I don't believe that sexual relationships between consenting adults is
the business of anyone other than the adults involved in the
relationship.

Try that line on your wife and see how it flies.



We agree. We're loyal to each other because we are, but we don't believe
that matters of sexuality between consenting adults should be the
business
of the law, or even the general public.

I don't give a damn who Governor Spitzer sleeps with, not even if he
sleeps with hookers, so long as he is using his own money to pay for his
fun. If he was using public funds, he should be prosecuted for that, but
not for the sex.


Well, she's one lucky woman that the great Harry Krause hasn't cheated on
her yet. Perhaps he hasn't had the opportunity.


Or the means.

Consensual - you know - both parties agree. They consent. The
standard definition. What do you think consensual means? :)


I think I'll reconsider our personal value system and encourage our
kids that:

Extramarital sex is fun and ok ..... as long as it is consensual.
Forget the vows and commitments you made to each other.
Drugs are fun and ok ..... as long as everyone in the family agrees.
Introduce your 12 year old to the pleasures.
Lying and cheating is ok .... as long as it only serves your
personal agenda.

In other words, become a Democrat.

Look at the slime he associates with and admires. It's no wonder he
has no moral or ethical foundation.



Diving back down there again, eh, Jim?

You know who I don't admire, right? I don't admire a president of the
united states who lies the country into a war with Iraq and whose lies
result in thousands being killed and seriously injured. Compared to
that, extracurricular sex seems meek.

I suspect my "morals and ethics" are on a much higher plane than your
typical conservative Republican "family values" hypocrite.


What are your morals and ethics. From what you type in this group you
are without both.


Heh heh heh.

You're right: I could never make it as a hypocritical, sexist, racist,
war-mongering right-winger.

between adults and cheating on your wife with a hired hooker.

I was discussing the legalities, and the absurdities of prosecuting adults
who engage in consensual sex. You are discussing something else entirely.
If Spitzer used only his own money to mess around, the issue should be one
only he and his family should have to resolve. If public funds are
involved, it is a different matter.



We've progressed to a society of semantics and qualifying what "it" means.
Personally, I could care less if someone hires a hooker. Big Deal.
But, I lose all respect for someone who cheats on his or her spouse in doing
so.
It has something to do with believing in commitments and honesty.

Too hard and fast. We have a president who "cheats on the public," which
is probably more significant of an offense.

I think Spitzer is suffering from some sort of personality disorder,
maybe bipolar. I'm not excusing his behavior, but it might explain his
high level of risk-taking.

Believe it or not, I'm not in the prostitution is evil camp - I don't
view it as a victimless crime, but on the other hand, it's not
something that is going to disappear from the face of the earth. I
dont' know what the answer is, but as a crime, I'm just not that sure.

However, if one is a crusading prosecuter who holds to a theoritical
high moral ground, who prosecutes and/or persecutes prostitution rings
and then uses those same services for whatever reason, then the
personal hyprocrisy is really the issue. Do as I say, not as I do
kind of issue.

Additionally, structuring payments to hide illegal activity is a crime
wether you agree that the activity is a crime or not. Transporting
prostitutes across state lines is a felony - Mann Act.

Complications arising from busting prostitution rings from one crime
family while not busting prostitution rings from a different crime
family (and this is speculation - I'm admitting it, but it is a
possibility) is the height of hubris not to mention illegal.

So it's not just all about sex - it's about crime and he committed
more than just one.

We have reached a state in this country where morals have been
replaced by ideology.

Think about that for a minute.

In effect, if one's ideology matches that of the miscreant, then one
can justify the action by using moral ambiguity as a justification.
Ideology trumps morals.

It's a sad state of affairs.

I don't know about that. The issues discussed in the Duck's link

Not illegal everywhere, and that's why most cops are smart enough to not
obsess about it. If a law enforcement agency puts a lot of attention into it
on occasion, it's almost always for some other reason.

Too hard and fast. We have a president who "cheats on the public," which
is probably more significant of an offense.

I think Spitzer is suffering from some sort of personality disorder, maybe
bipolar. I'm not excusing his behavior, but it might explain his high
level of risk-taking.


He's suffering a severe case of pompousness, combined with a dishonest
character.

Why? It's true. Ask any cop, especially in a big city where there are much
scarier things they need to deal with. They may round up hookers & johns if
they're becoming an annoyance and there are complaints from businesses &
residents. But, generally, they leave them alone.

Our paper's headline:

GOP calls on Spitzer to resign


It uses those words because they accurately describe who is calling on him
to resign.



No mention of scandal. No mention of whores.


Today's headline? If yes, there's no mention of those things because you'd
have to be living in a cave to have missed the rest of the story.


No mention of Democrats.

Consensual - you know - both parties agree. They consent. The
standard
definition. What do you think consensual means? :)


I think I'll reconsider our personal value system and encourage our
kids
that:

Extramarital sex is fun and ok ..... as long as it is consensual.
Forget
the vows and commitments you made to each other.
Drugs are fun and ok ..... as long as everyone in the family agrees.
Introduce your 12 year old to the pleasures.
Lying and cheating is ok .... as long as it only serves your
personal
agenda.

In other words, become a Democrat.

This behavior seems normal if you are a swinger like Harry. This guy
really gives me the creeps.


Are you projecting again? Why would you think I was a "swinger,"
because I am not upset by adult expressions of sexuality?
No, that's not it. I don't think you can tell the difference between
right and wrong.


Ahh, well. That's your problem, not mine.


Wrong again. It was probably back in the sixties when the oil leaked out
of your moral compass. It's been spinning out of control ever since. The
difference between you and many other people that had that problem back
then is that most of em got their compass fixed and you didn't.
And that's your problem.



You are quite the funny guy. It's always amusing when right wingers make

We agree. We're loyal to each other because we are, but we don't believe
that matters of sexuality between consenting adults should be the
business
of the law, or even the general public.

I don't give a damn who Governor Spitzer sleeps with, not even if he
sleeps with hookers, so long as he is using his own money to pay for his
fun. If he was using public funds, he should be prosecuted for that, but
not for the sex.


Well, she's one lucky woman that the great Harry Krause hasn't cheated on
her yet. Perhaps he hasn't had the opportunity.


Or the means.


Harry is the type who is also unconcerned about the fact that half of the
black females from 14-19 have an STD, or that 25% of all 14-19 year-old
females have an STD.

It's a liberal thing.
