Admitted rapist ... belongs in prison
American justice is great, but it exists only on TV, like health care, education and all the rest.
American exceptionalism ... justice, except for the rich and famous.
He never admitted rape. That's just part of the usual fake news.
shareI does amaze me how many people keep repeating this false statement. I ask myself 'did ANYONE actually follow this case?'
sharePerhaps you can share something demonstrating that he admitted to raping someone?
shareI was agreeing with Kukuxu. I get annoyed when people keep saying he admitted rape when he never said anything of the sort.
shareThen I suppose we all agree. I've seen nothing that indicates he ever admitted to any wrongdoing.
shareYou're scum.

"In his testimony, Cosby admitted to casual sex involving recreational use of the sedative-hypnotic methaqualone (Quaaludes) with a series of young women, and he acknowledged that his dispensing the prescription drug was illegal.[13][14][15]"

Quaaludes were the party drug of the 70s and 80s. women wanted them and men got them. sorry; "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" was a real thing. He admitting obtaining them for this purpose; he didn't admit to raping them; he claims in was consensual. The women changed their story 30 years after the fact. All of those quotes you posted could be from any dozen of celebrities of that time.
And just to add; whether or not he actually did do it or not doesn't change the fact that the justice system went against the rules to get Cosby and ultimately lost the gamble. I'm pretty sure they knew they would lose on appeal but had to strike while the iron was hot.
"When you got the Quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these Quaaludes for young women you wanted to have sex with?"
"Yes."
Still doesn't indicate rape. It indicates he got the Quaaludes for party purposes. Women asked for them and he supplied or he supplied them and women took them.
share^^^this. Like a drug dealer on the streets.

The problem there is that you enter the 'damn if you do, damn if you don't' territory.
The guy brings the drugs? he's like a drug dealer on the streets. The guy doesn't bring the drugs? then he's making her buy her own drugs, oh! then he's cheap and rude, as opposed to a gentleman who would pay for the drugs. share
You can lob insults at me, but all I said is I have not heard him admit to raping anyone. He admitted that he gave Quaaludes to women and slept with some of them, but that's not an admission to raping anyone. How many men have bought a drink for a woman they hoped to sleep with? Do you think any time those two people end up sleeping together the man raped her? I don't. I understand that humans have, since the discovery of drugs and alcohol, used drugs and alcohol recreationally, and that usage lowers one's inhibitions, and often ends up in two people having sex who would not have had sex sober. That's not rape, that's being human.
If he snuck drugs into someone's drink without her knowledge, or if he had sex with an unconscious, or clearly too-drink woman, or did anything that was not clearly consensual, that's a whole other thing, and maybe he did. My only comment was that he never, to my knowledge, admitted to anything of the sort.

Bingo.
And it wasn't just a thing. It was a great thing. Provided people are adults and consensual, drugs, sex and some good music in the background is one of the best experiences you can have in life. Sadly banned in modern western world because of this woke neo-religion or puritans.
I'd rather choose Folk other than Rock, though- The right sentence should have been "sex, drugs and folk music" 😁 share
