Whoopi Goldberg is an asshole. This is not a 'snap judgment' it's an accurate assessment of geek tragedy Jul 2015 #11

Isn't swearing to it under oath "proven guilty"?? LondonReign2 Jul 2015 #14

it's not 'proven guilty', but it is inculpable hearsay which is an exception HFRN Jul 2015 #78

Few Cosby posts on DU realFedUp Jul 2015 #16

And so now you have a lot of apologies to make. To all the folks who you have accused of stuff who stevenleser Jul 2015 #54

Stick with the BFEE, stevenleser. You say they're innocent until proven guilty. Octafish Jul 2015 #62

Giving quaaludes to someone and then having sex with them isn't illegal onenote Jul 2015 #56
