Subject: Where and Why?

Written By: Sweetheart4JTE on 03/08/05 at 3:25 am

Okay if you had a chance to go back in time..where would you want to go and why? I've got an answer...but I am curious to see what people will say about if they could go back in time and why. ;)

Okay, I am a close friend to Michael Jackson, so if it was me, I'd want to go back to about 1985 and convince Michael to - 1) stay away from little boys  2) don't get anymore plastic surgery - because these two things ruined Michael's career more then anything, and it really hurts me to knwo this. He regrets it, and I know if he could travel back in time he'd change it too.

Good one, sputnikcorp. I'd go with that too, now that you bring it up.

Sadly, most people will just say, "THE 80zzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!"

Really I thought people would want to go to the 60s when everybody was doing drugs.

I'd go back to the 1920s and 1930s, perhaps some wild place like Kansas city. Why? That era was so free and open, very individualistic. Certain cities in the country had a somewhat lawless 'wild west' feeling, but it was modern because you had cars, paved streets etc.

I think I would go back to the 50s.  Mostly because it seemed so innocent and the music was fun.

I wouldn't mind going back to Roman times, and being Caligula. That guy was fried!

I'd also like to go back to Ancient Egypt, at the time of the pharoahs. It's always been an era I'm interested in.

I'd also like to go back to when Avebury (ceremonial fertility stone circle) was a major place of pagan/ druid worship, just to see what the festivities were like then.

I'd also like to go to pre-Cortez Mexico, to witness the splendour of the Aztec/ Maya civilisations.

I'd go back to about 1860, but just for a day or two to talk to my great great grands.  A couple were slaves, some Hudson River boatmen, some farmers.  I've done a bit of the ancestry thing and would like to clear up a few questions, and see what their lives were like, but get me home on the next dimensional plane.  I really wouldn't want to live there. ;)

That's gotta be the most ignorant thing I've ever heard. Why don't you keep your mouth shut about things you don't know, huh? You don't know anything about Michael, or what kind of person he is. What's his favourite food? Color? Song? Movie? Actor? Musician? Book? Artwork? You know nothing about Michael, except for what the tabloids print. The tabloids are always wrong, and I have no idea why people believe that crap. Do yourselves a favour and read something more factual, like Mad Magazine!
The FACT is that Jacko is a child molester. Period. And this has been in LEGIT newspapers as well as the tabloids. Why do you think there are CRIMINAL charges against him?

Yeah i have talked to many people that were there.

It was the greatest single day in the History of Britain, Europe and some may argue the world. The day we took the fight to the Nazi's and really began the push

Yes, but it was a horror.  I have done some reading on the civil war and world war I and find it real interesting, but the last place I would want to be is Gettysburg or the Somme.  Are you into World War II?

I know less about WWII than the civil war and WWI, funny that, but being a child of someone who fought in WWII is was something that wasn't much talked about.  I actuallyfind the social repercussions after the ends of these wars interesting.  Reconstruction, and post reconstruction in relation to African Americans, and the Labor movement after WWI are very interesting.  Would like to chat more but gotta go get my son now.

Ok then, Yes the great war had great social reprecussions, IMO that is why women were given the right to vote, although obviously it was one of several factors.

(I'm back) WWII had its serious repercussions.  Growing up in the fifties, when we were taught about the
war we were never taught that the Russians were our allies, and the Italians weren't.  There was also the heavy fisted anti-communism that came to a head with the McCarthy hearings and the House on Un-American Activities(which was in itself un-american).  It also was a time when veterans were afforded benefits in housing and education that were unheard of a generation before.

AGAIN I say, keep your mouth shut about things you know nothing about!! Being charged with a crime doesn't mean your guilty. Everyone in American deserves a fair trial. Did you know that the Santa Barbara Police Department went forward and arrested Michael on no evidence at all. Still to this day they have no evidence, except for adult magazines. None of the boy's DNA was found at Neverland.
The trial is finally underway and by the look of things, T Mez will have the jury eating out of his hand by the time he gets to present his case. It's unbelievable that T Mez is allready kickin @$$, and he hasn't even presented his case yet!! His been ripping the prosecutions case apart!! Just think what it'd be like when T Mez does present his case. Don't be surprised if this thing is over in a couple of weeks.
Btw, in what LEGIT newspaper did you read "Michael Jackson is a chid molester"? If a newspaper or tabloid printed this, they'd be sued big time and probably be in jail.

ummmm....you can't go to jail for libel/slander ::)  And what "legit" newspaper did you read that he's not?  Just as YOU believe he's innocent, Tony has a right to believe he's not

You can go to jail for conspiracy. What Diane Dimond is involved in, is way more then libel/slander. The Queen of Tabloids is goin down ;D!!!
I never, ever said I read he's not guilty in a legit newspaper. Don't put words in my mouth!
I don't believe he's innocent, I know he's innocent. I actually do know for a fact that Michael is innocent. Michael looked me in the eyes and said, "I never did any such thing, you know I wouldn't do a thing like that." I know he was with Christ Tucker, not ever at Neverland, when the boy alleged he was molested. However, I didn't witness Michael leaving Neverland and arriving at Tucker's house and then spending up to 4-5 hours working on Rush Hour 3 (which Michael will co -star along with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker). So I can't be used as a witness. But I now it happened.

Nah man, you wont know what it's like until you see them eyes staring in the yours... tears weeling up... and saying, "I DID NOT DO IT!" I have faith in Michael. James Brown has faith in Michael, Stevie Wonder has faith in Michael, Jim Carrey has faith in Michael, Van Deisel has faith in Michael, Elizabeth Taylor has faith in Michael, Rick James had faith in Michael (God rest his superfreaky soul).

If you want my 100% godhonest answer i don't think He was going out of his way to hurt anybody, that being said, i would tend to belive he is a slighty 'different' shall we say, kinda guy, with slightly 'differen't tastes.

If at the end of the trial, they say "He did nothing wrong, he is innocent." I'll say, fair enough, leave the bloke alone now. Let him make some more music.
