[quote name="Saphster"]I don't like how he had children with Debbie. Just didn't seem right to me. Okay Lisa didn't want to have kids. Of course she was crazy if she didn't want to have kids with Michael (lol) but...was it
right the way he did it? He pretty much threatened Lisa by saying if she didn't wanna have his babies he would get Debbie to do it. I would hate my husband if he left me because I didn't feel ready or feel stable in my marriage, and if I didn't wanna have kids, and he wanted to rush into it.
I also understand that he said she
did make a promise that as soon as they got married she would give him children. He seemed to hold on to that promise.
But, think about it. I'm sure Michael and Lisa had a lot of problems and issues and things they probably didn't like about each other. Getting married after just supposedly four months of dating is a big no no to me. I got to have at least a year or two to find out everything I can to make sure we can live together in peace and work our issues out.
I'm sort of glad they didn't have children. Even if they had children it would not have held the marriage together. I know..I know...I talk like I knew Michael but that's what I feel in my gut. If a woman does not want to have a child then you can't force her. But you can't just leave her and go get a woman to get prego with your baby while you're still married! It's just not right! And that is the only area that I side with Lisa Marie with. It makes it seem like he never gave a crap about Lisa at all if they divorced because of not having babies issue...I know there were other issues too that caused them to fall apart.
Course...I don't know the whole story.
But personally...I'd be heartbroken and bitter. And maybe that's why Lisa is like that when it would come to the topic of Michael. Even though he never said anything about her...she never kept her true feelings about him in the dark. Even the bad ones. But do people ever wonder why? because Lisa is the bad guy right? really? I'm not saying Michael was the wolf in sheep's clothing but...
it takes TWO to make things go right![/quote]
I agree with this. I really do. :biggrin
Like most fans I never cared whether the children were his or not. However, this is really important to a small cross section. One of the reasons might be bloodline continuance. Some of the fans that don't care about their bloodline, also do not believe they're his especially the first two, and it has nothing with believing he wanted to be white so he had white children. Personally I am indifferent, but since we are talking about it, I do not see any physical similarities in the 2 older children to Michael, but I'm not going to say they're not biologically his. I cannot know who fathered a child with just my eyes, that would make me god, and potentially wealthy. The fact that Prince may have vitiligo should also put this issue to rest. Ironically it seems to have done that in the tabloids, but news sites like Fox, and CBS are attributing the white patch to a peeling sun burn, or a birth mark. Hello... who gets a sun burn in that area? Also Prince's baby pics shows no such birth mark. He also has the light patches on his fingers.
I agree. I can't automatically say without a doubt they are his children, becaue I don't know that. I will agree with that. However, I still stick by my statement of noticing similarites. I do agree that blood really doesn't matter, and what matter was that he loved them. I'm just saying, from my personal perspective, I think they are his.
I do not believe Omer Bhatti is MJ's secret child because that is exactly what he would be a secret. A secret so deeply buried that Michael did not want his family, or fans to know. A secret that must be kept at all cost that would prevent Omer from refering to Michael as Daddy, or Katherine as Grandma. If Omer were MJ's child I would be bitterly disappointed in Michael, because he left him out of his will. A will he refashioned after the birth of Blanket specifically so that Blanket will be included. Elisabeth Hesselbeck of The View was dicussing wills, and she said herself, and most people update their will after the birth of a child. Furthermore, how could he go to Oxford and talk about his relationship with his father, having a day for children, the rights of a child, all the while having a secret son that he never publicly acknowledge in any piece of legal document even after death. For what, his image? That to me would be the ultimate hypocrissy.
While, yes, I do agree that it would be quite sad for him to be left out of his will, and he
is his child. However, I can't and I'm not going to pretend like I know Michael Jackson, because I don't. I'm not saying you are or you did. I'm just not going to automatically dismiss something wrong he did because he is Michael Jackson. That wouldn't be fair in my opinion. He was human just like everyone else. Again, visually, I notice similarities between Omer Bhatti and Michael Jackson. I also see similarities in him and Blanket Jackson. Now if he is in fact his son, I know I can't give a reason for him not saying so. Maybe he was afraid of what it would do to his image, maybe some views were still placed with him that he had gotten from childhood;
I don't know. This all is of course if he is in fact his son.
As for LMP. Saph you are right they got divorce for other reasons than her not wanting to have his babies. However, children played a role in the fallout. According to MJJ as recorded in the Shmuley tapes they clash on the fundamentals were children were concerned. LMP did not like that children would call M at all hours of the day, or that Michael would want to take each call. On one occassion she dismissed a child (I am sure not rudely), but that pissed MJ off. Michael also said that she loved her children more than others, and all children deserved the same kind of love. For that I don't fault LMP, I would love my children more too, but this is Michael we are talking about, he never met a child he didn't love. Another major argument occurred over 2 - 10yr old kids that had murdered a 2 year old boy in England. Michael wanted to fly to London, and talk to them to find out what went wrong in their lives that would make them want to commit such an heinous act. LMP got upset and told him his going to hold counsel with them would be like rewarding their bad behaviour. Michael did not see it that way, he told Rabbi Shmuley that if he had those children to raise they would never think about doing such things. In the book there is a whole chapter dedicated to LMP. All in All he never said anything bad about her.
I'll agree on the statement that there were more problems within their relationship other than the "children" issue. Even though, I kind of would've liked for them to have children and work out, I do understand why Lisa Marie Presley wanted to wait. However, I do think that she should've explained that before they got married. That's just me. That could have avoided a lot of things. Despite all of the ngative things she said, I don't think she loved him any less. I also think he loved deeply as well. Again, that's just me.
I'll admit that I don't know the whole situation. That includes Michael Jackson's side of what happened, and the whole complete story of what they did. I probably shouldn't know. I think they both like their privacy. So, what happened between them, should probably stay between them.
All of this is just my opinion.
