these men in particular would never applaud that decision, lol

[outpour]

yeah, you're right because this is everyone who stood and applauded when he won the Oscar he couldn't be there to receive because he'd be arrested entering the United States.

[vulcan_rhapsody]

oh, I didn't know that

Better late then never, I guess but I'm wondering why it took Cosby's conviction and not you know, the allegations from damn near 100 women.

Because in this country we have due process and a justice system. "You" just can't punish someone because you believe they're guilty. Even if you feel there is enough proof in your mind to prove it. How many times has group think gotten something wrong? How easy is it to take back those actions after the fact

'Or, they may just all be assholes and didn't want to do anything until they HAD to.'

it's this
