Politics is horrible everywhere but American politics seems even more of a cess-pit than the UK or Ireland, for example, both in terms of politicians ...

You've conceded the point that it is an alleged crime we're talking about. Whether the statute of limitations has passed now or not is irrelevant to t...

Just want to reemphasize that of the four scenarios I outlined, I only proposed, with reasons, the one that she is telling the truth and he is lying a...

That's clear anecdotally from what I've witnessed comparing the Al Franken case to this and the Roy Moore situation. Again, conservatives and Republic...

An accusation on its own without any context isn't conclusive. No one has claimed it is. Each accusation has to be examined on its own merits, weighte...

Nobody said she was accusing him of rape. It's attempted rape as I said. And the fact that it took you this long to figure out she is accusing him of ...

No, that's not the way it works. Eye-witness testimony is evidence. It's amazing to me that you don't know that. Actually, no, I'm not all that amazed...

With regard to this, I gave you, for example, the evidence of her testimony to show you were wrong about what she was alleging (it's right there above...

Um no, you said something that showed you were completely clueless over the whole matter, and you got called out for it. Trying to pretend you didn't ...

So, if anyone wants a lesson in how sexual violence against women is minimized and dismissed, just read through this discussion. On the milder end, we...

:up:

I don't fully believe anyone, but in my judgment her telling the truth is the most likely scenario, and I gave reasons why. Reasons that nobody has qu...

You are making a fool of yourself now. The details of her allegations are all over the internet. For a concise summary see Wikipedia (or any number of...

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. If he did, of course it says something about him. Not every adolescent is capable of jumping a girl, putting t...

So, the major possibilities appear to be: 1. She's lying (He didn't do it) 2. She's mistaken (He didn't do it) 3. She's not mistaken and telling the t...

I'm coming to the unfortunate conclusion that conservatives are just more OK with sexual assault than those on the other end of the political spectrum...

And allegedly tried to rip her clothes off. I suppose that was because he was just helping her to get changed, right? Why are you trying to minimize h...

Why does that surprise you? Sexual assault is one of the most underreported crimes. Are you unaware of that? Does the idea that a sexually abused fift...

So, in 2013 when Barack Obama was President and Blasey Ford described the rape attempt to her therapist, do you think she knew this would play neatly ...

tupid.

Sincere condolences. :flower:

*Spoiler alert*

If that's his penis, I'd consider voting for it. The rest of him can bugger off though

Dunno, but I did it anyway. :up:

I don't expect crowds to be thronging in protest at this one. I hope he finds somewhere where he is appropriately understood.

Banned @"Zoneofnonbeing" for his apparent inability to not think everyone who is not him is an idiot.

He made his disdain for us all clear to me by PM, so I released him from our misery.

I'll give you a hug, Tiff. *Hug* :hearts:

@"Posty McPostface"'s evil plan has been laid bare. I'm impressed. I bet Tiff put him up to it.

I've seen this in documentaries concerning US prisons. Maybe it happens in other countries too. In any case, the underlying problem causing the violen...

Tiff, it seems like you're asking something analagous to: Do I want a thousand dollars plus nothing, or do I want just nothing. Obviously, I'll take t...

That's a relief. *Wipes sweat from brow*

Why did Socrates break up with his girlfriend? He kept insisting on a Platonic relationship. Er. I just made that up. :nerd:

https://youtu.be/D7zXy57O7bc :heart: :cheer:

Exactly! :sparkle:

Good point. Either or both is good then, Tiff.

Deal. As long as I also get some wings so I can fly like a bird,

I'd prefer wings, so I could fly like a bird.

You still have that, Tiff. No-one is stopping you using the Shoutbox.

It's one extra mouse click, folks. I am the only one with a properly functioning index finger? :lol:

Hmm, can we make money out of that? :chin: *(starts planning retirement)*

My counter counter proposal is to confine you to posting in the Shoutbox.

I'm for more posting in the Shoutbox, but I'm not convinced as yet there is a mass movement to reverse the earlier decision. It seems hard to get a ba...

Buuut, the poster said... :worry:

Everyone gets a notification now when they start. I think you misunderstand the phrase. Anyway, I'm trying to do my bit to drum up morale. :eyes:

Please post here! Save the Shoutbox!

What I mean is, we all know where it is (especially the regulars), so the direct problem is not the location as such. It's that we couldn't be bothere...
