No, my statement was that the PROBLEM in question is that it IS considered "evidence" (in the legal sense) even when there is a clear conflict of interest.
And does that conflict exist when police are testifying against people they arrested/cited? It seems to me that this is a "they came for the speeders, and I didn't speak up" situation. You get what you deserve. Oh, and I did speak up when they came for the speeders. I have victories in court and letters to politicians as evidence of that. But the "men" in question don't have any issue with police being taken as infalible, unless it's used against them. That makes them part of the problem, and so I have no sympathy.
Then ask them if a lawyer they've had to deal with/oppose in court (since I'm sure that, like you, they are absolute paragons and would never do such a thing) has ever recommended to a woman that she should make complaints of abuse to strengthen her case.
As my father was abusive and my mother never mentioned such a thing in court, I think I have an insight you lack. She never mentioned it. There was no need to, he knew it would be used against him, and so he didn't oppose her custody demands (didn't hurt that the children were of age where in a contested custody the children would be asked who they'd rather go with, and the children would have not picked him). So the one case I have intimate knowledge of, he was a abuser (alcoholic) and it was never mentioned. And my mother worked for Family Court Services (the local organization that would testify in court as to which parent was most suitable in a custody dispute, as well as adoption assessments) so she'd go in assuming everyone was lying to make themselves look good. There were false claims from both sides in almost every case of a dispute, and false claims with no evidence work against the liar in court.
I'm not defending abusers, I'm defending those falsely accused of being abusers.
And how many is that. 1% of the accused? 10%? 150%?

When they find out it isn't (FOXCONN) they lash out.
The suicide rate at Foxconn is below average, and the conditions above average. Foxconn isn't a blow against Apple, unless you are an ignorant idiot.

You're saying that a man complaining about his soon-to-be-ex-wife lying about abuse should be given less credibility than the accuser, based on the fact that he's being accused of being abusive.
Fuck you. You are lying. You are pissed off abuser, or defender of abusers who lies in court and is lying here. I said no such thing. The original statement was that eye witness testimony wasn't "Evidence" I pointed out that was wrong. I didn't say anything about whether it was sufficient for conviction. When you whined that it shouldn't be sufficient, I pointed out that it is considered sufficient in traffic court, and there aren't large groups of pissed off men protesting that. Again, you are wrong on every point you've ever made, and to try to hide that, you are lying about what I said.
Everyone reading this can scroll up and see you are a lying sack of shit. If you wanted to discuss the issue, you'd ask questions and listen. Instead, you want to rant, so you spew non sequiturs and lies to declare victory in your rant. You are what you complain about. The lying wife attacking the non-lying innocent guy. And you have no grasp of the irony, making you not only a liar, but a lying idiot.
you clearly have no grasp of human nature or the inherent scumminess of family law.
My parents met as probation officers, and my mother and sister worked for the state in family law, and my father was a lawyer in family law. So I have an idea of family law. And I have a degree in psychology, so I have a grasp of human nature. So you are a lying idiot that has never been right in his life. But keep guessing, it makes you feel better, and guesses are at least not lies.

Because just mentioning that abusive men would complain isn't circular reasoning. Perhaps you should read your own links before posting them.

When that "witness" also happens to be the opposing party, with a deep, vested interest in making sure that her opponent gets fucked as hard and deep as possible by the courts
That's the cop in traffic court, and I don't see nearly as many complaints about that, as the abusive men who wish they wouldn't have any sanctions against them.

Even today probably 90% of your actual power usage is of direct AC power (air conditioning and lights). So I would say that it is wrong to say Tesla was wrong.
Most of the lighting in my house is DC. 12V halogen MR16 bulbs.
