No, they don’t know it. That’s the thing with simpletons. They are too simple to realize that they are simpletons. Sad, really.

From everything I’ve been hearing about it, Go Set A Watchman seems, more than anything else, to lend credence to that old rumor that Truman Capote helped more than a little bit on Mockingbird.

It has been talked about. In fact, the author of the very article in question wrote another article about Loretta Young on a movie history website that tittered about her illegitimate child, and called her out for being a hypocrite and not living by the values she supposedly espoused. This was just a few years ago. I…

I've read GWTW several times. And seen the movie countless times. When I was a young girl, I wanted to be Melanie. As I grew up, I wanted to be Scarlett. Funny how our ideas of how life should be lived changes as we grow up.

I have to disagree with you there. I have a friend who was raped, twice, by strangers, once in her home, and once in the street. I cannot begin to compare the pain and fear for her life that she experienced on those occasions to the experience that I had one night on what I consider to be a very bad date. I was…

Actually, it doesn’t. I just shared this movie with my daughter a few weeks ago, so it is freshly in my mind. The grieving father makes a point of stating that “she kept her honor,” but that “she will never be beautiful again.” Because that’s what you were supposed to do back then. Allow yourself to be beaten to a…

The victim did not even understand the concept of date rape until a few months before she died, so she was in no position to accuse anyone of it. She also wanted to protect her daughter, by not revealing to the world that she was the product of a rape. Now that all three parties are dead, I suppose the Lewises felt…

I may be wrong, but I believe Loretta Young, saying to her son and daughter-in-law, “That’s what Clark Gable did to me!” after having the concept of date rape explained to her is in fact an accusation from the alleged victim. The fact that you were not there to hear it does not mean the accusation was never made. The…

I think you’re quite right. I think that’s also why parents, particularly fathers, were so careful about who they let their daughters be alone with. We laugh at that scene in “The Godfather” where Michael goes on his first walk with Appollonia and the whole family tags along, but I think there were reasons for such…

Yeah, let's just wait for them to be resurrected so this can be tried in a court of law! Innocent until proven guilty, right, Whoopi?

Worse, I think we’re meant to believe that Scarlett deserved it, for continuing to love Ashley and for denying Rhett his “marital rights.” Of course, Rhett’s continued affair with Belle Watling is considered Scarlett’s just desserts, as well. Ugh. Just ugh. The whole thing is nauseating, by today’s standards - the…

Oh, you know they've all got it running on a loop in the office.

Gotta keep both hands on the wheel. For safety, of course.

I dunno, maybe I dated a lot of pervs, but it seemed to me like one of men’s biggest fantasies. I got a lot of requests. And though of course I wouldn’t want to die with a dick in my mouth, I also gotta wonder about the guys. Didn’t any of them read “The World According to Garp”?

I agree. Somehow, Raven doesn’t seem as obnoxious about this as Whoopi does. First, she’s not as strong in her disbelief, and second, she actually does have a reason to be loyal to Bill Cosby, misguided though that loyalty might be. It’s got to feel strange to her, that this man who gave her everything was so horrible…

So what’s Whoopi Goldberg’s excuse? Even Raven-Simone has backed off a bit, but Whoopi’s still out there, defending Bill. Camille at least has a financial motive, but what’s Whoopi’s motive? Is she just that stupid?

It's sad that the fullest extent of the law is, at this point, NOT AT ALL. Because the statute of limitations has run out on all of these cases. I'd like to see some of these defamation cases go. But unfortunately, all those cases can do is take money from him, not his freedom. Unless someone comes forward who has…

Make that THREE other daughters. That woman had five of this vile man’s children. I have to wonder if he just kept raping her, and that's why she had so many. Five is a lot of children for one woman to have, in this day and age.

Don’t think Bill ever raped anybody. He didn't need drugs for his conquests; his charm and charisma were enough. As far as his cheating on Hillary, that's between them. I have no problem with Bill cheating on Camille. It's the druggy-rapey thing that is so horrifying.

Ew. Just ew. On the submission thing. And the public gloating over being able to fuck her anywhere and anytime. I would have cut his dick off in his sleep.
