I think you're confusing "proof" with "reason to believe". We have plenty of reason to believe they're telling the truth. The similarities between their stories, for one. The fact that actresses who played the Cosby kids' friends had their own stories about creeper Cosby, for another. Perhaps more significantly, the fact that these women have absolutely nothing to gain by lying about this. Heck, just them talking about this has already made them bad guys in your mind and the minds of many others. They're probably going to come out from this worse off than Cosby, since they don't have millions of dollars and publicists to shield them.

I hate to bring up Occam again, but do you really believe it's more likely that all of these women are lying about something they stand nothing to gain from, or that a rich and powerful guy abused his power and money to do unscrupulous things to get his dick wet?
Its a sad day when Tanoomba is one of the most reasonable people in the thread. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

Ordinarily I would cite Tanoomba being on the other side of the argument as proof positive that I'm right. Then again, Astrocreep is on my side of the argument, which means I'm automatically wrong. Do those two cancel each other out, or is the universe about to implode?

Given your avatar I'd say you're more a Tanoomba kinda guy. That shit don't fly in Jersey.

It's not OK to mock them over shit they didn't say and don't believe. That's just being an asshole, and it does more harm in terms of distracting from actual rape that what the feminists are doing.

I mean, all the "stare rape" comments are stupid too, but at the very least "stare rape" is a phrase that HAS been used by some feminists. It makes some kind of sense to mock the idea of "stare rape" because you're making fun of an actual stance that you may believe actually dilutes the idea of rape. But when you mock a stance that itself was mockery, you're just proving that shitting on people is more important than having a good reason to do it.
Jesus it is like you are completely unfamiliar with how comedy or jokes work.

Bro, sometimes when a comedian, or even just a person, make fun of someone they intentionally exaggerate a particular item in order to highlight how ridiculous a situation is. That's the joke. Dot fucking jpg.

How the fuck do you walk around among normal humans when you are so oblivious to how we function as a society?

I don't know if Cosby is guilty or not. And neither do you. The only people who know are him and these women.

But saying they don't stand to gain anything from this is just false. That Janice Dickerson woman has been on the news non stop since this thing broke, she is capitalizing off of it. She isn't the only one.

Oh look, another thread where Tanoomba derails it over a word he doesn't understand. How shocking.

As far as the motivation of women, yeah, some do have motivation. However, many do not really seem to have any motivation that we know of. I see very little upside for actresses that are currently in successful shows to jump on this. Given so many accusations from women without any real motivation (and in fact, plenty of reasons why they would want to stay away), it seems pretty damning to me.

Yeah, it does. But someone already pointed out the child sex abuse at day cares case, and there are probably untold other examples of cases where you have tons of people saying similar things and it turns out to be bullshit. I really have no idea one way or another, but knowing that there have been cases where it turned out not to be true even with a large group of seemingly well meaning people saying the same things, I am hesitant to really come down on one side or the other.

It does bother me that a man can be a serial rapist for 40+ years and no one has any evidence, at all. Maybe there is evidence, though, and we just haven't seen it yet.

What the fuck evidence? You expect them to produce dried semen from twenty years ago?

idk, anything at all. A fucking receipt for all of these date rape drugs he must have bought over the years, a witness who sold them to him to corroborate, a woman who escaped mid or before the rape took place, a goddamn police report, just one. Anything at all to corroborate the stories. Of course i expect that. He isn't fucking Moriarty, he's the Jello Pudding Pop guy.

Nah dude, their inability to provide evidence is just even more proof that they are telling the truth.

Apparently some of these women did accuse it of him soon after it happened, which I think counts for something.

I'm going to be real skeptical on any accusations that have a possible outcome of piece of a 400-million dollar pie, though. And as for a successful actress having no motivation? Part of a national scandal is damn good publicity.

Cosby probably did/does like screwing young white chicks (I can't imagine...), though I don't know if he'd go so far as drugging/raping them.

the reason for lack of police report or any official allegation isnt because cosby is some kind of rape ninja. its because it makes it much easier to blackmail cosby with the threat of a charge. did he rape these girls and then decided to pay them off when they complained? maybe, maybe he raped every single one of them and decided that at 77 its too late in the day for them to do shit about it and so he stopped paying them. i think its more likely that he fucked those chicks legit and probably brought drugs to party with. some of these chicks saw an opportunity to soak him because he is married and a scandal may humiliate him.

i think he has some illegitimate children so the dude likes to fuck around. i also guess he is keepin quiet because he would have to admit that yes he is a whoremaster and it will ruin his rep as a family kind of guy. his strategy is that if he keeps quiet this will all go away. which it will because they have no evidence and if these allegations run their course the story will be swallowed up by the next big "news" story.

I think his strategy of keeping quiet is mostly a legal move, but also a pr one. Anything he says, ANYTHING, will be used against him. Look at that AP interview. I don't know much about fancy people's problems, but I know enough that when accused of something you don't volunteer a fucking thing. ESPECIALLY if you're guilty.

Bro, pretty sure you and The Cos don't travel in the same circles. You might be surprised to find there is a whole industry that makes, markets, and sells drugs to regular people, who buy them at a big ass store, the kind that usually keeps records. Or a doctor who might. You're talking about a 40 year history of drugging and raping women and I am sure there is physical evidence to corroborate these stories.

If he did what he is accused of, there would be no evidence.

If he didn't do what he is accused of, there would be no evidence.

It is therefore equally likely, based on the lack of evidence, that he either did or did not do what he is accused of.

Pick your side. Honestly I think it's either true since many women are telling the same story, or its an organized campaign against him, and it would be hard to tell the difference.

It seems unlikely that there would be no evidence at all, but what do I know about decades long serial rape campaigns.

It also seems unlikely that there would be a campaign against him, but I suppose that kind of thing can happen.

Why do you guys talk to Tanoomba? Every time I see one of his posts in these threads I know it's time to skip the next couple pages.
