[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3060016, member: 5412"] It's not that way now. You only have to remember bits and pieces of an incident weeks or years later to get a person fired or publicly shamed. Evidence presented in a court of law now has gone by the wayside. We can publicly lynch anybody we want with a he said she said sort of evidence. The truth be damned, the spoken word on social media is now the truth in this country. I said it in another thread, but if you don't like a co-worker, just say that person touched you, and they are gone. No proof, only your word. We have reached a tipping point in the justice system in this country, and it hinges on this situation. The media continues to brag on these brave women and men that were harassed, like in case of Harvey Weinstein. Every one of those women that went to his hotel room knew the casting couch was in there, but they were more concerned with their "careers" and what he could do for them than saying hell no I won't do that. Once they reached the "star" status, they were "outraged". Then when one person speaks out, it's a mountain of women that come out with their own stories, not one of them had the ovaries to stand up before then because they were more concerned about their careers than doing what was right for themselves. They should be ashamed for not standing up in the first place. If it was wrong 10 years later, it was wrong at the time it took place. I refuse to be politically correct about this, and I'm sure I'm going to be excoriated for my opinion but I don't care. We need to get back to the rule of law where an accuser must have physical proof, or be ready to be sued for defamation of character. I'm not picking political sides on this either, and we have a post earlier that points out opinions, (not proof) that some men were sexually harassed by women, or men in the case of Kevin Spacey. If the glove doesn't fit.....you must acquit............ [/QUOTE]
