@@nottherealpaulsmith yes you are right. i didnt notice the beginning

i love president trump

I see, so you don't think for yourself, your presenting yourself like a moron, that you're not intelligent enough to look at cases, look at what really happened. First let me lay out why Cosby was eventually released from prison, The appeals court was, split because the court found that Cosby was unfairly prosecuted because the previous district attorney had promised the comedian that he wouldn't be charged over Constand's accusations. Cosby was charged by another prosecutor who claimed he wasn't bound by that agreement. The court concluded that prosecutor who later brought the charges was obligated to stick to the nonprosecution agreement, so the conviction cannot stand. The justices wrote that "denying the defendant the benefit of that decision is an affront to fundamental fairness, particularly when it results in a criminal prosecution that was foregone for more than a decade." The problem with the whole case from the beginning was dealing with accusations that we're not reported at the time and we're essentially hearsay. These accusations raised by dozens of other women, including the five who testified at his 2018 trial, often go back decades and are most likely too remote to prosecute. We are not in the Salem witch trials anymore. There has to be a cut-off point. Memories fail even things you think you remember are different Maybe you're too stubborn to a minute but in my own life I know there are things I remember as a kid or for my early twenties that now in my 40s are different especially when I collaborate them with people who were there. Our judicial system and our policing system is based on they use bad science It's junk signs stuff like eyewitness testimony going through and looking at mugshots This has been proven by actual science to be pseudoscience but we still use it because it's easier for the cops and they know that simple idiots like you will buy it. You don't care to put away innocent people as long as a show trial takes place. I want to help with it but women need to help themselves first If a crime does happen they need to report it If I'm out one night and somebody stabs me and I wait 15 years and then come out and say I've been stabbed and I want retribution that's not going to fly If I'm stabbed I need to report it right away. There was one woman who made an accusation on Cosby and she still hung out with him still talk to him like everything was normal until years later when she made the accusation. This is what the prosecution was trying to deal with was looking through all these bogus stories. I'm not a defender of Bill Cosby The guy cheated on his wife but how many in Hollywood do that how many people just do that in general I've been cheated on. Countless people have been cheated on there are people who cheat and there are people who don't That's it I don't hate all women because I've been cheated on because some women have cheated on me doesn't mean anything That was on them as a human being. I just implore people to use their mind and reason instead of just buying whatever the narrative is because usually you're being given propaganda you're being lied to because there's a corporate interest at stake.

That’s because 90’s commercials have better scripted character, & world development, & fewer plot holes in under 30 seconds than any current, hour long tv episode.

I'm right there with you I would even love to go back to school and I hated school when I was growing up lol. Only if I realized how good of times they actually where.

That one was so sad as well, I agree. Had a similar feeling watching that as the AT&T wtc one. "Well, This isn't bad......oh." RIP Steve, a really sweet dude with a great legacy ❤❤❤🙏🏽

He died at 44. That's a ripe old age for a crocodile hunter.

For me that was one of the ones that was less sad, and more of a facepalm. They took a guy with a dangerous job, and played up one of the job's most likely occupational hazards for laughs. I was alive at the time, I remember how everyone thought Steve was invincible... and this commercial suggests either he *also* drank his own Kool-Aid about this how this could never actually happen to him, or he just didn't really care how it would look in hindsight (understandable, since in that case he would already be dead anyway). It would be like having a famous stunt man get in a near-deadly accident as a commercial gag. Or a famous snowboarder getting caught in an accident. It's less "unforeseeable tragedy" and more "pretty likely scenario that they do their job in spite of."

​​@@geneparmesan8748Pretty sure Steve Irwin was acutely aware of the danger, danger, danger. But also things were different back then and people weren't so serious all of the time. So he was probably still able to joke about it, like dark humor
