The jig's up, folks. This ain't no government. This here be a police state governed by the elite who will use every opportunity to further its gains by tightening its control over normal, hard-working citizens. And you thought it was a democracy diligently working to further the lives of ordinary folk like they taught you in school, a school whose system was set up by Rockefeller and JP Morgan. FOOLED AGAIN.

Let me ask you something- do you have affairs with people in your house while you are married to someone else? Got another one for you- Do you like to grope women who are your subordinates at work, and then laugh in their face because you know they can't do anything about it? I couldn't give a rat's ass whether it's about a politician or a homeless guy, simply having affairs (not necessarily a bad thing in all cases) isn't really the point.

Yeah, but getting plastered in a club with a bunch of rowdies and getting friendly with fellow men doesn't compare with being fully cognizant and banging someone in your own home under the nose of your wife.

Is anyone actually surprised? Anyone who's been to frat parties and is familiar with jock culture could see this type of thing happening miles away. The French dude just goes to show that the moneyed classes aren't too different when comes to using your position to take advantage of others.

Often these girls are "encouraged" to engage in certain extracurricular activities in order to raise their standing in the gravure world. Saying she wasn't able to find true love could be code for having become thoroughly disillusioned after becoming used and exploited.

If you get to know a variety of Japanese people across a broad economic and social spectrum, you'll find out that their silence (including their view of America and its military bases) does not indicate being "happy with what you're doing"

Posted in: Chinese man appeals death sentence for 116 rapes See in context
Face it, rape is a big taboo, and as such, holds an irrestible allure for those into breaking rules. I even once had a girlfriend who sometimes got some kinda rush from feigning to be raped during our lovemaking. Everyone knows it holds a prominent place in pornography, and may factor into the human psyche in some very basic, primal way that a lot of us are uncomfortable admitting. Is there a huge divide from this part of consiousness and wanting to have someone you see on a train? The actual implementation of taking action to realize this fantasy is a big step, but we all have "impure" thoughts.

@SuperLib "Iraq is so much better off without Saddam. Disagreement with that is just choosing sides and not being true to the facts."
So easy for you to type those words into a keyboard. Try talking to an Iraqi refugee family (who make up part of the 4 million who have been displaced by the war)whose patriarch was killed in the conflict. With no breadwinner (Iraqi women traditionally remain at home)the family is left to scrape by on their own or with other families living a miserably precarious hand-to-mouth existence.
