I understand why they may have come to their conclusions, but LOGIC and CRITICAL THINKING are not being executed as far as I can see. I firmly do not believe that Michael would publicise a lie that could change his Daughters future and label her, (like the labels he had to carry through life), as part of a gain for himself. I firmly believe this is overstepping any boundary of the hoax (for whatever reason there is one) and is against the strong moral stance he has on life and his love of all children. I have also based my belief that this has happened to Paris on the factual research that has been available and I have made a short and by no means conclusive list of these. Reputable news sources reported the news and followed up with statements (NOT INC TMZ) A statement from her own Mother (who she has now bonded with and is spending time with) A statement from the Jacksons themselvesA statement from the Estate A statement from the 911 department (who declined to name the person they transported to Hospital)Secondary research:The Conrad Murray Phone Call to ParisPrince cancelling his trip (important for his own career) at the weekend to be with Paris100's of social media members (including big names in the industry) that have commented and left good wishes for ParisTop Psychiatrists appearing on News channels reasoning with WHY this has happenedMy own documentation/reviewing of the past 18 months of change in Paris and her life and considering her age/statistics of teenage suicide. Now based on these FACTS coupled with the thought that Michael did everything he could to shield his children from being used as tools to get to him, coupled with his moral and spiritual stance on life, I came to the conclusion that this was in no way part of the hoax. It is just too serious of an issue to mess with and to be part of whatever people here want to label the hoax.SUICIDE IS TOO SERIOUS OF A MATTER TO MESS WITH, reputations are on the line, Paris is a role model to many teenage girls, and no matter if you like it or not news stories influence minds, we wouldn't all be here 'HOAXING' otherwise.This has been a divided and open discussion which has brought to the front some serious discussion points and feelings FROM EVERYONE and yes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, right or wrong. What saddens me is that it seems some have lost all faith in TRUTH itself and are so closed down to believing a truth when it hits the headlines. This is not the first time I've seen it happen here and it really saddens me because it's when love is needed to be sent back to the world the most and we ourselves grow spiritually. One of Michael's biggest messages was to give LOVE back to the ones that are suffering in the world, especially the children and why he donated so much time and money to helping those who were suffering..... SO WHY ON EARTH WOULD HE MAKE UP A SUICIDE STORY ABOUT HIS OWN DAUGHTER and RUIN HER REPUTATION?With Love.

He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.~LMP

You tortured me! Why? V: You said you wanted to live without fear. I wish there'd been an easier way, but there wasn't. :icon_cry: Evey: [whispers] Oh, my God! V: I know you may never forgive me(really appropriate for some of us ) , but nor will you ever understand how hard it was for me to do what I did. Every day, I saw in myself everything you see in me now. Every day, I wanted to end it. But each time you refused to give in, I knew I couldn't.

Sadly I think this is true, however I seriously question if her motives were less about a stupid concert and maybe about the trial (where she would be a star witness) and the four year anniversary of her dad's "death" coming up.Michael loved those kids and I know he would never let his children go through such drama and pain if he was still here....at this point I do not know what to believe. I will be praying for a speedy recovery for Paris.

I cry every time! But something jumped out at me when I read this quote.....YOU CUT MY HAIR! We all noticed Paris' dramatic style change including her very short hair which may be an oblique reference to Evey.
She was reportedly placed under a 5150 psychiatric hold for 72 hours — the same evaluation that Britney Spears went under in 2008 :ghsdf: :icon_albino: that allows for a qualified peace officer or clinician to involuntarily confine someone because it’s deemed they have a mental disorder that makes them a danger to themselves and/or others.

My own documentation/reviewing of the past 18 months of change in Paris and her life and considering her age/statistics of teenage suicide.
Ok I feel like I have just been ushered out.I have lost someone I truly loved to suicide.And I will never forget the almost unbearable pain, the helplessness, the numbness.I still feel disgusted and I feel saddened.And most certainly I do not feel entertained.I feel sad and yes I feel offended when I see so many of you taking this lightly, laughing about it and joking.Maybe my personal history with suicide makes me vulnerable. If this turns out to be staged then I will still stand by my conviction that it is morally questionable, even morally reprehensible. And I will feel disappointed by Michael and I will still think it´s a bad bad choice and in bad taste.Call me petty, blind, ignorant, faint-hearted, hypocritical, a "bad hoaxer", misled or whatever you want but I can´t help it.So maybe this isn´t the right place for me to be.I understand that opinion and perception are bound to be subjective.And I realize that maybe there are some among you that have a similar personal history but still feel comfortable with this.I can´t.I am sorry. I don´t want to offend anyone. Just feel truly and utterly sad.
MJLoyalFan - Thank you for at least being respectful in your opinion and understanding that others are allowed to have theirs. Kudos!I get and respect the points you make, even though I don't agree. The one point of yours I'd like to highlight is:You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginReputable news sources reported the news and followed up with statements (NOT INC TMZ) A statement from her own Mother (who she has now bonded with and is spending time with) A statement from the Jacksons themselvesA statement from the Estate A statement from the 911 department (who declined to name the person they transported to Hospital)My problem, that ALL of the "reputable" sources you point to above, also reported that MJ Died. As we know he is not, it demonstrates that the sources are not always "reputable" after all - Jmo.NO ONE HERE KNOWS IF MICHAEL IS ALIVE, NOT ME, NOT YOU, NOR ANYONE ELSE WHO IS A 'HOAXER'. It could be a complete fabrication of the truth and in fact Michael really died that day. I don't say that lightly, its just that there's not one piece of absolute clear and solid evidence that would stand up in a court of law to say that he didn't die. Lets be honest with ourselves here. Which makes your argument that my research is not reputable seem full of hear say. Sorry to be picky, not personal at. The point of the list of my research coupled with the points I made regarding the strength of the topic (attempted suicide), was to show that it was very unlikely to be a fabricated story and that this would go against everything we know about Michael's moral stance and that this was not based on my emotions but research, as you quite rightly say is paramount.Just my opinion of course, but I also wonder what research etc. was done to come to the conclusion that this was a lie, other than BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THE HOAX AND WE WILL KNOW IN TIME. Because these are not reasons. As I have said before, this would be the worse scenario to play in the hoax, destroying your Daughters future by labelling her like this. With love.
How does someone attempting suicide ruin their reputation??

This really has to be answered?Think about it, this is no ordinary child, she has a reputation, she wanted to be an actress, she now has a label.......oh come on please, use your intelligence and knowledge of what happened to Michael. Time and time again his reputation was tarnished. There is still a massive stigma linked to mental health whoever you are or wherever you are in the world.

Time and time again his reputation was tarnished. There is still a massive stigma linked to mental health whoever you are or wherever you are in the world.Use my intelligence? Ok I will. IF this were real, and a suicide attempt is a black mark on a young person's reputation as you suggest, then why are the Jackson's and Debbie Rowe (who talks to no member of the press, pretty much EVER, except to tell them to shove it) eagerly confirming these reports to anyone and everyone who sticks a microphone in their face? Shouldn't they be saying 'no comment', not 'oh yes, it's true!'This is like watching a TV show and getting wrapped up in believing the characters and their adventures are real.This is much like watching Paris cry on stage at the memorial, then listening to Katherine Jackson say over n over that Paris can cry on cue and is an excellent actress, and not making any connection.Side note: If I'm right and this is all fake, there's no risk to her reputation. On the contrary, it will boost her acting resume. Look at how she's got everyone going.I don't think the Jackson kids ever took off their masks. The show's not over yet, we should keep watchin'.
