Japanese companies did file suit against GE for improper design of control systems but it was operator error all the way.

You got to be able to live with the truth.


Sure, okay, let's say you have a friend who has been married 7 years, has two kids, and one on the way. Seems pretty happy.

You find out absolutely positively that his wife had a 4 month sordid affair in that first year of marriage; that she ended up really regretting as a mistake broke it off, and he never learned about it. As far as you know, nothing happened since.

You gonna go do him a favor and let him know?
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Everything else normal? Are they happy? I'm not saying anything. If she is a good woman, just like a good man, she will punish herself plenty. No need for me sticking my fat head in there.

He preyed on kids as a 30 year old man. He didn't go as far to rape any of them but he did try to coerce them into sex. He did physically assault one violently, but didn't rape her, and let her go.

Looking bad for Roy Moore
A Woman just went on national TV and said she was hit on by the pervert when she was just 14
14
WTF
What a perv

I wouldn’t exactly call it a date. I would say it was a meet. At 14 I was not dating. At 14, I was not able to make those kind of choices,” she said.
Corfman said the second time she went to Moore’s house, he laid out blankets on his living room floor and “proceeded to, um, seduce me, I guess you would say.” He removed most of her clothing, left the room and then returned wearing only in his "white underwear."
“He touched me over my clothing, what was left of it, and he tried to get me to touch him as well,” she recalled.
Corfman said she pulled back, frightened, and had Moore take her back home.
“I was a 14-year-old child trying to playing in an adult’s world, and he was 32 years old,” she said.
At the time, she didn’t realize she had been molested because “it wasn’t part of my vocabulary.”
“I had been reading Harlequin romances for years. I was expecting candlelight and roses, what I got was very different,” she said.
Corfman said she immediately told two of her friends, and then a third. All of them told her what Moore did was inappropriate.
“We weren’t prepared for that,” she said. “When he called again, I didn’t go. I made an excuse and I didn’t go.”

Can't disagree with you...... Franken will have to withstand a Senate ethics investigation, which will probably end up with just making him apologize again.
Moore will have to withstand a vote by the good people of Alabama, who will likely give him the boot. Trump will face the American people in 3 years if he chooses to test them again....

I've thought of that. A woman who has patted me on the butt gets a quizzical look from me, not a news story followed by a lawsuit followed by me trying to ruin her career.

So, Ed, if a woman kisses Robin Williams its ok for Al Franken to grab her? Is that what you are trying to say?
