The British court found that Heard had 'proved' over a dozen cases of abuse by Depp. The American court 'proved' that Heard had lied about at least some of the abuse. Both were civil trials held to a lower standard of proof than criminal trials and they gave somewhat contradictory results. — Baden
Karl Stone has zero credibility left anyhow as he didn't even know Depp was found by the UK judge to have assaulted Heard. And that fact destroys his positioning. Or worse, he did know and lied in pursuit of his agenda. So, he's either woefully ignorant or a liar. And anyone who gives him oxygen for, what now given the facts is starting to smell like a misogynistic charade, is being foolish. — Baden
I don't believe Depp was proven to have assaulted Heard
— Tate
Yes, he was in the UK trial. — Baden
political parasites like karl stone — Baden

Whether he actually 'really' did it or not, I don't pretend to know for absolute sure and I don't think any of us do. I don't have a dog in the fight and I don't think either of them is completely innocent. They both sound horrible to me. — Baden
have tried to make the distinction between the cause (womens rights for want of a better term) and the politically correct movement. I watched the trial, and created this thread specifically to make the point that politically correct movements - by dint of their dictatorial nature, are deeply problematic and wide open to abuse. — karl stone
the working man, by virtue of having white skin and a penis, is lumped into the oppressor category. This alienation from political representation for a large section of society explains Trump and Brexit; working people voting for Conservatives and Republicans, because the left has made them second class citizens. — karl stone
it's difficult for me to write in depth about US sensibilities. — karl stone
the left are no longer the party of the working classes — karl stone
Now go to your room and stay there. We'll call you when you are wanted for something, — Bitter Crank
the left are no longer the party of the working class, but have become a wholly owned subsidiary of the political correctness industry! — karl stone
Depp case could be a transformative moment, but it won't be - because of the nature of political correctness; it requires people believe things, and say things they don't really believe. That's how they get you! — karl stone
his lies were prefereable to the lie that is political correctness. — karl stone
It must be sometime after this point she began to play upto the champion of domestic violence role - in association with metoo — karl stone
