I choose GD only and not really LBN. Systematic Chaos Feb 2014 #1

GD but not LBN seems to make sense Scootaloo Feb 2014 #3

I've added that option. OmahaBlueDog Feb 2014 #4

Yes, some valid issues raised, BUT... edbermac Feb 2014 #2

All people need do is read the court finding BainsBane Feb 2014 #5

I think the real question I'm asking is whether this is a news story about an entertainer or... OmahaBlueDog Feb 2014 #8

This is about rape culture BainsBane Feb 2014 #11

I think there is a counter argument that this is just another story of a movie star gone bad OmahaBlueDog Feb 2014 #13

I disagree strongly BainsBane Feb 2014 #16

Rape culture, as in raping an ex's reputation out of revenge (for others who believe differently pacalo Feb 2014 #17

I'm not sure Woody' story isn't "embroidered." CTyankee Feb 2014 #21

Depends if the article conforms to the SOP of the forum. n/t Tx4obama Feb 2014 #6

SOP of GD says no showbiz topics OmahaBlueDog Feb 2014 #10

The GD SOP says '... unless there is really big news ... " Tx4obama Feb 2014 #12

Is this really big news? OmahaBlueDog Feb 2014 #14

Yes, sexual allegations against celebrities are really big news muriel_volestrangler Feb 2014 #19

If the case were being considered by a State's Attorney or a Grand Jury. sure OmahaBlueDog Feb 2014 #23

There are a lot of people who believe Dylan Farrow is telling the truth muriel_volestrangler Feb 2014 #24

As I said previously, the real question is whether this is news about an entertainer OmahaBlueDog Feb 2014 #26

True, Jackson was more famous - I thought of that later muriel_volestrangler Feb 2014 #28

I don't "keep asking"; I point out that this is the topic of the survey OmahaBlueDog Feb 2014 #29

I would have voted for 'enough already' had it been offered. Shrike47 Feb 2014 #7

Guns belonged in the Gungeon, and then became news after Newtown OmahaBlueDog Feb 2014 #9

Not LBN without additional developments. Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #18

I'm just answering the specific question in the OP. Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #30

Oh, I know that...it just seemed so trivial. If I posted in the wrong forum and was CTyankee Feb 2014 #31

I've noticed that discussions about external topics rapidly become all about DU & other DU members Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #33

Yes, I've noticed that, too. One particular group has a set of whiners and rather vicious CTyankee Feb 2014 #34

Yep, me too. Warren DeMontague Feb 2014 #35

The allegations are 20 yrs old. Hardly LBN. baldguy Feb 2014 #20

hardly just a "dysfunctional family" and you are misplacing blame here... CTyankee Feb 2014 #32

The problem is, of course, that there is no physical evidence to support Mia Farrows allegations. baldguy Feb 2014 #40

And you have proof of your allegations? CTyankee Feb 2014 #42

From Woody Allen's statement: baldguy Feb 2014 #43

Don't think this is LBN material cinnabonbon Feb 2014 #25

Why not? treestar Feb 2014 #27
