    Someone who alleges sexual assault...

    I always get myself in trouble when I talk about these subjects, so I'm not going to reply to anything anyone says on this thread. I'd just like to know what the overall opinion is about this topic in general so that I can tailor the way I talk about these matters to this particular message board better in the future. I'll just observe the votes and read any replies that may be posted, but will not respond.

    Okay, breaking my promise from the OP just once: I'm looking for where your gut instinct lies. Go with your gut.

    Stupid poll.

    Each and every such case needs to be evaluated individually for merit. You can't lump them all together and assume everyone is "probably" lying or "probably" telling the truth.

    Chris, don't go making sense. That wasn't one of the choices.

    I believe this thread will fail given the poor choices in the poll.

    I could be wrong but this looks like:
    1) I hate men.
    2) I really hate men.
    3) I really, really, really hate men.

    Maybe you should consider crafting a better poll.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Polly, if you can't deal rationally or honestly with this topic perhaps you should just leave it alone. Moreover, it's a topic that makes you even more obnoxious than usual.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Every case needs to be handled individually. To be sure, a lot of women are raped. Their are also a lot of men whose lives have been ruined because of a false charge that stuck.

    I think that is a good call.
