Should his legacy be that of the family man that promoted family values or that of the (alleged) rapist that took advantage of his power and wealth?

His accusers come forward from different walks of life; but all seem to tell of similar MO's. I am not a judge or a jury. I do have to ask why there is no judge, jury or official inquiry?
Given the fact that a new accuser(s) are coming out each day and the list is what now..18 with a similar pattern? A former employee is coming out as well about hush money.

I still believe in innocent until proven guilty, however in light of these recent allegations, it's not looking good for Cos'.

Yes, and you know it. Her anecdotes exactly replicated a court case and a novel. Meanwhile, your pal Ted Kennedy got his comeuppance for his bloviating, *just once*.

With Bill Cosby...well, not so much - women are indeed coming out of the woodwork.

And yes, Anita Hill was lying.
And if there was any justice in this world, for ruining his life, she should have her own life ruined.

He's definitely not a saint but the fact is we're all sinners and right now he's getting "a blast from his past".

The statute of limitations has run out on practically all of the allegations being brought forward about him so the best he can do is to sue for slander. But, I think he's too much of a coward to do that.

He'll probably go slither into hiding where he'll spend the rest of his life wondering why so many people have turned against him while he was involved with "living better through chemistry".

He just wasn't aware that there were boundries that he crossed over or that even though everyone else was doing it, he never thought that he would be the one who got exposed.

But, this is a great chance to watch how a narcissistic sociopath reacts when his charismatic curtain gets pulled open revealing that his show wasn't so magical afterall.

Hm, I dunno. Terrible as it sounds he is making a smart move by saying nothing and so far it seems like he's doing pretty good for someone with a couple dozen allegation of drugging and sexually abusing women. He just had a sold out show in Florida with standing ovation.

I'm not sure how refusing to make a comment is reflective of a narcissistic sociopath.

"If you didn't struggle and don't have the bruises to prove it, it was consensual".

Because of the women's movement, attitudes have changed tremendously (though not for everyone), the police now have procedures they're required to follow for rape accusations, the police AND hospitals have received training in how to deal with rape victims, and some, not all, of the stigma has gone. It's still extremely difficult for women to talk about sexual assault.
^ This. Let me tell you what happened to me: I was vilified for going out, drinking and being naive. I was wearing a Pantera shirt (heavy metal band) and jeans - far from sexy wear... but the way I was vilified for other things, maybe they should have added what I was wearing. ::roll eyes:: Because they think a naive young girl who was drinking should have those things happen to her. I know I waited for a few days because I couldn't remember and what I remembered, I felt ashamed about. I felt ashamed reporting and talking about the few things I remembered. I can see why people didn't report back then and I can see why people are a bit reluctant today. I wouldn't wish this on anyone...

They want his money and that is all they want.
Hmmm. How many of the women who recently came out have asked for his money?

BUT - now that we've heard from the television employee - we DO know that Cosby was more than happy to pay off the young girls.

Seems to me a quite a lot of famous guys get by without 16 women coming forward to say they were raped.

He won't. There are too many for them all to be lying. But I don't get the heterosexual reference - I don't equate heterosexuality with allegations of rape, do you?

Also this crap had nothing to do with the regular people. Regular people just said this was fagtalk ( which this is ). It is all a bunch of dickless non-heterosexual supportive tatic to seperate the sexes. That is what this is about. They do not want you to produce or be happy. They want to keep people apart. It is the work of the devil. The ultimate divine sin, The prevention of reproduction and creation of human beings.

Don't you understand the people behind this bs are a bunch of pugly abominations looking out for number one. Themselves. They are not trying to achieve justice, they are only achieving status and symbolization of money. They do not love you me, or anybody at all but themselves. They are the worst kind of people.

This is just discrimination against the male gender and his native actions.

.............

????Listen to me???? The networks shut her up because it is going to far and he did nothing wrong to anybody at all. These are just his past girlfriends and that is it. All we need is a fagbook video but then again Bill Cosby is not some idiot posting his privacy online.

This is called privacy. Don't you understand. Not a battle of the sexes a discrimination against heterosexual identity. THIS KIND OF STUFF IS NOT MEANT TO BE TALKED ABOUT. They are blinding people like horses. I bet 90% of the households who have children all would claim that the sex was rape. But not the law usage of rape. This is not some over the top "Death Wish" movie. These are a bunch of racist, money grubbing, hoars, who are selling out for the sake of money and fame.

If Ellen Degenerate and Wanda never had the "Feminist bs" or "non-heterosexual bs" they would just be a bunch of straight hens and Ellen would be the new Barbra Strizand. Sean Young would be the new Ellen. But no the entire westernerize world is wrapped with non-heterosexuals and that is the ultimate point being made here.






Their is no case at all for him. Just a bunch of wenches begging fore money. Bill Cosby is an normal good man and nothing else needs to said about him.
I'm not sure what you are rambling about in most of this but would like to know how you KNOW Cosby is innocent? Are you guys pals?
