The Great Debate - MJ3

[Renan_Antonio]

"Do you feel you should be able to see them here rather than visit a tabloid website which has crappy articles written about them."
That's pretty much it... i voted Yes!

[passy001]

I voted no. simply because I don't want to be part of the reason they become damaged someday due to the excessive and obsessive media intrusion.
Hollywood is a very shallow place to live. I get the feeling that the media is paying the Jacksons some lousy cash in exchange of the flurry of pix we're seeing lately. they are deliberately staging these bizarre public outings for the press in exchange of money. That's just my hunch on the issue.

[mehdiblanket]

No we should respect Michael privacy and if community is unique website should say no
With the love

well if Mike were still alive the kids wouldn't have been exposed to the medias by Katherine already, I'd say no, but since they aren't nearly as sheltered as they were before, as their being put on television every couple months to promote some new Mann venture. I'd say pictures would be ok, but no discussions or dissecting of three children. Hell NO.

Also about Michael's wishes... yes he wanted privacy for them, but the kids privacy was invaded numerous times, his own mother is selling him thru his kids out. There is no such thing as ''staying loyal'' when it comes to pictures, as they've been put on television numerous of times already. Official pics should be allowed. Discussions shouldn't be allowed though.

[twinklEE]

So official pics yes, anything else no.

[MIST]

Blanket isn´t a teenager.He´s only a 9 years old shy boy with no father or mother to protect him.

[claudiadoina]

I voted unsure.

I don't want paparazzi pictures of them, still I would want to see how they are growing up.

All I want is to see them and read about them once in a while and to know they are doing fine, they have a great life.

[Sunflowers]

I voted no. And that is because it's what my emotions say. Ofcourse I'd like to see pictures where they are happying and going about with the most normal live they can have. When they are on public things or when pictures have been taking with them doing charity work, then for me, it's ok to post.

I hate paparazzi and if there is one place an example can be set to them, it's an MJ forum. The kids are to young. Blanket is only 9. And at 13 and 14 they are still kids, smart kids though. They will be followed by the papz for the rest of their lives. It's not something we should encourage.

Allthough I think it is important that the MJ fan community shows support to the kids. They should know how much their father is loved all over the world. And how many fans are putting together charities, help out and how Michael changed a lof of us.

i have to say the latest pap pics of the kids have unnerved me greatly interms of their protection and the intrusion they face and the fact there seems to be no one around to protect them anymore

Agreed, and Prince really seemed annoyed by the paps presence in these latest pictures.

[Resa]

I voted unsure, as much as I like seeing pictures of the kids I'm worried about the long term effects.

[PrincessMichaela]

Well, I clicked on this thread and started reading and was still unsure and then "Privacy" started playing out of my speakers, so I'm going to take that as a sign... LoL... and vote for no.

[Ashtanga]

I voted unsure. I still do not know if "yes"or "no".

This is a very delicate question. I'm sure everything would be much different if Michael was here. *big sigh* PPB would not be so exposed and with thousands of fans on the internet (which for me is scary - pictures and videos private all over the internet and forums about them. o___O) as they are now.

But... for now, only official pictures.

[etoile 37]

I voted yes. Michael never tried to hide his kids from the fans, he wanted to protect them from the haters. I'd rather see the pictures posted and discussed here than on tabloids websites.

Anyway, whether we like it or not, the paps will keep taking pictures of them. Not posting the pictures here will not stop them in any way. Especially if those who want to see the pictures have to go on tabloids websites to see them (THAT is good for the paps).

[serendipity]

The pictures are everywhere and people will see them anyway (let's face it) whether it's on other forums, sites, social networks etc. I think it's rather pointless to ban them here.

[Minimj]

I voted Yes.

There was going to be a time where Michael would have stopped them wearing there masks. Well to be honest it was Debbie's idea in the first place, and she obviously doesn't care, because if she did, she would have them wear there masks.

If the kids were going to respect there dads wishes they would have wore them, but they are coming to an age and we have to respect how the feel now, because there dad is not there for them now.

Plus all MJ forums far as I know off except this one, is not allowing them. So wouldn't it be best to go with the flow?
