Yes - thus what attitude (or lack of it) Hillary takes vis-a-vis her husband's behaviour is relevant.
September 27, 2016 at 14:12
Well definitely not but again that's not the main issue. The main issue since both candidates are not social conservatives is which one will ready the...

Well that depends - rapists do tend to be narcissists in many cases, having an excessive love for themselves.
September 27, 2016 at 14:04
Define what "normal man" means. Is that the average man? Probably Clinton is at a 4. Others would have done what he did had they had the power. But no...
September 27, 2016 at 14:00
Okay my bad I didn't read that, as I just skimmed your article. Now after reading this: That sounds like at least harassment and attempted rape, yes. ...
September 27, 2016 at 13:56
Look it's very important what it means attempted rape. What did he do? Did he ask her to come to his bedroom? Did he grab her hand and tried to pull h...
September 27, 2016 at 13:46
In a political campaign such a court case was filed - if it was true, why wasn't it filed earlier?. That may very well have been filed for political r...
September 27, 2016 at 13:42
You wouldn't be accusing them - you'd merely bring up the fact that there is a problem, since several women are in fact accusing him. A problem which ...
September 27, 2016 at 13:34
Yes I am aware of this. It is very in tune with the rest of her character.
September 27, 2016 at 13:31
Even so - it would be a single issue out of the many that Clinton has. One which by the way has never been clarified.
September 27, 2016 at 13:29
Look I'm pragmatic. We can't sit with a finger up our bums waiting for something that may never happen. We have to play the cards we are given, and pl...
September 27, 2016 at 13:29
Look I talked about people. Not about countries. It's very simple - if your husband or wife rapes someone, you need to take some attitude. Most people...
September 27, 2016 at 13:26
Nope. Not anything goes. Hitler doesn't go for example. Killing millions of people doesn't go. And so forth. Many things don't go. But Trump does go, ...
September 27, 2016 at 13:23
I didn't claim he is socially conservative, but he will be destructive to the liberal-progressive mindset. That's the important bit in this case. Yes ...
September 27, 2016 at 13:19
It doesn't matter if he did. Fact of the matter is that there are several women who claim to have been raped by him. That alone is a sufficiently big ...
September 27, 2016 at 13:12
I don't think so at all - I think they'd just say he's telling the truth, even if others don't like it, like he built a reputation for doing. Fact of ...
September 27, 2016 at 13:05
Yes he should have developed that a lot more until now. The e-mails, the pay-for-play schemes, the Benghazi, the lying, the unfair earnings, Bill Clin...
September 27, 2016 at 12:40
Donald lost the debate. But he will win the elections. He was too weak on Clinton. He should have trashed the place with her - no weaker opponent is e...
September 27, 2016 at 12:28
Just so this goes on record: no conservatives, of any kind, would say that adultery is ever morally acceptable - regardless of what those who commit o...
September 27, 2016 at 12:23
No I don't try to cast you as one - you are one. It's a simple fact. Liberal progressives are the only ones who share your beliefs. Certainly conserva...
September 26, 2016 at 23:40
Which is exactly the same thing as jealousy. What else do you think jealousy is? Jealousy is a sub-species of anger. It's with regards to self. Wherea...
September 26, 2016 at 23:35
Yes they are useful in developing spiritual intimacy among other things. Of course you can peddle this liberal progressive ideology, which is what you...
September 26, 2016 at 23:33
No I'm not afraid of being any sort of loser - how others perceive me has nothing to do with it - I'm just angry and upset that an injustice has been ...
September 26, 2016 at 23:31
How is that possible if those beliefs - the beliefs of the majority through history - and of most major moral codes out there - form the standard by w...
September 26, 2016 at 23:26
There is no insecurity - what insecurity would there be? There's no fear that he has gained at my expense - the whole problem is that he is enjoying w...
September 26, 2016 at 23:22
It's not very strict are you out of your mind? >:O You gotta be joking. I espouse beliefs that all Muslims, Christians (authentic ones), Buddhists, Hi...
September 26, 2016 at 23:20
Do you know what Puritanical means? It means to be against sexual enjoyment. Does it seem to you like I'm against all forms of sexual enjoyment? No - ...
September 26, 2016 at 23:09
Yes that's just a recitation of the definition of jealousy - obviously. This is not true. If after you steal my money you buy yourself a nice car, and...
September 26, 2016 at 23:07
Of course, because they have freely given themselves over to me, and have not decided they no longer want to do this yet - they haven't divorced me ob...
September 26, 2016 at 23:01
There is no such desire. There is a desire for sex okay? Now that desire can be channeled through a moral path or through an immoral one. What does a ...
September 26, 2016 at 22:59
Jealousy is what you feel when you perceive an injustice with regards to self. Anger is what you feel when you perceive an injustice with regards to o...
September 26, 2016 at 22:55
And to reduce you to absurdity - if jealousy was useless, and there was nothing good in it, then Nature would have never placed such an emotion in man...
September 26, 2016 at 22:50
Regardless of what you say - you're not justified to laugh if you hear from a credible source that your father has died for example. So emotions are -...
September 26, 2016 at 22:49
Again - nothing about being threatened here. Your words betray a liberal progressive ideology, regardless of your protests to the contrary. Jealousy i...
September 26, 2016 at 22:44
This is an outright lie. Cite where I have said that "the difference between beating your partner and committing adultery 'has no practical ramificati...
September 26, 2016 at 22:34
Based on the simple fact that less time with someone, and less focus on someone, will result in less familiarity and intimacy. Intimacy takes time to ...
September 26, 2016 at 22:14
This assumes this sort of intimacy can be developed with multiple people at the same time or one after another. I disagree. The breaks that occur from...
September 26, 2016 at 19:32
But do you recognize that her immorality is one of the factors to consider when making such a decision? Of course it's not the only one, maybe the fat...
September 26, 2016 at 18:54
Yes - they remained a bunch of hypocrites :P
September 26, 2016 at 18:35
You mean 1807? The act which was followed by enslaving Africa, the Americas, and India? :P
September 26, 2016 at 18:29
I have provided a few studies which seemed to conclude so. As I have said before I disagree - this isn't true. We live in a culture which is highly to...
September 26, 2016 at 17:24
Indeed. Legislation is just for discouraging actions which harm others. Not in order to ensure goodness - goodness isn't the absence of harm, but some...

September 26, 2016 at 13:09
Oooh you said something interesting now! It sometimes happens with you that your statements are a strange mixture of truth and falsity, such that it b...
September 26, 2016 at 13:04
Britain always pretended to find a conscience - even while enslaving the whole of Africa, brutally destroying the lives of villagers while pillaging t...
September 26, 2016 at 11:45
This is a distinction without practical ramifications - and thus a false one. If one doesn't wish to inflict that harm, then one would not do the acti...
September 26, 2016 at 10:58
It's not about what I think love is, it's about what idea of love stands to scrutiny. Loving someone and doing whatever makes them feel comfortable do...
September 26, 2016 at 10:56
That ignores aspects of oneself, and promotes degrading tendencies in the loved one - so that's really a lose-lose situation. You don't help bring out...
September 26, 2016 at 10:29
There's a difference between risking to be hurt in the name of love, and being stupid. The pragmatic prejudice (which does have a place for most conse...
September 26, 2016 at 09:41
You asked me how I would react to that and if i would forgive her. i told you how I would act - what more do you want? It was an honest response based...
