Fox News host Eric Bolling sues reporter for $50 million over story on lewd texts

Actually, phones have had passcodes for years now, and actually, your personal anecdotal practice does not prove what even a minority of the overall American phone-owning public does. 

My phones have always had passcodes once I got one that had it enabled.

Phones have had the capability for years.  I own a security company and see what a lot of people do.  Many many do not have passcodes

I choose not to have one and I will bet there are more who do the same than there are with passcodes.

Mine too.  It's not that I'm trying to keep people from emailing porn from my account, it's because I want a LEO to produce a warrant if he wants to rifle the contents of that mini-computer.  If I don't enable a passcode it's free for a warrantless search.

It bounces around depending on survey and platform, but suffice it to say that many, many, many people don't use even the most simple of screen locking.  I didn't until only a few months ago.

My phone has the capability, but I won't use it for two similar reasons.  Basically when it's locked there's an emergency call button on the lock screen; 1. if I left the phone sitting around and my son found it he would inevitably hit that button 2. if I had the phone in my pocket the button would get hit by accident.  After 3 calls to 911 I decided to leave the phone unlocked.

@Bigun

Many people declared him guilty because of this "I don't remember" response.   Now consider that these txts were allegedly sent several years ago.   If you were asked about a txt that you allegedly sent 3,4 or 5 years ago.  How would you answer?   

Would you say "I don't send those things so I don't recall"  or "I don't remember doing that".    Seems reasonable.   Even if it was actually sent from his phone there really is no way to prove he sent it. 

I wonder how many of those anonymous women will change their story when they are named in a $50 million lawsuit.

@driftdiver

How would I answer?  I would definitively know whether I had sent a photo of my sex organ and I would be able to answer accordingly.  Wouldn't you?

It's pretty easy for this old man to answer.  There are no pics of my dick.  In fact, there are no pics of my face either, so go pound sand.

Well I may have texted a picture of bollings privates but never mine.  Definitely not a good way to impress the ladies.

A coworker and I were talking about this.  She used to work in sales and would get random guys sending her pics like this all the time.

One reason she quit that job.

Well, if we're going by personal preference (mine), I don't want to see his, either.

Well your safe cause I prefer not to have those kinda pics in my possession.

@CatherineofAragon

As I pointed out before, there are several reasons why one could not definitively know.

I have ordered things online in the middle of the night without remembering it. 

When I used Ambien, I never realized that I did anything but sleep, until I shared a hotel room with someone who told me I got up on my bed in the middle of the night and pretended I was riding a motorcycle.  Many people report sending text messages in the night.

20 years ago, I knew a sexual trauma victim with what used to be called "Multiple Personality Disorder" (MPD), but is now known as "Dissociative Identity Disorder" (DID). She would shift between personalities under stress, and her "normal" personality wasn't aware of what her other ones had done (amnesia).  Even polygraph tests don't pick this up.

I think most of us have probably known of people who drink or do drugs and don't recall all that they've done under the influence.

Finally, that could be the lawyer talking.  It's common, if I'm not mistaken, to use that phrasing just in case you don't remember something and it can be used against you ("You claimed you'd never . . .") like with Mark Fuhrman in the OJ case.  If you state you don't recall, then you don't have to worry about goofing up a detail and have it come back.

My question is how did/does the commie b*%÷h know who's junk was/is in the picture?

Not much more to show.  I've been sanding and trying to fix little things.  Won't fiberglass it until I get back from my Ontario bear hunting trip next month.

Love you, but I'm not buying any of that, lol.  If he clicked his (blank), he damn well knows he did.  Come on, now.

Is that what they are calling it these days?   


Wanna ride the old Kayak down the
Kayaks are like women. The best ones are the hardest to get in to.
Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly. They lit a fire in the craft, it sank, proving once and for all that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
