He's 77. Maybe he won't live much longer. Then it becomes a moot point since these women's goal has been to prevent him from playing a father figure again. I LOVE that The Tonight Show cancelled his scheduled appearance.

This isn't gambling. This needs proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Because date rape leaves oh-so much in the way of hard physical evidence. . What is this, CSI: Miami? 16 women have come forward, sharing similar stories about how they were drugged and raped. That's a lot of smoke.

Yes, but the fire probably wasn't caused by rape, as far as I'm concerned. What country do you live in where white women are scared to accuse a black man of raping them for fear that no one would take them seriously...in 1969 at that? It can't be America.

Is it so unfair to require something substantial before you hang a man for doing something you aren't even sure he did?

I have been reading and not responding to this argument regarding Bill Cosby and I prefer to let the legal system sort through this mess.

On the other hand-Mega Man, could you please refrain with the white women vs black man scenario?
From all that I've read both black and white women are raped and both black and white men do the raping.
I really do not think this is a black vs white issue. Or a white vs black issue.

The racial component goes flying out the window when talking about celebrities. Signed, OJ Simpson.

16 accusers is already substantial, but if you want to cling to the belief that he's innocent because we have no video of him actually raping anyone, knock yourself out.

OJ Simpson was charged, tried, and acquitted. Cosby hasn't even been charged. Race would not have been an issue in 1969, before Cosby was the man he is today? Keep telling yourself that. Plenty of famous individuals have had to take responsibility for their wrongdoings.

I could gather 15 different women and tell them to claim the same man raped them. But that man wouldn't be charged because mere claims are not substantial.

continue being combative as that only means we won't see you around here much longer.
