What is Michael Jackson’s trip? In your humble opinion.

It has gotten to the point with me that I just can’t stand to even look at his picture any longer. IMHO, he looks like a ghoul! :frowning: His head resembles a skull with the skin thinly stretched over it. And that nose…there are rumors that his real nose is nothing but two nostril and he wears a false “tip” over it; it actually looks like that may be the case, imo. It creeps me out to look at him. :frowning:

Very sad.

As I said above, I think he probably suffers fromBody Dysmorphic Disorder.

I have to say, it irks me when people attribute his weirdness to “not having a childhood.” Lots of people didn’t have a childhood. Lots of people suffered massive abuse. And they manage to function in society. I think Michael Jackson is severely mentally ill with multiple different conditions. His childhood conditions likely exacerbated his underlying problems, and his wealth has allowed him to avoid getting the treatment that he desperately needs. But that doesn’t mean that the childhood abuse caused the weirdness. Correlation does not imply causation, and all that.

I don’t see how I missed that. I read the article and that about nails it (to me anyway).
I think it would be neat to get the professional word on what the deal is. Not professional
Conjecture (professionals on the outside looking in) but from one who has actually evaluated him – would imagine that if there were not so many yes men around he could have gotten the treatment he needs long ago. But why do I care, Why am I getting so worked up about something that is essentially none of my business? Because it’s frustrating to see one of the icons of my youth slowly disintegrate before my eyes. I see this guy (and his millions) flounce around with a face that is clearly not his any more, this high pitched girls voice and his “I am the victim” routine, and I wonder does he know he is doing this – is it part of the act? Or is he really out to lunch, after this latest round, I think its safe to say – out to lunch, WAY out. So sad.

I’m not so sure that would be racism. I think that’d be “racial envy,” if there is such a term. That is, you despise your own race so much that you go to any lengths to emulate another race.

Exactly-I mean, why aren’t his brothers as bad as him?

Janx, i was not referring to you or the OP. there have been quite a number of threads/posts recently about MJ that mostly ignore the ‘innocent until proven guilty’ stand just because he is a freak. that bothers me somehow.

i think he knows he is a freak, but he had money. money that he had used to try to change the reality around him, the people around him; money that would not buy him a new body, true friends nor lasting happiness. i think most people would agree that he would not have gone so far astray had he not been rich, even as we would wish for that money for ourselves. even as we ourselves might have been on that path to madness, had we but the ability to take it. i hate lynchings.

Lynchings? Gimme a break. You sound like Jermaine.

A person is innocent until proven guilty in the eyes of the law. Whether a person is factually innocent or guilty is another matter entirely.

i don’t know who’s Jermaine. that can’t be a compliment anyway. he’d better be someone infamous, or something…

ok ‘lynching’ was inappropriate, i’ll stick to ‘pile ons’?

i haven’t been keeping up with the news, has it been ascertained for a fact that he had molested (or whatever) the kid in this latest case?
sorry for the hijack. back to the OP - i would have thought it not inconceivable to have circumstances that led to his nose collapsing, but enlarging your eyes after all that?! … i can’t help but think he might have better results going through a sex op in the first place. and the least he could do is to publish the names of his plastic surgeons…

Jermaine is his brother.
