  25.  @trh-bee4383  This thing started out when you said that a person would be refused medical aid if they didn't follow the guidelines set out by the government. I laid out a case against it. I'll say one more thing. Since when is the government the arbiter of all things right and wrong? Every war, genocide, forced labour, overt bigoted actions and suppression of freedom has been initiated, sanctioned or violently supported by governments. It's the main theme of human history. How did they do it? They did it by promising special benefits to certain segments of their societies. A little more land. Better food allotments, better access to fuel, little things, seemingly but essential for the survival of the average citizen. Men would join the militias just to get regular meals. YOU, are supporting the same kind of government pressure. "Do as I say or face the consequences." Loss of job. Loss of social contact through social marginalisation. Loss of medical assistance. Where's it coming from? Our government. With the history of abuse and human misery left by governments, throughout history, I'm astounded that anyone would still support their edicts. Yet they do. They do it through fear. "Do as we say or you shall surely die". That's the very heart of your argument. FEAR....so total that you'll allow them to do as they will and threaten us by any means necessary. I'm a grown man. I'd rather leave my safety in my own hands than is some strangers, who lives on a hill, in a distant capital city. I'm either their equal or I'm not and when they FORCE me to do things, against my will, I'm NOT their equal.

  44. JuliaJustBeauty That doesn't fly, especially now. These girls will get support from those, like you, who take the stance that there is no way a girl would make up an allegation like this. There could be psychological rewards in making these accusations as well, a sort of Munchausen syndrome, where the attention is the priority over the reality. There are segments of society that laud the courage and bravery of those who stand up and tell their story. Manipulative individuals can use this to their advantage to coerce women to make allegations that aren't true with a promise of social approval from that segment of society. Why do people, with the full realisation that they'd be open to ridicule, start to advocate for a flat earth? There are facets of the human psyche that don't fall under the norm and those things have to be considered when claims of any kind are made. In this interview, thus far, Brown has been quite convincing and unless he's bluffing outrageously, he's going to come out vindicated. If a woman has been physically assaulted, by all means, come out and confront the accuser. However, if Brown is vindicated, then the witch hunt allegations will also be vindicated and the women will legitimate complaints will be in no better position than they were 30 years ago. No reasonable person should want that. That CTV reporter, I can't remember her name, should have made sure those sources were impeccable and beyond reproach. If Brown has witnesses that she has used in her story that contradict her story, then her career is in trouble. I'm not sure she did her due diligence at best and might even be guilty of orchestrating a scandal that didn't exist, at worst.
