Wouldn't have let him babysit my kids.

You don't have any kids.

Most interesting that the kids who came into Jacksons life AFTER these pair such as Macauley Caulkin say nothing ever happened.

So you're saying that a paedo must interfere with every child they have opportunity to?

Also, interestingly that years ago both denied any wrongdoing from Jackson. Could be argued they were still riding the Jackson gravy train at the time and only afterwards when they were left high and dry did they decide to change their stories to cash in.

That's the problem though isn't it?

So: he's not right in the head, has a predisposition to "entertain" young boys at his house (unattended), but knows what is and what isn't appropriate, i.e. knows not to molest or force them into any sexual situations.

I'm with William of Ockham on this one.

Why does a non-retarded adult invite children (unaccompanied by parents) to their house?

People were not so aware of the abuse threat then. Recall an episode of Cagney & Lacey in early 90s where an adult innocently invited an upset child into his bed and nobody thought anything of it. They wouldn't show such a thing on TV now.

We have to be sure. I mean this is the greatest hook of all time.


Are we willing to throw all that away?

Thriller, Billy Jean.

Yeah, not sure the "dont listen to it anymore" message works with me

I've been listening to Wagner since the 40s.
