Keeping in mind that you don't get to clarify by saying "Oh, I meant that I like to crack eggs when making pancakes or crumple paper to play wastebasket basketball," I think well-adjusted people would select the more appropriate choice, "False."<br /><br />B. I like to read newspaper articles on crime.<br />Saying "True" may indicate something positive -- that the job applicant likes to be well-informed. But given the type of job this is, I think a "True" answer may be a minus, showing that someone is too much of a crime "fan," someone who might aspire to be in the crime news him/herself.<br /><br />C.

I ask for your support of all of the victims involved.”<br /><br />More than 40 women have come forward to publicly accuse Cosby, 78, of assaulting them over four decades, usually saying he drugged them first. No criminal charges have been filed against Cosby.<br /><br />Last week, Cosby filed a countersuit against seven other women who accused him of sexual assault and sued him for defamation. Cosby said the women’s accusations hurt his reputation so much that plans for a new family comedy on NBC were derailed.<br /><br />Johnson, 63, the first African-American supermodel, first made her accusation against Cosby in Vanity Fair magazine in late 2014.<br /><br />She said that in the mid-1980s, she went to Cosby’s residence to work on acting exercises, including one in which she acted drunk, when Cosby asked her to have a drink from his cappuccino machine.<br /><br />“I knew by the second sip of the drink Cosby had given me that I’d been drugged — and drugged good,” she wrote. Johnson said she struggled so much that Cosby took her out of the house and put her into a cab.<br /><br />Johnson later talked about the alleged incident to other publications and television shows such as “The View,” “Nightline” and “Good Morning America.” She devoted a chapter to it in her 2015 autobiography, “The Face That Changed It All.”<br /><br />In a press release, Cosby lawyer Monique Pressley called Johnson’s statements “an opportunistic attempt to resuscitate her own career and benefit herself financially from the wave of media attention surrounding her false allegations against Mr. Cosby. …”<br /><br />Cosby seeks unspecified damages, an injunction requiring Johnson to retract her statements, removal of the chapter about Cosby in future copies of her memoir and removal of the chapter from unsold copies.<br /><br />Pressley filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court.<br /><br />In another action, Cobsy’s lawyers filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed last October by Renita Hill, one of his accusers.<br /><br />Hill appeared in the “Picture Pages” educational videos with Cosby in the 1980s when she was a teenager.<br /><br />She said Cosby sexually abused her from 1983-87 and paid for her college education until she decided to have no more contact with him. She filed for defamation after Cosby, his lawyer and his wife said in the media that her accusations were not true.<br /><br />The Cosby motion says Hill’s complaint doesn’t meet the bar for defamation and notes that the three media comments mention Hill by name.<br /><br />Hill’s lawsuit is in the U.S. District Court of western Pennsylvania.<br /><br />http://fox8.com/2015/12/22/bill-cosby-sues-supermodel-beverly-johnson-for-defamation/John Mc Gowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430624388902099338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-67163092187646372182015-12-22T06:01:49.733-05:002015-12-22T06:01:49.733-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.John Mc Gowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430624388902099338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-86196159085561215182015-12-22T00:44:31.370-05:002015-12-22T00:44:31.370-05:00I want to say another thing about a psychological ...I want to say another thing about a psychological exam.

It's twenty-odd years since I smashed anything, which is a lot of not smashing. If everyone *should* feel like smashing things at times, and that becomes suppressed, does it turn into something else? I don't know, but it would seem likely. <br /><br />I grew up in a household in which every few months one parent smashed crockery, overturned furniture, and upended plant pots as a means of venting frustration, before slamming the door on the way out of the house, whilst the other kicked furniture and also slammed doors (not all at the same time - variety is the spice of life). It was scary and random, and I got to clear up - no fun for kids. As such, I didn't follow their example with my own kids, until one particularly stressed out day when they were all playing up and my better half appeared to have gone conveniently deaf, and I was trying to do six things at once; with hardly a thought I dropped a set of dinner plates onto a stone tiled floor, both as a means of expression, and to shut them them all up, which it did. Whatever had worked for my parents didn't work for me - I felt terrible, and then tried to make out to the kids it was an accident, and have regretted that moment and the dinner plates (it was a nice set) ever since. I haven't smashed anything, nor had the desire, since that day - horrible, don't do it. <br /><br />That doesn't have to mean much, as there are less obvious ways to express frustration and to break things, not necessarily physically. I'd say it's likely that most people feel that level of frustration at times, but that 'smashing things' is not necessarily the best question as it is too definitive, whereas destructive and self-destructive reactions or impulses can take many forms. To respond 'true' to wanting to actually smash things would say a person does not seem enough in control of their feelings or person, to me - yet it may be 'true' of someone who doesn't want, literally, to smash things - as with me, the response is 'false' but that may not be true enough. The frustration goes somewhere, it has to come out - I write to vent - it's more civilised, and saves on the crockery. My parents used to write AND smash and slam things - for the sake of our children, we evolve.

Most would only call them if they couldn't catch the criminal themselves or profile a friend or family member and blame them. That comes from the mantra 'all we do is mop up.' Expecting the police to do any of those things is ludicrous!I know at least 7 people that have been hit by a police car in non-emergency situations so we know their auto safety expertise is lacking. They may know more about gun safety than most as that would surely be a requirement.<br /><br />I thought they refused to do their job so the vigilantes and those hired to do what they can't could run the underground network.
