    No, but you as a lawyer should be able to agree that eyewitness testimony counts as evidence, right?

    That isn't eyewitness testimony under penalty of perjury. It's hearsay. Unsworn out of court statements are inadmissible as evidence because of the notorious unreliability of such statements.

    Beyond that, the credibility of witnesses is an important factor. Which cannot be evaluated because most of those witnesses are dead.

    There's evidence of people seeing and recording things, that is the indisputable evidence (let's assume for now that all video and photo evidence is undoctored).

    In this analogy those photos, videos, and quotes are the evidence, however how they are interpreted doesn't mean people will reach the same conclusions.

    Not to mention video makes for a fixed visual angle of observation. It does not include other measurements. It does not include inspection of the vehicle to say it is physically impossible by our present knowledge. Magicians can show a person floating and defying physics on video where the camera may not see what is actually happening.

    Since I'm not child I'm likely not your target. Wherever you're located, keep your hands off the kids. Yours included if you have them.

    Now it's GLBT? Dropped the lesbians down a notch? And what happened to the rest of the keyboard bunch? Have the Q made their decision (inserted TNG undertone perfectly!)? Why did you abandon the + folks and wasn't there a symbol for boron lost in the shuffle?

    Regarding ANYONE abusing children, they should all be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Including you. Clearer?

    Anyway, how is that trump cock sucking thing going for you? Also, you might want to avoid getting your device so close to your testicle tanner because it could cause sparks. Also, the bowtie looks cute and your hot latina wife seems a bit dry if you know what I mean.

    Yeah, pretend you are not testicle tanning because you are worried about how manly you are. Your secret was leaked testicle tanner tucker.

    He says he has pictures and video of something defying physics, though he has not proven it scientifically. He also saw elvis and bigfoot in his local walmart last week while he was on a bender, but we figure that was just his parents.

    Your grasp of science is really that shaky. You think Joe Rogan is a smart person. You are dumb as a stump and your beliefs are very close to those people who see bigfoot and elvis. You are a talking monkey.

    Studies have shown repeatedly that it's the most unreliable evidence.

    Yes personal anecdotes are a kind of evidence.

    I'm not talking about personal anecdotes, I'm talking about eyewitness testimony.

    Yet you and I know that certain memories are ingrained in our brains. If you see something extraordinary, it sticks with you. Ex. "where were you when X (Kennedy was shot, the Challenger blew up, 9/11, etc, etc...) happened?" Also it is true that eyewitness accounts are reliable as long as you are careful and get the account within the first 48 hours.

    So for example, Christine Blasey Ford's account should probably dismissed because memory is faulty?So I don't remember the day my mom died, my father died, my best friend in high school died and when all four of my grandparents died correctly because of faulty memory? Fuck off, I'll never forget those days. :dayton:

    The right-wing only hates the idea of safe spaces for gay kids and teens.
    They have their own safe space, but it's called Parler.
