the long, paved drive to the house in the moonlight, he was stepping on the dark round spots on the drive because he said the pavement was softer there. barfo
LOL I thought for a moment you were gonna say you friend was a traveling salesman and the farmer had a daughter.
