Goes both ways. It is hard to know, true. As a result there are issues of rapes being unprovable and men getting away with them, and men being falsely accused of rape unable to clear their name in the public's eye.

I'm speaking in the legal sense in one part of the sentence and a more absolute sense in the other. One may get too drunk to legally consent to sex, but does not change their ability to voluntarily do anything. Volition is merely choosing something for yourself. That doesn't necessarily mean that the alcohol in their system isn't influencing that choice, just that no one is forcing them into it. They may not legally consent, but they may still have voluntary sex.

I was talking about the distinction you had made previously of person X being unknowningly drugged and having unconscious, non-consented sex, vs person Y getting blackout-drunk and having unconscious, non-consented sex. I agree that some people will show clear intent and desire to engage in sexual acts while drunk and then turn around and cry rape when it becomes embarrassing; see that one Ohio(?) campus "rape" where it was later revealed in video that she was on top of the dude and grinding him.

That's possible, sure. But it's literally unprecedented. There has never, in the history of time, been 15+ people who have come out and accused a celebrity of rape, brought a civil suit against that celebrity and been paid off by that celebrity to dismiss the charges without having to go to court. That happened to Cosby in 2004. And now there are even more alleged victims coming forward, all with identical stories about being drugged. So, yes, you can suppose that it might be a jilted ex-lover or someone who regretted their actions 40+ years ago. But if there was really this cabal of women just waiting in the wings to accuse celebrities of crimes they'd never committed, why have we NEVER seen this volume of identical rape complaints for a celebrity before? It seems incredibly unlikely that a completely random cross-section of women with absolutely no financial gain at stake would all decide to accuse a celebrity who hasn't done anything of note in 20 years of drugging and raping them decades ago for... I actually have no idea what motivation you'd insert here for them. You're right, we don't know the truth, but for someone who knows just as much as the rest of us, you're defending him awfully hard and with logic no better than "there's a war on men" (which is an absurd claim and not worthy of rebuttal, frankly).

18 women make identical claims? They're all liars who knew what was coming. One man refuses to answer the allegations and tries to buy silence? He seems like a stand up guy, better give him the benefit of the doubt.
 
A total of nineteen woman have now come forward accusing Bill Cosby of sexual assault.

I believe in the concept of innocence until proving guilt, however the legal burden of proof has become extremely strong. Here's the most comprehensive article written on this subject to date....

i used to watch a bit of the cosby show back when i was young, because Denise+hormones, and when he did that zippety-zubzub talk stuff i genuinely thought he was retarded.
 
This situation pretty much sums up the expression"putting your foot in your own mouth'",i am doubting Bill Cosby is with the times cause if the internetz pretty much gets anything on you then there is no mercy.

Geez i still think there is the occasional MJ molestation meme or some random video and he has been dead for a while unless your a conspiracy nut thinking he is still here in hiding.
 
Breaking news - yet another accuser, as Brian Williams came forth today to claim Cosby did bad things to him with a Jello pudding pop.
