yeah, I’m well aware of the statistics you point out and I’m dubious of numbers that have no basis in reality (I’m an engineer). Where does 3-5% come from? are Not Guilty decisions counted? are accusations that don’t get prosecuted included? I’ve always wondered what constitutes a “false allagation”. But I digress.

I disagree that an accusation means he’s guilty because there “such few” false allegations. They exist. Not to the extent that MRA’s would have you believe, but they do in fact exist. And I would be lying if I said there isn’t some truly horrific gray area when 2 adults are alone together and really drunk at 4am.…

yes, because the important thing here is that fans can leverage a rape accusation to try and help their team win a hockey game.

I think anyone that states that they think Kane did or didn’t commit a crime sounds like a fool. We’ve had such little evidence presented (and what has been leaked has only made it more confusing) that picking a side and vilifying either side doesn’t make sense to me. Do I believe it’s well within the realm of…

they’re using zombies as standard click bait to get you to think about putting together a Go Bag for a real emergency. CDC did the same thing a few years back.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the Bears not getting a high draft pick. Even with Cutler, this team is outmatched by nearly every team in the league. they’re still on pace for the 3-4 wins I thought they would get, and the pick that wold accompany that.

“Faces in the Crowd” is the SI blurb you’re thinking of.

no, I do not believe that taking DNA swabs of the pelvic area in a rape investigation is scientific slut shaming. Your comment makes no sense.

Why not both?

they found no Kane DNA below her waist, only under her fingernails and and her shoulder. I don’t believe that proves anything one way or the other, but that is what was reported.

the mother definitely did, we’ve had no word on what (if anything) the accuser did.

I love the Sneeches more than is entirely healthy. Even the stupid jerks who had bellys with stars and not just the ones who had none upon thars!

WTF? It’s criminal to have left The Sneeches off the best list. I am personally offended and will be filing a Hulk Hogan-esque lawsuit on Gawker Media and Geoffrey Redick posthaste!

I love John Oliver, but he missed a great opportunity to talk about how the Cowboys managed to build a billion dollar stadium without public funds and make it the nicest stadium in the NFL on top of it. It can be done, it can be profitable for the owner.

yep. when I was in Istanbul, the bus driver asked where I was from and when I told him, he excitedly exclaimed, “Chicago Bulls! Chicago Bulls! Amir Asik is my guy!” which was a funny moment, but not enough to fund a stadium over.

I have triplets that turn 2 in less than a month. pray for me, for I do not know what I’m walking into.

While I agree on the sentiment of treating God Bless America like the national anthem, God Bless America is an objectively better song than the Star Spangled Banner.

TB was not significantly better. through game 5 these 2 teams were evenly matched in every conceivable category (shots, SOG, goals, CORSI, etc) except for time of possestion and faceoffs, both of which the hawks had the advantage.

so if the corsi is even and the hawks are leading in time of possetion, why would it be a shock if they win the series?

Spoiler alert! it’s not illegal to cross sticks with another player.
