Yep. Even Hannity has been forced to admit this.

I suspect that bucking a guy like Moore back then would be like being one of those guys on Deliverance. I remember kids back in the 60's and 70's getting slammed into the lockers at school by the principal for having long hair. That was in MO. Not the deep south.

College guy is not 30.

In 1978 I began a relationship with a 40 year old I was 19 when it started.

Looking back now - -he should have known better. I wasn't completely naive and yes I went along with it...but what a stupid idea. It wasn't right. I wasn't ready for a relationship with a man who had had two marriages, etc.

I was naive, he wasn't.

It wasn't right -- and NONE of my friends or family knew because guess what -- they would have freaked out.

It just wasn't right. I wish I had been a little more mature, secure and aware.

I wish he had been a little smarter and caring for my well being.

I do remember being in 8th grade, and one of the girls in 9th was very mature looking for her age. She always claimed to date college guys. That was early 80's.


Rod Stewart - Young Turks , although they never say the age of the guy.
Rod Stewart - Hot Legs
The Cars - Let's Go
Don’t Stand So Close to Me - The Police

All those rock stars were probably doing underage girls. I always thought of groupies as teens. Movies like Rock and Roll High School and Fast Times at Ridgemont High had teen girls chasing after older guys.

In real life my friend was sixteen dating a mid-twenties guy in a band. A total loser but at the time he was the cool guy. A lot of stuff went on without it being considered horrible or pedo like it seems now. When a teacher hit on me we just laughed it off.

You haven't followed very well. WP was just in Al to do a story on Moore the pervert and they were contacted by others and given the lead to follow. Any journalist would jump at that. Vetted and proven true before it was released. Other Al citizens have came forward.

what if he did?

based on his answers it definitely leans toward something inappropriate.

wash hands and walk away

Yes, but that doesn't make it right. He acted on it and used his title to protect him according to several accusers.

You would think but people defend anything these days.

It should be but morals are weird. Like how the soldiers during the Crusades were justified in killing Muslims.

For someone over 18, it was the forbidden fruit (which has it's attractions) and everyone knew that.

For anyone under 18 it was a song for them.

For instance ... If a guy is seventeen and there is a song about Sweet Sixteen it can be quite appropriate to them, regardless of who sings it. The performer conveys the message.

For a 30 year old a 'sweet sixteen' song might be cute, or have good dance steps or a nice catchy melody, or (more likely) pleasant reminiscences ... but it is not an encouragement to pedophilia. It does not reflect an endorsement for child abuse on the part of the listening public.

Nothing in politics is black or white and nothing is as clear cut as it seems. If you believe that it is, I have a bridge to sell to you.
