TIL Ted Nugent for a month stopped bathing, vomitted on himself, and pooped his pants to get out of being drafted during Vietnam.

It does, and that is the reality of it. Unfortunately, when you get accused, some people are going to judge you for it. Such is life. It is not fair. But we don't have any way to know whether or not an accusation is real without investigating. And if someone doesn't like you or know you, they might still think that you are guilty no matter what the outcome. It is unfortunately, but it is a part of life. And we are all guilty of it to some degree. Believing a rumor that someone tells us without knowing all of the facts. Reading the news paper about crimes that were committed. We all have biases and we all have opinions when it comes to things like this. There really is no cut and dry way around it.
