yeah righto i wasn't trying to say that, i thought that referring to them by colour was what he was taking issue with. also fix your fake accent before getting smug, that's a saffer one you're using

yeah it's a subtle thing. like how it's okay to say "a chinese person" but not "a chinese."

also, would "the blecks" be closer?

I couldn't think of a better thread for this.

A veteran political reporter wrote this.

Just unbelievable. "...and no allowance for a moral leader to do something immoral without being proved a rank hypocrite..." is actually a thing this guy thinks is a bad thing. The idea that politicians should get to have private lives and mistresses in those private lives is a plague on any country with pretensions to a popular vote. I'm not saying hound people out of politics for having a mistress (or a mister) but if you've got something scandalous going on you owe it to the people voting to be upfront about it. Remember that rear end in a top hat John Edwards?

Speaking of which, is anyone else bothered by the fact that the Clinton-Lewinsky affair was all about it being extramarital sex instead of being about sexual assault of an intern? Or is it that interns do not apply under labor laws, so she would not have a case? Still hosed up, though. He gets to be Good Old Boy Clinton with his foundations and global this and that, and she gets to have this haunt her to this day, with no recourse.

Whoa it's almost like theres a kind of double standard w/r/t sexuality for the genders.

But is your assertion that sex between people of unequal social, economic or political standing cannot be consensual?

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

It's not particularly consensual when one can fire the other.

I think that when someone is in a position of authority over another, then consent is very dubious. And when you're interning for the President, I would say that they are in a position of authority over you.

I'm not sure "falling under the gaze of a literal slobbering cartoon wolf" counts as a social niche but if it does go for it

More like one is a literal chattel slave and the other is an intern, which while we make jokes about it being akin to slavery, are in fact not even in the same conceptual galaxy.
