> [@Belowjob2.0](#): > > Yeah, they’re all liars. Every single one of them. > [@kstarnes](#): > > No, not every single one of them… Interesting. Since so many people in this thread are discussing your views in such a derogatory way, I’m curious which one of the women accusers you feel are not lying. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > Duh. The ones who agree with him. There are women accusers in the Bill Cosby case who agree with him? 😕 I think **kstarnes** just noted that not all of the women accusers in the Bill Cosby case are liars. I am wondering which women accusers he feels are not lying. ---

My mistake. I thought the question was about which women in this thread does he not think of as liars. I _could_ back and re-read to double check, I suppose, but I don’t feel like giving him that much attention. ---

**kstarnes** was saying not all women are liars. Note that he was responding to a post which was part of a conversation which had spread out to discuss not just the accusers, but other women as well, for example Joan Collins. ---

> [@Frylock](#): > > **kstarnes** was saying not all women are liars. Note that he was responding to a post which was part of a conversation which had spread out to discuss not just the accusers, but other women as well, for example Joan Collins. Maybe. But in the context of this thread, Joan Collins was brought up as a rape accuser, just not a Bill Cosby rape accuser. **Belowjob2.0** first referenced “all” with **kstarnes** responding. I think **Belowjob2.0** meant all rape accusers. **kstarnes** might be doing the same. ---

> [@DigitalC](#): > > I don’t like Cosby in the first place, and i tend not to think of him. But i’m not going to think of him as “the rapist Bill Cosby” if he hasn’t been convicted of rape. I’m just curious about this standard. Does that mean you don’t think of “The murderer O.J. Simpson” since, according to your standard, he isn’t a murderer because he was acquitted in a court of law? ---

Shit Cosby still had LUDES in 2005?! Probably could have made a fortune selling them, my sister claimed she took a lude once in the 70s and I said what was it like and she said she was so drunk she doesn’t remember(drunk before taking it). Those things are like the Mew of the drug world. ---

All we need now is evidence that Cosby slipped the 'ludes to the women, who unknowingly ingested them, and some actual evidence of assault, and we got a court case. Or will, I guess, if the statute of limitations hasn’t run out. ---

Or will, I guess, if the statute of limitations hasn’t run out. You mean, besides the fact that multiple independent women have made that claim, and the court case itself was about that claim? And that Cosby paid off rather than fight that case, despite having the celebrity cachet that should have gotten him off? And, yes, the statute of limitations has run out. That’s the whole problem. Same with why the Duggars were crucified in the media. ---
