More important things... yikes. Gives you a pretty good idea of what he thinks about women, right?

"I love the man. I support you, Bill. We're praying for you... aren't there more important things to talk about in this world?"

Apparently Ben Vereen's stance is that as long as terrible things are happening elsewhere, we should't prosecute crime at home. Nice.

No problem! I actually read that on an article here on Jezebel.

Ben Vereen's hat clearly identifies him as Mayor of Crazytown, so it follows that he would be Cosby's most vocal supporter.

Thanks for the reply. Definitely didn't hear that anywhere.

Yes. Cosby told her to lie and say she was 19, if anyone asked. Given his fame, his friendship with Hefner, and the year, it's not like there would be someone checking the ID of his guest.

Has anyone explained why a 15 year old was at the mansion in the first place? This is not an angry WTF question, I'm genuinely interested to know if it's been explained.

When Hugh Hefner is more progressive than you, it's time to take a long hard look in the mirror.

Whoa. Ben Veeren NO. Such Disappoint. Zoobilee Zoo is now forever unclean.

Indian Cabs specially in large cities like Delhi have GPS installed on them. Many Cab companies here give the option to track your cab and also send out SMS alert to a cell number of your choice with updates of your journey. The problem with Uber in India is unlike other Cab companies that they use the GPS of the…

I had a cab driver verbally abuse me for being homosexual. He told me that two women cannot have children biologically and that is why lesbians do not exist. He told me that if I decided to have a child with my "friend" (man, homophobes LOVE calling partners/spouses/etc "friends") that the state should and will take…

Wow, didn't take long at all to start blaming the victim. Good show.

You are simply WRONG. Almost all Indian cabs are REQUIRED by law to have GPS tracking devices. All cab companies (rickshaws don't qualify as cabs) are required to vet their drivers and submit their details to the police BEFORE they hire them. All cab companies keep constant track of their cabs through cell phone and…

As I have said elsewhere, you can still complain the way people did before such things existed, by noting the number on the cab, which is painted in several different locations. And the driver's hack license is (or should be) prominently displayed, and it is designed to be large enough to be read from the back seat.…

Why would you assume I'm the instigator here? I don't really get the question.

Yes, I already acknowledged a western bias. The liability issue remains the same.

Granted, I am indeed thinking of here in the US. However, the point about legal liability stands. The entire business model of these "sharing economy" startups is based on putting the risk on everyone but themselves.

Cabs have mobile data terminals and GPS in them these days. You can easily complain to their dispatch,

Cabs have mobile data terminals and GPS in them these days. You can easily complain to their dispatch, especially if you get the cab number, and they will know which driver it was. You can roll your eyes and say they won't care, but I drove a cab for years, and it simply isn't true. And unlike Uber, cab companies are…
