Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
I missed that post of yours so thanks for linking it. It isn't a school of thought I can relate to, but I don't dismiss it as out of left field.
Ok, so she was the only one who knew? Noone else knew? Noone wanted to alert the police because of the underage drinking, I can see that.
Until it happened to her perhaps she thought those girls were willing participants in disgusting behavior. She may not have understood the force or coercion aspect, or truly appreciated the inebriation of those young women. She may have looked down on them, but may have thought it would never be her since she was not that kind of girl. Only after happening to her, perhaps, did she realize what was going on. Perhaps. I am only speculating since you invited it, not that I am advocating the position.
I'm sure an investigation would settle all the concerns that you have. I agree that if this happened, there are many more people out there who would know about it. That is why you investigate.
Are you unaware of all of the sexual assault scandals that we've found out about recently? Jerry Sandusky? Catholic priests? Female gymnasts?
If you are serious about betting I'm sure more than one person here would take you up on it. Which is why I asked you how much, if it's worth my time I'd be in.
Nope. and Flake just gave terrible speech on the floor basically confirming that he is voting to confirm.
I haven't read all this, but found it posted elsewhere today. I'll put it here since it has to do with false rape accusations. https://qz.com/980766/the-truth-about-false-rape-accusations/
These weren't kids when these alleged incidents took place. They were 17-18 years old.
Again, what we're talking about wasn't widely called "rape" or "sexual abuse" by a lot of people. Even when Judge's girlfriend says he told her about it, he didn't think it was rape. And that was years later.
It's not about belief. GOP are legitimately okay with enabling/protecting rapists within their own ranks.
I think this is where most of us are at this point. Yet it doesn't appear that's going to happen. And that seems like a serious abandonment of responsibility on the part of the committee. How can we all see that an investigation is necessary, but they are adamant about not demanding one?
How about " dude, these guys got your sister so drink she passed out then the whole senior class took turns on her"
"scrutiny"? wouldn't that require an investigation of some sort? Or arm chair conjecture good enough?
I humbly request you read Pages 174 and 175 of this thread. If you have a few extra minutes.
You can believe that these guys did this at party after party after party.... Lined up and took turns on passed out women...and PEOPLE WERE THERE AND KNEW ABOUT IT AND DIDNT SAY ANYTHING TO ANYONE EVER if you want.
I’m not a “GOPer”. I just need 1 believable story, or 1 piece of actual evidence. So far I’ve seen neither.
Did you read the article I posted from People Magazine in 1990?
Sure they did. To other people who laughed and called these women sluts and ostracized them for life, and on and on and on. I really am surprised at how you recall the early 80s.
Be prepared, your notifications are going to light the #### up now lol
Go ahead and investigate, but there not enough here to delay the vote.
I think he's referring to personal retribution. There was a guy in my high school who raped a friend of ours. Let's just say nothing was ever reported to the police, but she felt that justice was served and she was confident he wouldn't do it again.
There’s a scene in Animal House where a girl at a frat party drank to excess and passed out. The internal monologue of her date at the party was about whether to have sex with her or not while incapacitated, and the scene is played for laughs.
I believe you that happened. It was not the norm of what happened to rape perpetrators - especially "date rape" or "drugging at parties" at the times we're talking about here.
There's a scene in Sixteen Candles where the jock talks about how his date is passed out drunk and he could violate her ten different ways.
Any physical evidence, a believable witness testimony from someone other than Ford or Kavanaugh, pictures, video, anything believable really.
And then proceeds to hand her over to the "nerd" who does engage in sex with said drunk woman. Funny stuff!
This contemptuous attitude is going to kill the Republicans in November. I mean it, the public has had enough of this ####.
And she's 13 and ends up pregnant. Sarah Holcomb was the actress who played the role, comedically.
