    Let me summarize what I was taught back in 5th grade, 1979/80 school year. If you're going to claim that its just your opinion, then you should preface whatever you're saying with "I believe...", "I feel...", "In my opinion...", etc. If you don’t, they you’re not stating something as an opinion, you’re stating it as a fact. If you don’t, then you’re stating them as if they’re stating them as if they are facts. Let me demonstrate:

    I believe the one of the biggest reasons that our society can’t resolve any of its dispute, especially political, is because it appears that this isn’t being taught anymore (and/or no one is listening to what their teachers are trying to teach them). Based on my personal experiences, human being (myself include) have a natural tendency to think they know more then they do on there favorite topics of interest. By making a point to state that I can’t actually prove what I believe to be true, I believe that it has great helped me overcome this natural human tendency so that I’m far more open to changing my views once contradictory facts that contradict presented to me.

    See how easy it is to state an opinion in a manner that makes it very clear that you realize that it’s just an opinion and not a fact?
    Do you not factor in the countless people who either don't care, automatically dismiss the cries of guilt, or somewhere in between? Are people not allowed to express their beliefs?

    I think it's a given when people say "so and so is this,/that," that it's their opinion. If I say PFM is the best QB of all time, you know it's an opinion.

    To apply what you're describing, it's far more pressing regarding defendants who don't have all-star lawyers, millions, and a ton of fans to counteract those who are predisposed towards finding guilt.

    The fact that you're doing this lecture regarding a guy who brought this upon himself with this video also dilutes a decent sentiment.

    I don't know how to post a tweet, but here's a link that has it: https://www.thedailybeast.com/kevin-...o-anthony-rapp

    "But if I did behave then in the manner he described, I owe him the sincerest apology for what would have been deeply inappropriate drunken behavior..."

    That falls well short of a guilty plea.

    And it's far more substantive than a " I didn't do it."

    If you want to take your opinion, which is a fine one that I admire, speak out regarding people who aren't well protected and rarely held accountable.

    Make it mean something.

    I'm fully aware of that many sex abuse victims suffer everything you just described, but is the solution to have open season on anyone who's accused. Are you old enough to remember the Duke Lacrosse team rape scandal from about 15 years ago? I'd be interested hearing a victim rights advocate from back then give an assessment of how much that rush to judgement debacle set back the cause of sexual abuse victims advocacy.

    I fully agree with you that its not fair that a persons ability to get away with murder is so greatly effect by how much he can pay for lawyers. I'm a firm believer that the rate that lawyers should be allowed to charge should be set by the courts, and that every lawyer should be required to charge that amount. So if the public defender that represents a mentally ill homeless individual on make $100,000 per year (I'm just making that figure up), so should the lawyer defending celebrities because I believe that our legal system should operate with absolute equality. I also realize that will never happen because even if such a law was past, who's better at finding loop holes in laws then lawyers.

    Obviously not. Even if he's found guilty you know Shane will spin it, as anyone he likes can do no wrong.

    Exactly, it’s hard to perceive how a person in their right mind (celebrity or otherwise) would do something like that. It makes him look like a sociopath in need of prison rules.

    I read sociopath as "scorpion," because I don't have my glasses on.

    I thought you were advocating for scorpion reform/reforming prisoners via scorpions.

    Something tells me Spacey will fully enjoy prison rules.

    Can you make this your sig? “ I am a scorpion in need of prison rules”

    So what’d Spacey do? Not a big follower of celebrity news.
