It depends on the type of rumor.  You heard he's a mass murderer or rapist - steer clear of him.  You heard he lies sometimes and cheats on girlfriends - go ahead and see for yourself, but keep the rumors in the back of your head.  Maybe stay guarded for a little while.\n\nIt also depends on where you heard the rumor.  If you heard it from Chatty Cathy, you can probably discount it.

Ignore it. \nIf any one ask you about the rumor just say it is not true, and you don't have time for that kind of talk... ignore them... people who like rumors like to see people get mad and affected about what they've said... if you act like you don't care, they will eventually stop picking on you.

Yes, it's a way to maintain authority. Politics, corporations, and media want to keep a stranglehold on their authority statuses thus all three professions ignore the facts to promote themselves.

usually these rumors start for a reason.  if it's true, there is NO way he will admit it.   talk to the people from whom you've heard the rumor - but if I were you, I'd steer waaaay clear.  seriously.  keep yourself safe.

I am not sure of the lie.. but if you have proof you didn't say it let people know.  And depending on the lie.. you have a right to say whatever you want.  Constitution says so.

Have you thought about asking them?  You'll find some kind of address and/or telephone number somewhere on their music.  Write to them while they are still alive if you want to know the truth.  Otherwise, it is just "gossip" & you are jumping to conclusions based on lyrics that you have no background info to support.  If you enjoy listening to their music, then why not do them the courtesy of sharing your "concerns" with them?  I'm bettin' they'll be honest with you, if you'd just ask!

This has become the standard political ploy of the "modern age."  First you abstract your opponent and then paint this abstraction with ugly colors and dishonorable words that may easily be remembered.  If you are successful, vast numbers of people will take it in, and that abstraction, like bleeding heart liberal or cold hearted conservative, will continue to associate these ugly and dishonorable attributes to your victim endlessly, unless someone effectively neutralizes them again.  This is the low road of debate used by those of little faith in themselves or their audience.  Rather than trusting in the persuasive power of their thoughts, slander is used instead of persuasion.  Unfortunately, this is all too effective today, leaving the public ill informed, and armed only with empty abstraction to debate with.

Never ruin a relationship over a rumor.  There are tons of people out there that say things just to hurt others for the fun of it.  Let rumors just be rumors and trust your man till gives you a reason not to trust him.

It doesnt matter, they have to do that, if they call them guilty, they can be sued for slander if he ends up being found innocent.  It can also taint witnesses that see the report, as it helps to establish guilt in their minds.

Not sure about this question, but I'd be very careful posting slanderous material on the internet if I were you. Companies take this sort of thing very seriously and before you know it, you can find yourself in legal hot water.

As a Wiccan I feel this kind of thing is just ridiclous. People have been gossiping about others for many years and it hasnt changed much. People are known by their deeds not by their words in my opinion, if you put out kindness and have the forethought to choose your words before you speak, you got it made. \n\nIt is true that Christians have taken our symbols, our Sabbats and the like and incorporated them into their thealogy, symbolism and the like; but this is not the way of the modern day Christian, most are more tolerant of us these days then when the Christian Church began. \n\nTechnically, one cannot worship someone or something if one doesnt believe in it. Hope this helps. Blessed Be.

Seems like a lecture to me. I do not need a lesture but thanks anyway. No tip of iceberg, Senate committee throwing around their weight & Safavian was convicted of lying to an ethics officer.\nIf they start convicting people for lying, they will empty DC & then come for the rest of us. Dull news!
