So you are not ready to admit that every human being is different in this manner and that millions go off to war.....and some make a life afterwards, yet 10's of thousands kill themselves. All exposed to the same basic thing.........

Maybe a woman like you would have made a good guard at a prison or concentration camp. Not saying you would do anything wrong, but you seem to be somewhat hardened against long-term repercussions of violent events.

Many people are not. Many people would never forget seeing an animal slaughtered for meat - many people do it for a living every day....

I had hands laid upon me by a man (driver) when I was hitch hiking - I was probably 14. I remember it, but since I got right out (he responded to me telling him to pull over).

I was also in a situation where I was locked in a cell with a person who swore they were going to knock me out and rape me (male to male in a JV prison). I will NEVER forget that feeling....it's a "caged animal" feeling and one cannot help but imagine those who didn't get out of said situation (I did)...

BTW, in your opinion - are ALL the Republican women calling up C-Span and on the talk shows right now...taking about their emotion and crying......are they all acting also? Can you give us your opinion on them?

Such a desperate statement.

As this proceeds, Trumplings will become ever more desperate.

Relax. If Kavanaugh caves, there'll be another conservo to take his place.

I'm ashamed that Hirono represents Hawaii. She's an embarrassment. I'm sure she'll leave out that she was using this incident for fundraising.

Crazy Mazie (men should just shut up) is trying to attack the sex-prosecutor lawyer asking Ford questions.

The Dems are just grandstanding and have nothing to offer. Maizie Hirono is a bimbo.

Thanks Johnny........

I don't remember where I was when that driver laid his hand on my thigh. I can tell you within a couple miles, knowing my usual routes.

And in your example, that is just your brother, but would not something be up if every person you identified that was at a party did not recall such party? And even further, stating they never even met a specific person?
.... and if there were only 5 or 6 people in the house and HALF OF THEM left the room for an assault, what were the others doing??

That may be why Kavanaugh can so strongly deny this. He may legitly not remember it because he was so drunk.

Obviously professors usually are. Good thing that they are in universities, where they don't impact society.

Yes, you're right, something is happening... democrats are showing themselves to be corrupt liars who complete disregard the rule of law.

The point you fail to acknowledge here is that republicans are merely demanding reasonable evidence that this event took place. That's all. Something... anything... this lady has nothing other than highly questionable witnesses, inconsistent details, and hearsay. Tell me why her word should be believed over Kavanaugh's.
