| nemu 10/02/18 3:50:07 PM #27 | First offense, no unless it was like multiple children or something, and they serve their time. Second offense, yes, they can go to hell and live in poverty for the rest of their life. |

| nemu 10/01/18 6:35:38 PM #34 | SweetieBelle462 posted... CE trolls downplay the effects of SJWism yet again. I'm confused. Was this a Kickstarter project that was falsely advertised or something? Like, this narrative is not my cup of tea, but this is an indie project the devs have full control over as far as I can tell. It will either flourish or die depending on how people react to it. Pandering problems come about from overly progressive people taking on existing franchises and shoving it full of their narrative, then calling people x-ist when they don't like the changes made. |

| nemu 10/01/18 5:49:53 PM #61 | ledbowman posted... nemu posted...ledbowman posted...nemu posted...Her telling people decades later adds no credence to her story. OK, perfectly fair. I have no opinion either way, other than that I don't think she has met her burden of proof whatsoever. I don't think that should be used to decide anything, and that if the allegations are true that it's just an unfortunate situation for her that she can do nothing about. Unless someone is able to come forward to help corroborate, the only thing she has is her word. Kavanaugh being sketchy does nothing to prove or disprove her claims, though if the vote went south because of him being sketchy, completely fair. There are plenty of circumstances where guilty people go free because there's not enough evidence, but that's the unfortunate reality of life. |

| nemu 10/01/18 5:36:32 PM #57 | ledbowman posted... nemu posted...Her telling people decades later adds no credence to her story. No, it does not. It proves nothing other than that she did not make this up last week. You can say "on a personal level, that makes me more inclined to believe her." That's fine. But we're talking about something just short of a court of law here. Any random Joe can say "well, I told my therapist, my lover, and best friend that 'random celebrity' raped me and that I frequent parties that person also frequents." If there are no other details they can provide, then it's completely useless. |

| nemu 10/01/18 5:29:02 PM #54 | Her telling people decades later adds no credence to her story. Any insane person could start going to therapy and telling loved ones things. You need a person who can put them at the same place at the same time at very minimum. Polygraphs are complete bunk and prove nothing, daytime TV fodder at best. Even if they weren't bunk, she was only asked two broad questions. Show me a test where she is gone over at length on every little detail. |

| nemu 10/01/18 5:19:45 PM #52 | ledbowman posted... nemu posted...ledbowman posted...nemu posted...ledbowman posted... Nope. Not a single person exists who can confirm it happened. The only one person who could says she is unable to corroborate it at all, but "still believes her account." That's a whole lot of nothing. The other people can only corroborate on the idea that she has been talking about an assault for several years now, but do not have any details that can help the idea of the actual assault. She is without anything other than her own word, which is not enough to put someone in jail or get them labeled as an attempted rapist for a job interview. |

| nemu 10/01/18 5:04:57 PM #12 | Eh, making the kind of game you want is fine. Make a game with six gay characters, six trans characters, six straight characters. As long as it's not being inserted into an existing franchise, I wouldn't really call it pandering. If the game sells well, good for them. If it doesn't sell well, then it may have to do with the ideological stance, or it could just be a bad game. |

Once again, better than being a bleeding heart. Beyond being nice to a victim you personally know and keeping basic human decency with victims of any crime, "listen and believe" is a crock of shit. Not believing someone who has presented no credible evidence is not a bad thing. |

I don't know what's going on in this woman's head. There is no gotcha moment to be had here. All I'm saying is that she is lacking very critical details needed to prove her case, and beyond someone credible coming forward to support her, she is unlikely to ever have them. I think she personally seems like a gigantic drama queen faker from her testimony, but that can easily just be personal bias. |

That is fact as of right now. The only thing she has is a description of what she claims to be the incident and that she has told other people about this supposed incident. Without a single person to corroborate the time, date, or place, she only has her word. Your response is basically "well, someone wouldn't lie about such a serious crime." That is not a defense. That is an appeal to emotion. I don't think Kavanaugh is a saint. Even if he didn't commit this crime, it is entirely possible he has committed other crimes. But that is just my initial emotional thought. It is not reality. It cannot be applied to anything. |

Trying to say someone is being truthful because it would make no sense for them to lie is just a faulty line of reasoning. People will lie for many, many reasons that someone on the outside will never comprehend. |

That doesn't matter. Nothing along the lines of "well, it makes no sense for her to have lied about X because Y" matters when trying to prove a case. That is a horrible line of thought. I do believe she is lying, but it doesn't necessary mean she is actually being untruthful. That's just my opinion from having watched her fake-sounding testimony. It also doesn't mean Kavanaugh is innocent. She just has not done anything to prove he is guilty, which is the important part. |

| Topic | A little bit of logic with the Kavanaugh case. |
| nemu 10/01/18 4:05:35 PM #16 | In itself, it is not a reason to inherently disbelieve, but it does make her less credible in that there is little way of confirming anything at all. Personally, I don't believe her at all. She feels fake, and her inability to remember anything important is really telling. It could just be she was that traumatized about it, but if she claims that she can never forget the event itself, the little details should honestly be ingrained into her brain. |

| nemu 09/30/18 7:38:14 PM #14 | For some people, it's the result of religion being constantly pushed on them, so it develops into an identity to counteract that. Others are just being edgy. Others like the idea of debating against religion in a peaceful manner. |

| nemu 09/30/18 6:14:26 PM #7 | It won't end. Author will die before it ever gets near ending, unless he just decides to say "and so the adventure continued" randomly. But the current progression would be lining up a One Piece sized series of arcs that will never happen due to the constant breaks. If the guy just became the primary writer and hired another artist, it could probably just keep progressing. |

| Topic | Kavanaugh probably is a sex offender, but this witch hunt is dreadful. |
| nemu 09/30/18 9:42:31 AM #23 | I agree on the basic sentiment that we need to get away from this accusation = guilty mindset that a lot of people are developing. He's definitely going to carry this for the rest of his career, regardless of if he did it or not. Her story is ultra flimsy, but nobody seems to care because they're caught up in their own emotions. I'm undecided either way, but at the very least she is far from proving her case. |
| Topic | Choosing a game that's multiplat between Switch and PS4, which do you get for? |

She remembers nothing important about the event that can actually help determine anything. She has nobody who has been able to corroborate at very minimum that such a party with such people even took place. The only thing she has presented is the assault itself, despite remembering nearly no other details, and some stuff that happened in 2012 that proves nothing at all besides the fact that she didn't think of this story yesterday. Maybe the event happened and the trauma has left her unable to recall those details, but if so, then unfortunately that just means she will forever be unable to make him face justice. Words alone cannot and should not affect a person's life. |

I cannot say for sure, but what I can say is that no person should be believed with a flimsy story and no pertinent evidence. I don't understand why that is so hard for people to understand. No evidence = no crime, even if the crime happened. It's how our entire system works. |
