I hope the walls crumble and that forsaken sign is removed and burned.

These things happened in all walks of life like in business, Religion, politics, sports and so forth. We have young pretty female teachers get into trouble with horny teenage boys who would like to bang their teachers. We even have teenage girls that would like to get into male teacher's pants as well.

But, when you have people forcing themselves on others like boys, girls, men and women, young and old, race and so forth. It is not okay.

It is not okay to get someone drunk or wasted on drugs to have sex with them when they can not say no is wrong. That is why you have football players booted from the team like in Steubenville high school and Minnesota Golden Gophers.

Agree. Again, it's the prevalence and pervasiveness of this behavior over decades within Hollywood that makes this an acute "cancer" that needs removed. The special investigative task force mentioned in another thread is a step in the right direction. Put these predators and pedos on notice that this will not be tolerated. Treat people with respect and not as a piece of meat.

I despise Takei, but there was no attack. It is horseshit.

How could you possibly know that for a fact? I don't know if there was or wasn't, but I am sure open that it could have happened unless there is proof the accuser is lying.

I'm consistent. I can't believe it when a lefty is being accused and disbelieve it when a GOP politician is being accused with the same lack of evidence. And frankly, as the father of a son, I hate all of this. I don't want a society where he can be ostracized just because he is successful and some bimbo wants her 15 minutes of fame. At some point politics go out the window and parenting kicks in.

Agreed, Ever...

Do I believe this happened with Takei? Nope..

But as we all discussed on that infamous Takei podcast, George has some strange beliefs when it comes to what counts as adult-child relationships..

Let's face it: everyone is guilty until proven innocent.

That even goes for libs.



Or we can choose the correct path. But it has to be consistent across the board.

The process is the punishment, regardless of the verdict, the outcome, or, unfortunately, the truth.

Looks like George Takei's defense boils down to Locker Room Talk. Interesting.

If he wants to appear sincere, he should apologize to Trump.
