Bill Cosby sex abuse scandal

Dang.  You have a good memory, Raz.

No, he just has a lot of time on his hands.

Nah, Raz does have a very good memory.  He has demonstrated that fact a number of times through the years.

I have the unnerving ability to remember entire conversations weeks after they occurred.

Why is 30 bad and 15 good?

Are you serious?

Too bad you have no ability to learn or process anything from them.

I don't really understand the point of what you posted MIM.  Your blurb notes that there is something more for 4 for of the 50 states.

I think his point was that not only is saying "rape has a statute of limitations of 10 years in the US" inaccurate, but just the concept that there is a uniform statute of limitations across the US is off-base.

Seems like a pointless aside given that Marti's comment was that he thought 10 years was short. Posting a blurb that notes many states are shorter than that and only a handful are longer seems to ignore what Marti was saying in favor of a nitpick.

So.....why did he just come out and admit that yes, he did buy date rape drugs?

Wonder if this could be the start of an American purge of 70s/80s celebrities ala what the UK has recently gone through.

Seems rather arbitrary.  If a crime is heinous enough, why have a statute of limitations at all?

He admitted it a while ago, during court testimony.  It's now being partially unsealed.

This seems to have come out a bit out of context.  From the reports I have heard the admission was made in a law suit some years ago that he obtained the drugs for women who knew they were taking the drug.

The issue is: was Cosby slipping Ludes to ladies who were unaware (that is, using 'em as 'date rape' drugs), or was he just part of the '70s party drug scene and giving 'em to ladies who planned to have sex with him anyway?

The latter is bad, but not the same order of bad as the former.

Well, more to the point, ladies who knew they were taking the drug and planned to have sex with him while under the influence of the drug.

I'll never buy Jello pudding again.

Yup.

That's one of the things ludes were for, or at least, so I've heard - by the time I was old enough, they were a rarity among the people I knew at least. Never had any myself.

The media is painting this revelation as proof positive that Cosby is an evil rapemonger.

I want Jello 1-2-3 back!

Well, he may well be. But using Ludes for fucking was pretty common in the '70s, among the (non-rapey) party set - or at least, so I have heard.
