And as I said in the Moore thread, you're defending a sleazebag on a technicality. I mean, if the guy was maybe 22 or 23 and he was making moves on 16 and 17 year olds, I could see that's not that big a deal. But Moore was in his early 30's. Heck, if he was making moves on 21 or 22 year olds it wouldn't be a big deal. But a 32-year-old guy making moves (mostly, if not entirely, uninvited) on 14-17 year olds is sleazy.
No, if you're of legal age to consent, then what does it matter if the other party is 23 or 53? Would it make a difference if the women were 18 years old, a difference of one year from 17? And who says Moore was making moves on a 14 year old? This is what I mean about he said, she said allegations. Moore denies that.

I agree. I have seen many people calling him a pedophile, but they do not realize what that term even means, they just throw it around because they have heard others using it. 'pedophile' does not apply when its a 14 yr old and an adult of any age, that is actually Edpephile (spelling?).

Not to mention, really theres not much difference between a 14 and 16 yr old anyway.

I also agree about the allegation part, far too many people today automatically convict once they hear media or someone from law enforcement make an allegation. I do not think it got this way by coincidence either, its almost as it people have become victims of mass brainwashing/ conditioning.

Damn, I am sick of this crap.

Clinton has been out of office for almost 20 years. He will never hold office again. And, for the record, I think he was a sleaze when it came to his behavior with women. So...is that a good excuse to let it continue? Really? "Your guy got a pass, so mine gets one, too?"

The only thing that train of thought is going to do is make sure nothing ever changes.

You'd think "changing times" would apply more to the time the alleged incident took place rather than the time the outrage was happening in.

But it's back to work for Franken and, as usual, NO DEMOCRATS are calling for him to step down. After all, he's good enough, he's smart enough, and, doggone it, people like him!

Joy Behar is just as guilty of groping as Franken is. There is a picture of her grabbing Robin Williams crotch floating around. What makes me angry is that she sits there and dogs on these men who have done it and calls them out and she is just as guilty.
