Colo. mom gets 38 years for using baseball bat to kill man she wrongly accused of child molestation.

What I meant was kids don't create this imaginary molestation without an actual having an actual observation someone doing it to someone else or the kid herself. If kids can carry out sexual assault without someone else showing them how it's done, how is it impossible to imagine a kid making up a sexual assault allegation to get someone in trouble? Do you think children need to be shown how to do everything in order to learn how it works? If that were the case, we never would've learned anything at all as a species, because at the beginning, we were the only ones to teach ourselves anything, and noone had any experience yet. Yet we learned and built things anyway... explain?

It's entirely possible that it didn't happen,

While it is also possible it did happen.

but the overwhelming majority of rape accusations are true despite what you might see in the front page.

I realize this. I'm not saying rape doesn't happen.

Also the rest of your first paragraph is just stupid and I don't know what you're getting at.

It should be clear what I'm getting at. In fact you sum it up precisely in your next sentence:

Just because you have certain experience doesn't mean that everyone else has to.

Exactly. Just because I was good at reading doesn't mean everyone else would be at the time. Just because someone else was good with learning a second language doesn't mean I would be. Just because one child can't grasp sexual concepts doesn't mean another wouldn't.

Just because something contradicts your experiences doesn't make it false.

Agreed.

Also plugging in /r/iamverysmart for your little rant.

Okay?
