Unbelievably funny:
I guess:

ON MSNBC, Susan Filen, the legal analyst referring to the DNA evidence in the Duke Rape case, was talking about semen found in the victim and said that this is what the prosecution was 'wading through'.

10. Yes you are...
and there isn't.

I was commenting on the media, and the ALLEGED rape. I personally don't find anything funny about possibly falsely accusing young men of rape.

13. or possibly these young men MAY be guilty.
and too many falsely accusing the victim of lieing.

at least we agree on something. Rape isn't funny. Wads of it isn't either.

no matter how this particular case turns out, attitudes have been outed on this forum.
