Everyone risks perjury if they're found to be lying under oath, so it's doubtful anyone has ever lied under oath except like really dirty looking peop...

I think it'd probably be more important to locate the rapist and the various accomplices, as opposed to someone who supposedly was nearby. It seems yo...

Really, you were privy to gang rapes of drunk girls, and the typical assailant was wealthy? Fascinating. Kavanaugh must be guilty.

Not a lot of substance to this thread.

In fairness, "acquisition" is a word, and it's likely he misspelled "accusation" and spell check guessed wrong.

I suppose, but I don't know what it would entail other than what we already know. He said he didn't. She said he did. Unless there's a super surprise ...

Senate minority leader Schumer said back in January he would "use everything he's got" to stop the confirmation. Wouldn't the simplest explanation be ...

This is such nonsense. Yes, I overstated the number of people who were supposedly in the vicinity of the alleged event, and so you may now modify my s...

We're all ignorant of the facts. We only know what the respective parties said.

It's possible also that everyone was drunk and all recollections are faulty. It's also possible that Judge is an upstanding person who would never per...

Depression, like any genetic condition, continues to exist because those who have it are able to reproduce. I would suspect that the more difficult th...

Corroborating yourself with your own prior comments seems a bit flimsy doesn't it? There was a supposed attempted rape at a party, yet exactly one per...

You have the right to confront your accusers and subject them to cross examination. Any system that doesn't allow an accused to fully (and I mean full...

It's an interesting thing, where the general public is much more forgiving than are the representatives of the general public. Representatives are so ...

The problem is that I have no idea how poker works, but I can say that those who do (the others in the various forums where you've been ejected) have ...

Okay, let's take a break. You're getting more pissy than usual and you're taking it too personally. This is a true difference of opinion about what ju...

But what about what you're doing to him? Why does he not receive any empathy? Explain that. It is just very possible he's done nothing wrong? Why do y...
September 24, 2018 at 02:03
Nope, you don't know me. You really don't. I believe in forgiveness and salvation in the sense that I think that people really can change who they are...

You are wrong actually. This is a truly a big issue for me. I see all this as a system for allowing people to be thrown away and discarded. It's inhum...

Fine, double down on your sanctimony and let me know how deeply you feel and inform me that I couldn't care any less about people being abused. I just...

My point was that that Kavanaugh might be innocent. Franken clearly wasn't. That is the distinction worth noting. The Republicans would pull Kavanaugh...
September 24, 2018 at 01:26
So sanctimonious. We all have the same empathy as you for those who were actually sexually abused. The question here is whether she was, not whether w...
September 24, 2018 at 01:16
Not to nitpick, but the Franken accusations came from multiple women, all while Franken was very much an adult, and one accusation was of an event tha...

My challenge is to whether any court has jurisdiction over the offense. If we elevate the offense to a felony because apparently you're one hard core ...

I would think myself incapable of providing an objective answer because I was personally impacted by this crime, as it was my daughter. If summoned as...

Oh yes, it's a classist thing, where privileged elite folks ought have less sympathy than those who happened not to be so lucky. I have a sneaky suspi...

At best, he's guilty of sexual assault, a misdemeanor. He supposedly got on top of her and put his hand on her mouth, a serious violation if true, but...

I take this statement as distinct from the OP. The OP suggests that there is some variation in any two objects. I see that as an empirical statement. ...

The guilty always appreciate going undetected. Do you suggest that the harm to the cheater ought be considered before revealing the truth?
September 14, 2018 at 20:48
Your position seems to be that marriages and monogamy are largely bullshit mirages, and so should someone learn of another's infidelity, they needn't ...

There are two questions here as you're presenting it. The first is whether they ought be told. The second is whether the messenger ought reveal his id...

I suppose, but that seems a rationalization more than anything else. If I overhear your plot to murder your neighbor, should I keep that tidbit to mys...
September 14, 2018 at 19:00
Not truth for truth's sake, but truth for the person being cheated on's sake. Hypocrisy would arise only if the messenger were a cheater himself and y...

I think many religions and religious people believe God does reveal himself, so this premise can't be accepted as a given except to an atheist.
