So why did they wait until the Statute of Limitations had expired to report this.

The answer is that if Criminal Charges had been filed his accusers would have to prove their charges.

That said he has admitted the charges which means he will be paying them off

No...I got it as sarcasm.

But it was an opportune time to make a point.

25-30 years ago it was all just part of trying to get ahead...make a name for themselves...rub elbows with the stars....perhaps get a break and make it to the big time.

Now it is a tragedy. Because they now know they were not special, that they were used....and that there is an entire group of them that will never escape the burden of events--however wrong.

That was just disgusting. I think their race trumps everything. Even when Whoopi was complaining to a guest about him getting more blacks into his movies, and that people like her are never in his movies and such....I thought to myself, well...in the first place, he HAS had minorities in his films. But the MAIN reason she's not in movies is not because of her race. It's because of her GENDER and AGE. There just aren't many acting opportunities for older women.

Sorry. I didn't watch the show, and I am a tad "pop culturally impaired".

Bill Cosby has always annoyed me. I don't find him funny, and he comes across as sanctimonious, judgmental and arrogant.

I guess you just answered your own question. FYI - several of them tried to report. Lastly, why was Cosby being deposed to begin with ?

I agree 100%. Was he NOT just a conservative darling before these allegations came out? On the lecture circuit about what african americans SHOULD be doing ?

Ugh. He's disgusting and always was.

Numerous people have; there are a number of threads on JD. And . . here you go minimizing his actions again. Why, he was just a 'young teen boy copping a feel' . .

SINCE he waited until his victims were asleep and unable to defend themselves . . sounds like there are at least some similarities here. And do not forget that even JimBob said that he did touch some of them under their clothes but . . 'just for a second'.

Can we stop just defending those that we think are more like us? The VERY thing this thread is accusing Whoopi of doing? She probably is but so are you.

I've never once said what he did was okay, or that he was innocent, so please point it out since you are so informative.
