Is it not possible for a man to be a wise and powerful person integral to our nation's history while also having deep character flaws as a person? I am very intrigued by our desire for our heroes to be perfect. I guess what I would say is: My heroes don't need to be perfect, but maybe they could do better than drugging women to rape them or mistreating slaves (the phrase 'mistreating slaves' is just cringeworthy) ? I'm not really in a position to judge others harshly on screwing up; I have a laundry list of screwups of my own. But what Cosby did (allegedly) goes well beyond screw up, and into a really dark and nasty place. It doesn't get much worse than rape. Raping children would be worse. Being a murderer would be worse. I'm sure there are others. It's a short list. (I do understand what you're saying though, and I agree we tend to require them to be perfect and I don't think that is fair) Edited June 20, 2017 by tshile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is possible for him to be a gifted comedian and have dark demons, but I think you lose your standing to preach morality when you're engaging in immoral behavior. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilandil Tasardur Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Good points guys. I definitely think: He's probably guilty. He's a filthy deplorable (insert insult of choice) who should be in prison. He loses any stance to discuss morality based on this behavior. I'm curious though if he has to be scrubbed from history? Should we not air the shoes episodes? Should we stop watching the comedy? I find the issue strange in a curious way. People want to rename Margaret Court arena for her comments on gay marriage. But the arena wasn't named in her honor for her political views. It was named in her honor for what she did on the tennis court, which doesn't change just because she turned into a bigoted old person.

China Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Bill Cosby to Teach Youth How to Avoid Sexual Assault Accusations Bill Cosby wants to spread the word to young people about sexual assault ... and how to avoid being accused of it. Cosby's spokespeople, Andrew Wyatt and Ebonee Benson, told "Good Day Alabama" Wednesday the comedian is planning a series of town halls this summer to educate young people about sexual assault. More specifically, they say he's planning on teaching 'em how to look out for warning signs from potential victims and handle accusations that could follow.

DM72 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I have a hard time believing this story. Despite what he allegedly did, Bill Cosby is too smart to do something this stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's not going to be able to wait out the appeals process. Though I'm pretty sure there are bunch of appealable issues here based on what was allowed as testimony.

It's called self-control and respect for another's desire to not engage any further in said act. Rape is not a THEME, it's RAPE. I'm sorry, can you take a moment to clarify that for us.
