The fact that it was decades ago and there is no DNA or video evidence should matter. If these women waited decades to make the accusations is ridiculous and it makes you think maybe it was consential. They consented to take the drugs right? He was intoxicated to and she consented to have sex even if under the influence.There seemed to be an awful lot of smoke around Cosby for there not to have been a fire. I hate to think that he did this sort of thing, but he came from a different time when powerful men could get away with pretty much whatever they wanted to. Otherwise I would say that the thing that upsets me most about it is that he would be stupid enough to do this stuff.
I've been around a long time, and can't imagine for one minute how anyone could say that Bill Cosby was not the greatest stand up comedian who ever lived. Yet I've looked on a lot of lists on the internet, and he is usually only somewhere in the top ten, if he's included at all. It seems like a lot of people are saying that his actions have tainted his career, so that you can't list him as number one, and maybe shouldn't list him at all. That sounds a little like rewriting history to me though. Everyone of a certain age was familiar with Cosby's comedy albums from the '60s.
I've seen Jerry Seinfeld on TV arguing that you should be able to separate the actions from the act, but others have disagreed with him. Seinfeld was in awe that Cosby could go on stage and do a two hour standup routine, when it was a herculean effort for Jerry to put together one hour of material.
People seem to have given Cosby's crown to Richard Pryor, an obviously talented comedian in his own right. But I don't believe he or anyone else equalled or surpassed Cosby, and Cosby was able to do it clean. Now he'll probably spend the rest of his life in prison. It's a sad day for me.
This is ridiculous. She shouldnt have put herself in the situation to begin with. This sets the precedent for a slippery slope. Same as when college students are equally drunk and both consent to sex, but the male is labeled a rapist.
