As bad as what Cuomo did at least it seemed like he owned up to what he did in the end.

He really didn't, though. He did the right thing and resigned, but he still used his resignation speech as a platform to continue to deny all the accusations. He's a creep.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 10:09 pm As bad as what Cuomo did at least it seemed like he owned up to what he did in the end.

Bullshit he did. He resigned because the rest of his party were gonna impeach him if he didn't. He spent a whole week before this saying the AG findings were nonsense.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 10:09 pm As bad as what Cuomo did at least it seemed like he owned up to what he did in the end.

Watching his speech he mentioned he doesn't feel he harassed anyone because he feels it was a generational and cultural shift that he got caught in and feels there is a discussion that needs to be had.UltramanGoji wrote: ↑Wed Aug 11, 2021 6:19 amBullshit he did.

I can see his point of view because sadly we did live in a culture were Women didn't have the ability to voice concerns and people at the work place did do things back then that is no considered harassment.
I'm not defending him at all, I'm just saying that when we deal with sommany politicians and people like Bill Cosby that deny what that did to the better end, seeing one person doing even a half assed apology is better than never admiting you were wrong at all.

Anyone here old enough to remember the last-scandal ridden NY gov? Elliot Spitzer? Wasn’t he in a similar problem, not sexual harassment, but cheating? Seems like the NY govs have a history of sex scandals, though Cuomos seems worse.

I couldn't read the article because of the paywall...what did their priors look like? Race very well may have played a part, but it's key to have all of the facts first - I can't tell you how many times I've heard someone scream racism in situations like this, when the sentencing disparity was actually due to priors. If you have a laundry list of past arrests and convictions, you're going to be handed a harsher sentence.Spirit Ghidorah 2010 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 7:24 am White woman who stole $250K gets probation, while Black woman who stole less than one-sixth of that gets 18 months prison time

Re: Official News topic
Funny you mentioned that. Because Bosworth (the white lady) has a total of 22 charges of theft on her record. Meanwhile, Hopkins (the black lady) has a grand total of....one. Yet she was the one who gets prison time.Rando Yaguchi wrote: ↑Thu Aug 12, 2021 11:08 am If you have a laundry list of past arrests and convictions, you're going to be handed a harsher sentence.

Ethnic Group in the Philippines Have Highest Level of Denisovan DNA in the World
A study analyzing the genomes of nearly 120 ethnic groups in the Philippines has identified that one population, the Ayta Magbukon, have the highest level of DNA derived from Denisovans, an extinct human subspecies, recorded to date.
Denisovans, unlike the better-studied Neanderthals, were only discovered by modern science around a decade ago, when mysterious remains found in a cave in Siberia turned out to be from the previously unidentified subspecies.

Re: Official News topic
It wasn't my intention to start a religious discussion, but since this has no come up:
To you they're "insane" because you don't agree with their extremism.
Religion has driven mankind to commit unspeakable crimes just as it has motivated some of its most beautiful works of art. Don't excuse religion's fault in this case simply because you don't agree with the criminals or the way they practice their faith.
Their actions are driven by their understanding of their religion, so yes, it was religion, or more precisely a specific interpretation of holy texts.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Sun Aug 15, 2021 2:10 pm Yeah because it was religion that told insane people to interpret the words in a way to justify being assholes.
