I prefer the belief that peace is worth the extra effort and sacrifice it takes to sustain rather than resorting to bloodshed.
amen to that Brother!
But seriously you guys have no problems when politicians invoke god to explain or justify their actions...
that's how 99% of the worst killings have started (from the crusades to now the middle east situation)
it's always because god told me my religion is better so therefore you must join me or die!!

You've actually just posted the only legitimate reason I've heard for anyone going after him for getting a bj. It may have actually succeeded if Star used that tactic instead of going for the mother lode of High Crimes and Misdemeanors.

I knew this would open up a mine field in here.
Look, many of you disagree with me on this... the man (or woman, should that ever happen) to be the head of this country should be someone who is faithful to their commitments. The office of the president is not simple a "job" like someone writing code. If you don't believe that, than I think you're pretty ignorant. A president who cheates on his wife in the oval office is not someone worthy of that office. I have the same belief for others in positions of service and power such as politicians, clergy, etc.

I agree...religion should never be an excuse to hurt or kill someone. It's pitiful. Basically, that's placing the responsibility of the decision on someone else when you are actually the responsible party.

What sucks about that is that no one honest will EVER run for office because honest people can't gain the power that liars can. You tell the truth, which often sucks, and you're going to be voted out for someone who can lie and make everything sound good.
So what are you left with? You have to choose the "lesser of the evils", as the saying goes.

QuoteHow about the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, Title VII of the act, which prohibits employers from...
The challenge was with regards to the adultery, and sex in the White House. Not Employer/employee relations. But yes you are correct. He did violate that. But, you are incorrect about the peasants that don't get away with it. I've known many that have, and only one that got busted. Happens all the time in the real world.

Quote60% of men cheat on their wife. Are you going to tell me that no republicans currently in office have? And what happened to your spiel about being human, making mistakes, learning from your mistakes and being given the opportunity to move on?
First of all, I'm not saying that any republican hasn't cheated on his wife. If they have, it's despicable. If it occurs in the same context as slick willy, then they should be accountable for.
second of all, you seem real keen on this whole hypocrisy thing. My "spiel" about making mistakes and being human is not negated, altered, or any way discredited. If you make a mistake/sin/commit a crime, yes, you can be forgiven/pardoned/excused whatever. But you should also pay the consequences for your actions as well. Forgiveness and "letting someone move on" has nothing to do w/ someone paying the price for their mistakes/errors/transgressions. He did something in the oval office that most people find unconscionable (sp?) and then lied about it. Yeah, he's moved on, yeah he's apologized. Fine... but he got what he diserved in inpeachment too...

Actually, nobody killed more people than Mao and Stalin. ol Pot only killed a couple million. Between those three, tens of millions (some say over 100 million, but I think that's exaggerated) of people were killed.
unless you define communisms as a religion (for which I find there to be legitimate arguments) they weren't for religious purposes.
My wife is hotter than your wife.

QuoteIt's really pretty sad when the leader of a nation allows his religous beliefs to cloud his judgment -- particlulary when that man is commander in chief of the world's most powerful military, and holder of the world's greatest cache of WMDs...
Well said, Frank. Everytime I get pissed off with that nimrod I go to the following site.
Makes me feel much better.

again, his job isn't just a job... his actions directly and indirectly affect millions and millions of people. I don't give a DAMN if he gets bj's the rest of his life by evey fat intern he can find. But not when he is an elected servant, a man for the people. it's somewhat akin to sports stars... they are role models. they are people of influence and are held to a high standard. don't like it? tough...

He's a politician. I expect him to lie. Politicians sometimes need to do that to get the job done right. Is that ideal? Hell no. But, it works. Do you really think GW is the sparkling boy of truthfulness?
And for his relationship with his wife. That is between the two of them. How would you like it if your boss started telling you what you and your wife could/couldn't do? Being president is a job... the pay sucks for the work, but he gets a nice house for 4 years.
