I has a sad

It always makes me sad when people jump on a Hate Wagon towards somebody I really admire, just because that person is/was "Weird". He's been dead for four years and despite all his charity, despite all his poetry about being the world together, despite his music that moved an entire generation, and despite never having been convicted, Michael Jackson will always be remembered as something he was only ever accused of but never proven to be. That sucks.

People should really keep me away from their kids, because everything I know about kids (and makes me a big hit with kids) I learned from Michael Jackson. Hugs are always good. Treat kids like you would treat anyone else. Cuddling is great. Listen to kids. Play with kids. It's never too late to have the childhood you always wanted. Grown-ups love to complain about how they wish they could be kids again, so just keep being a kid and refuse to grow up. Your life will be SO MUCH BETTER if you do that!

So I'm really sorry, but if you have kids? I'm gonna hug them. I'm gonna let them sleep in the same bed with me. I'm going to let them love me. Adults get mixed up and confuse "Love" for "Lust" or "Sex" all the time, and that makes me very sad :( It makes me sad that you can't love something without wanting to have sex with it :(

SO AGREE WITH THIS! It's so sad that people have to be afraid of being nice and friendly with kids because they're afraid of a child molestation accusation. Hugs and cuddling are absolutely capable of being expressions of platonic love. This applies to male/female friendships as well as adult/child interaction.

It's easy to make the obvious jokes, probably, even if they don't believe it. I don't think MJ was a child molester. I think he was someone who never fully grew up and connected with kids. Yeah, he was "weird". But weird doesn't have to be bad. He was an amazing artist and he seemed to genuinely care about people. I miss him.
