Ehhhh...I wouldn't go as far as to guess someone's sexual preference, or define their weirdness absolutely, because Lord knows some would say I have kooky eccentricities myelf. You may be dead on, but we'll never know. Several celebrities who knew him well (Whoopi Goldberg and Barry Gordy both said this) that they thought of Michael as asexual. I did find it interesting that, during the memorial, presenters begrudgingly (it seemed) mentioned Joe Jackson in their condolences (a few omitted him completely) and MANY of them walked right by him in the hug procession of the family after they got offstage. It was pretty blatant. I don't think this was a beloved man. Whatever demons Michael had were likely implanted in him by his father. Why he opted to stick his kids in a home to be raised by the man, I have no idea. They need to drop the coverage now (as if) and let those kids mourn in peace. Which won't happen because now the toxicology results are about to blow up.

I am on the fence about Joe Jackson, because I consider myself the "Joe Jackson" in my family...I raised 5 good kids and probably handed out way too many butt-whoopins.

I have a business associatiate who is a court official, he plays jazz on the side and his wife is an artist...one son is a bank robber doing 20 years and the other son is a drug addict...an they LOVE their parents.

So which would I rather be...the beloved mom of a buncha "losers" (sorry to sound harsh) or the hated mom of some kids living definately better than I had too.

If your kids are teens, that's why they hate you. It's like an unwritten law. lol. It has nothing to do with discipline. You are just destined to be the stupidest person alive, the biggest embarrassment, and every parent in the world is better than you until they hit 23 or so. The brain begins to form then. :wink: Try not to take offense. It's in their DNA...lol.
