Christine Blasey Ford

Face and body language today. She needs a shitload more counseling. Doubt she was molested and likely wasn't right in the head from early on.
Overly Attached Girlfriend is more stable than this lichen.

All that work in psychology and she still comes off crazy as a loon

And...that makes attempted rape ok...how?

It doesn't. Not at all. But it does seem that we are creating a standard that no one can meet. If we are going to judge people on what they did in high school, no one is innocent.

Erm. Sexual assault isn't equivalent to underage drinking or other such minor offenses. It's the kind of thing that could (and should) completely derail your life, even if you're 16 when you do it. There is never, ever an acceptable excuse for it.

A person who is not aware of this is unfit to be a judge at all, let alone sit on the Supreme Court for the rest of his life.

Granted. And I recognize that my previous post was somewhat flip. I was late for an appointment.

Yet, any one of us can be accused of having done something before being an adult that can impugn our entire lives, without proof. This is the environment we are creating. The fact that she was at an underage drinking party does not mean she deserved what she says happened. It does call into question her reliability as a credible witness. Was she drinking? How much? Does she have or has she had a drinking problem? If this occurred as she said it did he is unquestionably unsuitable. Sexual assault is a serious matter. But in this politically charged environment, with the stakes as high as they are, are we really just supposed to take her word for it? If he really did assault her questioning her story is invalidating and damaging to her personally, but there is too much at stake to be swayed by he said - she said.

This dude...smart...listen to him.

I appreciate the point you're trying to make, that allegations are not (and should not be) considered as anything more than that. Kids do stupid things, and should be given the opportunity to learn from minor transgressions (shoplifting, etc.). The idea that an unfounded accusation is enough to destroy someone's life is more than a little unsettling to me as well. Since this accusation is of a particularly serious crime, I support the investigation and will accept the conclusions drawn from them. Anyone interested in the integrity of the Supreme Court would do the same (like you! Yay!). We'll see how it goes down, and I look forward to the chance of us agreeing on something :)

The questions concerning her drinking, however, are a part of the problem. While the same questions are being asked of him, the reason for them is different. If she answers yes, that she was drunk when he assaulted her, and that she was often drunk during that time in her life, she's done - it torpedoes any ability she has to talk about what happened, EVEN IF IT DID INDEED HAPPEN. If he answers yes, that he was drunk that night, and that he was often drunk during that time in his life, it becomes cause for further investigation, but still leaving open the window that he may be innocent. The double-standards present are crippling for women, and are a main reason thousands of assaults go unreported every year.

Please liberal may you leave through the door no questions asked

Look mate it's the internet and who put your plug on vibrate

It's the internet. You telling me to leave makes me more likely to stay and fight. If you can't handle your views being challenged, a public forum on the internet isn't for you.

Says the person who claimed he was better

Dam I missed a good one!

Wait... What happened?

All I know is there was some really nasty insults from one person. One of them had already deleted everything.

Wow someone already downloaded down voted my last comment to you. The leftist trolls must be out right now

They're pretty upset right now. Kavanaugh killed it in the hearings, bad news for them.

I've got active replies with all of them and they're bouncing around my comments. They're out to get everyone.
