There are a lot of people with skeletons in the closet. This whole thing could tear our country apart if everyone starts blaming everyone going back fifty years. Alcohol tends to distort inhibitions, so do some meds. Women probably have a lot of stories to tell about things in their past. I know some girls that were pretty wild, hanging out with the bad boys. They learned not to go with that kind of guy, there was no future. So they changed and settled down with a decent guy who asked no questions about her past. And they had kids and grandkids and had a good life. Why would someone want to start opening up their past and get stressed out. Sometimes bad things set the stage for good things to happen.
I can see adressing rapes and stuff like that and calling in the police right away, but you can't start getting obsessed with the things that went bad in your life, focus on the good and lessen your risk of bad things ever happening again. Otherwise you will go nuts and live a life full of negativity. Why do people want to open up old wounds and start stressing themselves out again.
I am not saying I approve of a person raping people or grabbing at someone's butt but I am saying dwelling on it and allowing it to ruin your life is not right either. Letting that happen makes it much worse. I have never had anything like that happen so I cannot truely comprehend it. But if I had, I would bury it and look at the good out there. I have known some women who always set their target on the bad boys, I can't understand why they would want to torture themselves so bad. Some of the most popular guys were jerks, I couldn't understand why any girl would go out with them.
Except if Spacey is still in a rapey mood, this could stop him preying on other youngin's in 2017.
Yeah, I can see him needing to go to jail. I think this should have been taken care of years ago by someone. I am more talking about skeletons in the closet referring to victims letting this stuff ruin their life.
I was giving kids rides on my farm tractor years ago at my daughters birthday party., they were the kids of good friends. I let them steer and shift and raise and lower the loader. A good friend of mine mentioned that I should not have them sit in my lap, it never even dawned on me that teaching kids to drive a tractor could be construed as being a pedophile. I thought about it and never gave any more kids rides, other than some of my grandkids after that. I could not comprehend that someone could take that as being child molesting, my dad taught us kids how to drive the tractor that way and also a few of my cousins. He was not interested in kids at all that way, neither was I. I am glad my friend actually informed me about that, I had no clue it was inappropriate to do that. I taught my daughter to drive sitting in my lap when she was young, maybe six years old. I figured I should teach her the basics in case I got hurt or had some sort of heart attack when we were out fishing or picking berries. There were no cell phones back then.
I look at some of this stuff and understand how families have no connection anymore. Someone seeing someone teaching their kid to drive a riding mower might get the cops called on them.

Netflix cancelled House of Cards. Way to go Spacey. You put yourself and others out of work.

I'm not letting Spacey off the hook at all (so please don't misinterpret), but why was a 14 year old at a party like this without a chaperone?

But it doesn't matter, does it? Maybe he was a runaway, or there without permission, or somebody was supposed to be keeping an eye on him. But it doesn't matter. Only Spacey has responsibility for this. When you are that age you can't give consent, so even if he gave consent, he didn't because he couldn't.

Why did I bother saying that I was not letting Spacey off the hook if the FIRST person who responds to me responds as if I am.
I repeat: Spacey is responsible for his actions.
And I repeat my question: Why was a 14 year old at this party without a parent or chaperone.
I am suggesting that he was let down by other people as well.

Well, yeah. I got that. And I thought I tried to answer your question, smarty pants. Ya know the part I posted about the runaway, there without permission, blah blah. That was "answering your question". I mean, seriously, who knows?
I even left you a beer to demonstrate I got it.

You'll get no further annoying comments from me. I'm sitting at my desk dressed as a black cat and I look very, very cute. I even have on my skeleton-glow-in-the-dark earrings. No grouchy pants gonna get me in a bad mood.
Meow.

Well that sounds way better that the stuff we were discussing.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed that they are investigating an alleged assault on a man from 2008.
[Production shutdown] comes after a number of allegations, including CNN reporting that Spacey made the set of Netflix's House of Cards into a "toxic" work environment through a pattern of sexual harassment.
It said allegations were made by eight people who currently work on the show, or worked on it in the past, with one former employee alleging the actor sexually assaulted him.
