Growing up I remember Fred Sanford going off on the fat white guy and laughing my ### off. Still do, fat/white and all. Archie Bunker, the Jeffersons, and the standup comedians were halarious. And no one got offended. Amazing how far we have fallen.

writers for Sanford and Son. It came on yesterday and I watched it. The show was all about ragging some fat lady that was staying at their house. Fred just cracked fat jokes the whole episode Even that wouldn't fly today.

One nice thing about #### Van Dyke's character in Mary Poppins is the way he didn't attack women.
"Oh, it's a jolly holiday with you, Bert Gentlemen like you are few Though you're just a diamond in the rough, Bert Underneath, your blood is blue
"You'd never think of pressing your advantage Forbearance if the hallmark of your creed A lady needn't fear when you are near Your sweet gentility is crystal clear
"Oh, it's a jolly holiday with you, Bert A jolly, jolly holiday with you"

The picture is obviously photo shopped/doctored. How about this one? She was faking like she was asleep and they were both in on the joke. Now she is blackmailing him because she is a conservative. Or....Why did she wait so long to come out? Maybe this one... He isn't even touching her. It's just the angle of the picture and it's just military locker room humor.

Yeah what man hasn't ever touched a woman inappropriately. Maybe misreading the signs she was given off, etc.
I'd be jailed for kissing a girl on a third date. I came up behind her, grabbed her for a kiss but stopped when she pulled away. I didn't try for a fourth date, she was moving much to slow for me. LOL

But I've never groped a woman's breasts without consent while they are sleeping (or awake for that matter).
I suppose maybe I didn't know that was OK?
Seriously, there are better hills on which to make your stand than to try and excuse this particular behavior.

I wasn't speaking about the OP specifically. I'm speaking in general.
No, I've never grabbed a womans breasts.
But, i have grabbed one for a kiss. And nowadays, thats probably sexual assault according to some women.

are exactly the same thing. Or do you have a pic of Trump grabbing a handfull of crotch while a woman was asleep? If you do, my apologies, the two situations are indeed analogous.

Nov 16, 2017, 2:49 PM

And nor am I claiming that legally it is the same.
I'm on record as saying Al's actions aren't ok. They are actually criminal, and he deserves every bit of scorn coming his way.
But it is strange, to me, to hear folks calling for his job (which in itself is completely understandable, and I might even agree with) and glossing over the claims Trump himself made about groping women.
And this isn't "whataboutism". I am not, in the slightest, defending Al here. His actions were wrong, period.

Let's go back to the high school days......
Nov 16, 2017, 3:00 PM
|

this seems appropriate for this analogy, as it seems about the point where Trump's maturity process ended. Anyway, in high school, I'm willing to bet that you, and most of the guys you know, only wished they could have actually done 50% of the things that they claimed to with girls. That was the case in my high school.
That's what Trump's claims felt like. It's low-class....it's sophomoric....it's immature.....it's not sexual assault unless there's some proof those things actually happened. Examining something with a modicum of objectivity isn't "glossing over" the topic.

[ in reply to Criminal? As in getting arrested, going to jail, having a ] |

or not even in public view....if a cop catches you taking a leak between cars up against a wall, you're still done for if he want to bust you. You get printed up on the sexoffender list, as illogical as that is.
This Franken guy knowingly posed for this picture with a big grin on his face. That's pretty humiliating and degrading to the woman. Although I don't think he touched her, he sure made it look like he was. And that's pretty damning stuff. Way worse than being taped without your knowledge talking "man-conquest" trash.
I DO wonder why/how somebody sleeps with a buckled army helmet on, that seems very strange.

I know a guy from high school who got busted for it
Nov 16, 2017, 4:08 PM
|
|
one long-ago Friday/Sat night, he was driving home from a local tavern, but got stopped on the highway on a country road because of a wreck up ahead of him (along with several other folks). Well, the call of nature hit him, and he headed off toward the woods. A cop saw him and asked him what he was doing, and to return to his vehicle. He told the truth, and continued his quest for relief. An argument ensued, and shortly thereafter he was arrested and later booked for public urination.
And yeah, he had to register on the sex offender roll. I've lost touch with him so I don't know if he is still on it, but I know for a fact he was on it at one time. For taking a whiz in the woods.

I've got no problem with the ticket, or the fine
Nov 17, 2017, 11:16 AM
|

which was negated when I showed the judge my new fire extinguisher. I was 100% guilty--I had an expired fire extinguisher on my boat.
The problem I have is that it is classified as a "crime" (not a misdemeanor, or felony, but a crime) on a SC SLED check, and I have to list it every time I apply for a job. If I don't, and it comes back on the search, I can be immediately disqualified because I have lied on the application. Also, because it was written by a SC DNR, by law, it cannot be expunged from my record. I've tried.
So a 16 year old offense that was written on a uniform traffic ticket that essentially had no fine comes back as an offense every time I get a SLED check, and will for the rest of my life.
