Fuck off asshole. Unlike you, I can admit when I'm wrong. If that time comes and he's cleared of any wrong doing by way of clear cut evidence, then I'll be woman enough to say I was incorrect. 

You however, will tuck tail and still find a way to blame the victim regardless.

I was being glib.

I know.

Does that standard only apply to a criminal case?

edit:   This seems like a principle that may bite you in the ass later (on an atheists forum).

I'm telling you right now - if you are even considering adopting diaperboy's tactics of quote mining, I will make sure that everyone on this forum knows to block your stupid ass. It's bad enough we have one pathetic member who does that shit with the express intent to hurt others. We don't need another.

So; do you think I took your quote out of context. If so, then I’m curious what you meant by say multiple times, that this is not a criminal case, if I misunderstood.

This is the ultimate burn to a guy who is so insecure he needs to advertise his sex in his user and then make it seem impressive by pushing some MRA nonsense about being "Apha"

Disappointing huh

I was talking about this whole issue with my father a little while ago. He seems to think that even if these accusations turned out to be true, Kavanaugh shouldn't be blocked from being nominated for something he did yeahs ago in high school and college when 'everyone is young and wild'. Now, to be fair, my dad doesn't condone sexual assault at all, but seems to think that since so many years have passed this is beyond the statute of limitations or whatever. Idk... I dislike this argument lol. If he is proven to have sexually assaulted people back then, he should still face the legal repercussions now. 

Personally I think it's highly fishy that this has all come out just as he was nominated. I'm not surprised at the time that has passed between assault and accusation, the whole 'we were ashamed to come forward' argument makes sense, and it could happen. But if the three women were ashamed to come forward, why did they manage to shake it off now? Just as he was nominated? I feel like I definitely believe them, but as a left leaning female I'm biased. 


(PS I'm all over the place with this post, I really shouldn't write posts just as I'm about to go to class lol)

@DOD - this didn't just come out. Dr. Ford told her therapist and her husband years ago.

I don't know if you're too stupid to realize it, or are being purposely disingenuous, but it's nearly impossible for him to be cleared by clear cut evidence when his accuser can't even say when or where it allegedly took place.

No, if for instance Judge changes his story and says it happened, I'll accept that.

Quote:The American Civil Liberties Union announced that it is against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, a rarity in the organization’s century-long practice of not endorsing or opposing judicial candidates.

The ACLU said in a statement Saturday that Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual misconduct accusations against Kavanaugh, the subsequent allegations from other women, the “inadequate investigation” into these claims and the judge’s own testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday are all reasons to doubt his fitness to serve on the Supreme Court.

“This is not a decision taken lightly,” according to a resolution the organization’s national board of directors passed. “We cannot remain silent under these extraordinary circumstances about a lifetime appointment to the highest court of the land. The standard for such an appointment should be high, and the burden is on the nominee.”

I don't want this to be true.
