@suzianne saidHear, hear !
A little history for you:
The Treaty of Versailles, made in 1919 at the end of the First World War, was intended to make a lasting peace. Many people felt that the Treaty had caused terrible resentment in Germany on which Hitler had been able to play in order to achieve power. The government believed that Hitler and Germany had genuine grievances, but that if these could ...[text shortened]... an inch, and he'll take a mile"?
Putin cannot have the Ukraine. Some people learn from the past.
Appeasement is a bad policy when confronting a territorially acquisitive dictator.
@metal-brain saidYou have an utterly twisted notion of what constitutes consent under duress.
Yes, but those women still had a choice. They could have refused his advances. Women have done that before and he was okay with it. Be honest, do you really think he had to resort to rape?
I think what really happened is women who didn't really want to have sex with him did so anyway because they thought it would help their career. Then instead of owning up to their ow ...[text shortened]... ual no matter how much they didn't like letting him climb all over her in hopes of a good film part.
By your logic, when a prison guard abuses a prisoner, all the prisoner has to do is say 'no', and if he doesn't then the guard has secured all the 'consent' he needs.
How is it that you're consistently on the least tenable side of every issue? Oh, I remember now. You're a troll. It's what trolls do.
@metal-brain saidDidn't he? What else do you call holding a woman's career in his hands, threatening her with ruining it?
@moonbus
You are being ridiculous. Weinstein never held any woman prisoner.
-Removed-She could be president if she wanted to.
She doesn't want to. She doesn't measure success by the same things men do. She saw what little concern the public had for her family when her husband was in the White House. Every black family on the planet understands the devastation and disrespect caused by racism. She is adamant about protecting her family from that. The Obamas are so over it. Good for her.
@metal-brain saidThat you protect this scum tells us all more about you than we care to know. I bet you thought Cosby was innocent, too.
Are you saying women had no choice but to have sex with him?
When did Harvey ever threaten to ruin a woman's career?
@suzianne saidI have been quitting jobs for most of my life. If I can do it any fairly attractive woman can do it. If I felt sorry for them I would have to feel sorry for myself. Instead of wining about it why don't you women just switch jobs to show you will not put up with crap?

Attractive women are advantaged in many ways. They get better jobs and make more money than unattractive women. Do you really think I am stupid enough to believe they cannot get another job easily enough? Stop it with your pathetic pity party.
@metal-brain saidYou are quite the Neanderthal dim bulb, aren't you? No wonder you can't get a date.

@metal-brain saidHe knows the Chinese won’t take any of his crap, a fifth column like the ‘freedom caucus’ would. Last about zero minutes in China. His concern will be how long before Russia becomes a massive belt and road project for China on its way to Europe.
Why don't you just claim Putin is planning to take over the world? That is not much sillier.
What Putin wants is the re enslavement of east and Central Europe and a very nervous and pliable Western Europe.
Anyone stupid or disingenuous enough to think / claim this war ends if the US stops supporting Ukraine can go and copulate with themselves.
@metal-brain saidI cannot remember the name of the film but the child rapist / murderer complained that if the child had run faster he would not be in the dock so she should be apportioned a lot if the blame for her own rape and murder.

@metal-brain saidA woman should not have to quit a job in order not to put up with such crap, you idiot! Her boss/producer had no call to put a prospective starlet in a position to have to 'consent' to an inappropriate sexual advance in order to get/keep her job. What part of “duress” don’t you understand ? One too many syllables ?

Weinstein should not have been making sexual advances to prospective stars at all. Get it now? It is totally unacceptable behavior in the workplace.
@moonbus saidI should not have to put up with jerks at work either. No person should ever have to quit a job in order not to put up with such crap, but the people that do enable jerks to keep being jerks. If everyone quit working for jerks there would be less cads pulling that crap.

Higher ups should be jerks at all. It is totally unacceptable behavior in the workplace.
