Sarko won't be getting my vote
Well from that I can guess he did get your vote. Some very sad people on here
Sarko won't be getting my vote
Nope but I had to spend a lot of time thinking about who I was going to vote for. Events have made it less difficult for the next time. Unless retards in France vote for the FN again and I'm obligated to vote against them rather than for people I want to vote for.
I don't know about you but the fact he fed a 13 year old girl champagne and sedatives and did what he did after being told no several times and had also been asked to stop by the girl drops Polanski firmly into the ranks of child rapist (if she'd been older it would "only" have been rapist). The fact he admitted what he did but not neccesarily the details (but, it has to be added, has never objected to her version of affairs) means I'm quite comfortable calling a spade a spade here.
Be comfortable if you want, but you are also wrong. You and I may agree that he is a rapist, but he did not admit that.
Sarko won't be getting my vote at the next election ....... because he seems to think it's fine to ignore drugging and raping kids if you're an artist.
You and I may agree that he is a rapist, but he did not admit that.
Lots of people have not admitted to their crimes, prisons are full of people who have been convicted but tell all and sundry they're 'innocent'. Polanski just avoided the whole business of being convicted of his crimes by running away. Thankfully he has been caught at last.
Lots of people have not admitted to their crimes
Maybe so. I am not defending Polanski for a moment. I am just being a pedantic pain in the ass by pointing out that it is not strictly correct to call him a "self confessed rapist". He is (I believe) a rapist, and he is a self-confessed 'person who had sex with an underage girl'.
He said on French television when the story broke: 'It was an error yes, but not a crime, not even a serious mistake.
'Let anyone who has not committed this kind of mistake cast the first stone - among all the people watching this tonight, who among them has not done something like this at least once?'
Quite a few I would imagine.
Much would seem to depend on how we understand the words something like this. But I think a moderate hail of stones might reasonably be expected, yes.
To be fair I'd like to throw the first one...
Actually no.
I'll throw the first hundred
But I think a moderate hail of stones might reasonably be expected, yes.
Unless almost everyone in France has done something like that?
Perhaps the poster meant : "let he who has never found a Thai boy attractive, cast the first stone".
That should save Fred Mitterrand's neck.
lol at griz.
