I hate that word...."problematic"....yet it fits right here, doesn't it?

I mean, if "defending" Woody Allen, or even watching his movies is an issue for some here....what is testifying on behalf of Polanski even in an unrelated trial long after the allegations came out about Roman AND after Mia became a crusader for victim's rights?

I see your point, but focusing on Mia *or* Soon-Yi strikes me as a bit of a distraction. nomorenomore08 Feb 2014 #16

I have personal knowledge of people who had false recovered memories. Bonobo Feb 2014 #17

Okay, fair enough. But I think people in general are too quick to jump to that sort of conclusion nomorenomore08 Feb 2014 #18

jumping to a conclusion as a form of discomfort avoidance. lumberjack_jeff Feb 2014 #19
