I have said that children are different. I have a problem with a "victim" who is 25 when something happens and complains 10 years later. And doesn't want to confront their accuser in an open courtroom.
Its easy to say all these women and men should have had the courage to stand up immediately and call out these people who did what they did to them. Sure in a perfect world.
I read your original post. I grew up in Los Angeles. I never worked in the entertainment industry but knew many who did including up and coming actresses trying to make it. The odds are very much against even the great looking talented ones. And if you get the opportunity to meet face to face with someone who can change your life you go for it. Even suspending good judgement like meeting them alone or at a hotel which might have been arranged by one of their staff. Most struggling actresses never get such a meeting many will go along with it not assuming the worst. Especially with someone well known or a high up studio exec. There is more of a trust factor than just meeting some random guy off the street.
So to say these women are totally to blame for getting in these situations is more complicated than just saying that. It still does not give these men the right to require sexual favors for a movie roll.
"Stephen Bannon, the head of Breitbart News, said that allegations against GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore are, at their core, an attempt to "destroy" the former Alabama Supreme Court justice's life."
No Stevie, Moore "destroyed" his OWN life by being a serial predator and pedophile. What is that phrase Trump supporters love to chant? Oh yeah, "Lock him up".
Thank goodness Bannon has his "hands back on his weapons" LOL In defense of a pedo!
"Bannon did not create Moore, but he found him and backed him, disregarding (embracing, even) Moore's views. Bannon's brand of incendiary politics and nihilism doesn't believe in qualifications, experience or mental stability; the wackier the better. Perhaps this sordid episode will undercut his plan to run freakish candidates in GOP primaries."

I can understand waiting a year. But five years? Or thirty year?

Im not sure if you are joking or if you honestly dont understand the flaw in your post.
Your argument was Huntsville had so many engineers because they were home grown and the city was an incubator of sorts. it isnt. US missile command is simply stationed there and people with PH.Ds and engineering degrees are assigned to the base.
They not only come from all over the US, they come from all over the world.
so you are wrong on 2 fronts. Wrong because you assumed I supported a myth about Alabama voters in general which would have then included myself ( yea, you making the claim that I supported it never made sense, more likely , you are playing obtuse because for some reason you can never have an actual discussion).
And 2, you are wrong to try and pass off those engineers as natives and home grown.

As with most of the State, you've heard of Ft. Rucker also, and the AF base....
And if you're talking about my "little" city comment.....maybe I should have use the sarcasm emoji
first, moore has not been convicted of anything yet, so you cannot actually call him a predator. you can call him a suspected predator, but until such time as he has gone through due process, you are lying about him..
second there is no evidence that he actually did this crime, its a he said/she said type of deal, and from what i hear her story is falling apart. it also comes at a convenient time. moore has been running for public office for how many years now? why didnt this girl come forward long before this?

It's not about meeting her. Not that you care about the truth.
It is about meeting here as you are either claiming it didnt happen, or it didnt start then.

The only lies here are yours. You have no proof he had sex or raped her.
I never claimed he did either. You keep digging this whole deeper and deeper.

How would you know looking through agenda driven glasses?
Agenda ???? LOL
Roy Moore supported forcing a 12 year old to give birth to a child created of incest. The homophobe supports the imprisonment of gay people.
Are you actually pretending he didnt say those things or are you arguing that morality of those things is subjective to the individual ????

I hope someone falsely accuses you of raping a 14 year old when you didn't do it. Maybe then you'll learn.
Oh, wow, you are "big mad", I see, LOL
Well at least you are admitting you are not impartial , " falsely accused". Like I said, the man is horrible regardless of if it is true. Not sure why you are defending him the way you are.
You could have actually stuck to the "innocent until proven guilty" route and been good, but nope, you couldnt take it. LOL

First of all it's not just one girl, it's multiple women who say Moore made sexual advances towards them
These women didn't come forward because they rightfully suspected that people like you would call them liars
