Lots of this makes me wonder.
But Laurie hit the nail on the head. And the fact is we have accusations. Very old accusations. Lets at least let it play out to see what does and does not even need forgiving.

Just trying to sort this out here. What are some of you saying?
Is sit OK if he did these things because it was a long time ago? or Is it OK because he is Bill Cosby? or Is it that we are not sure because we do not know the facts? This last statement seems like the only logical one. If he is guilty of these things he deserves what he gets. If he is innocent it is a shame because there will always be a cloud because of the allegations. However with his wealth I do not feel we should feel that badly for him. The only thought that comes to mind is the murder of his son. This is reaching...but could there be any connection..
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

I think aces was asking whether some feel empathetic toward Bill because his son was killed, balducci.

Do you believe forgiveness is available if there is no contrition?

No. There are some acts for which you personally can not forgive another. Not all human beings.

It's a simple truth and if people started to acknowledge that human beings are highly fallible (if you'd like to consider it as such- we could just acknowledge that human beings don't know it all, afterall, and learn as they go, just like everyone else on the planet) and all is forgivable, I believe we'd be living a much more peaceful existence, despite all the proclamations to the contrary. The displays of ego and arrogance and hypocrisy performed by those who proclaim another is unforgivable/unworthy are the very roots of the perpetuation of violence in our society, I suggest. When you get down to it, it is really quite simple. The guy can be forgiven. Some factions of the human population, for some reason seem to think it demonstrates a sort of intellectual superiority by complicating, thus attempting to obscure the truth with Bullsh!t. Clear? Case in point. Bullsh!t summed it up succinctly and you all pressured for complexity... next you'll say I confused you. You confuse yourselves, I say. No matter how "fallible" human beings are, multiple counts of drugged rape is not something I can say; "Oh well, he did something terrible but who am I to judge him?"

Some factions of the human population, for some reason seem to think it demonstrates a sort of intellectual superiority by complicating, thus attempting to obscure the truth with Bullsh!t. ......again, what does this even mean? From the evidence so far, he was a serial predatory rapist. If you cannot condemn him for allegations, there is no need for forgiveness from allegations. However, if this all proves to be true (and with 22-and-counting who's to doubt?) he actually is a serial predatory rapist. He didn't go the regular socially acceptable male route of Booze, Schmooze & Cooze, he just drugged and raped. What's to forgive here? Much to condemn, little to forgive. Was he so important, so pressed for time he couldn't waste Schmooze Time? It's not a question of US forgiving him on a personal level, that is up to the victims only. WE can only let him off the hook, in our own minds. Sorry, not me. IF, that is, proof is forthcoming. Someone with so little regard for the damaging of others' lives for the sake of a little Kootchy Time doesn't get him off the hook in my book. Ask his victims how much your forgiveness of him helps their lives. It only helps yours, and THAT's an ego stroke in its own right. He doesn't get off the hook. And if it is all smoke and fake reports, IF he is indeed innocent, we are left with a man of great accomplishments tarnished by false accusations. I'd rather have this than the other. The other is evil. BTW...weren't some of his accusers underage when they were (supposedly) drugged and raped? Once again, we must separate the good men do from the evil they do. Both stand on their own, both have their own burdens. Forgiveness is not germane here.

The big boys who own show business, they authorise the contracts and they like to have the stars in their pocket and so they tend to give the contracts to people they have something on. Thus one finds stars tend to have dark side. Politics is show business for ugly people and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_LQlWh8AT0
