As the father of a daughter I agree that inappropriate sexual behaviour by men has to be reined in and called out, but when we remove a top general from an important post because he flashed his weewee to someone 32 years ago I think we’ve gone over the edge
what should the statute of limitations be ? And what sort of severity index should be followed ? ie, a flash shouldn’t (imho) be punished with the same severity of unwanted contact or assault
Important questions
My personal opinion is that there are heavy politics running in the background and skeletons are coming out of the closest to punish those who do not embrace the narrative. The media is the strong arm and agent for this group of people. Assassinate characters with biased public opinions.
If we all reflect back on our lives there have been some embarrassing moments that we all wish never happened but like you said, there should be a statute of limitation especially if it can tank a career. The punishment does not fit the crime.
Winner,winner,chicken dinner!! This is all politics,pure and simple. Someone saw Fortin getting too powerful and had to dig deep to discredit him. Legislation is needed tp prevent this crap. Liable and slander laws need to be beefed up,so,scurillous accusers can be sued into oblivion for false accusations with criminal charges with lengthy prison sentences included being automatic as part of the process. This BS has to be stopped cold in it's tracks.Quote:

Some man flashes and acts inappropriately with your daughter. She is so scared that she does not come out with the information for 32 years. Are you ok with nothing happening to that man?Quote:

just a tool to discredit politicians or ppl in power.
if its a trend, it becomes obvious fast, like bill cosby ..
doesnt always have to be about sex though. Rob Ford[RIP] comes to mind ...
was he flashing ppl in subway station ? or at a pool party ? if just a dumb teenage action in a prty, then we have the PM's colored face pic to deal with first ... lol
So why not wait for the investigation to come out.Quote:

She would not go out of the buildings alone for the rest of the year, changed her quite a bit, messed her up for a little while, not insignificant and you cannot judge unless you were there.
X2-having a statue of limitations actually encourages coming forward with an issue, and false accusations should be dealt with promptly .Quote:

I haven’t seen anything about this. Assume it’s not Vance. Flashing people 3 decades ago was wrong. Then and now.
The question is, is it the kind of thing that warrants ruining someone’s life today.
Me, I don’t “think” so, not if it was a simple flash 30 years ago. Raise your hand if you’ve mooned someone. ...But details are scarce. And this is a new era, where cancel culture is very real.
This trend and similar trends, mostly effecting ones they are to be"x-ed'or "put aside"for whatever "mighty"reasons- slowly becoming a whip-stay in the line,and no harm shall happen to you .
With some exceptions,where there is no Political gain from x-ing someone,-or where someone doing same or similar conduct(and gets away with it)-this is the message we are seeing.
I have a problem when someone waits 32 years to accuse someone of doing something to them - heck what's to stop someone of just accusing you of something 50 years ago and it ain't true - women need to speak up if something happened and right away - not wait - and the issue needs to be addressed right away - it is getting so that guys need to be very careful around women because they can falsely accuse you of something just to get even and people are so in a hurry to believe them - the moral to this story is don't do something stupid that you will regret years later - live a good, clean and moral life
That's my motto! :D:D:DQuote:
