Hi,
Quote:It is well known that the US as a whole has higher moral standards than the rest of the world. We're happy to be that way!
That would be double standards then? Given that e.g. the US is the country producing 95% of the world's hardcore porn.
Sorry, really, that whole stuff and quite some other puritan-sex-related hang-ups within the US is, from a European's vantage point , not morals as in "ethical", it's morals as in "childishly priggish" and comes over as rather immature.
How any nation could tolerate for even one day the persecution of their president for having a little on the side is really beyond most here.
Quote:My opinion has always been, that when you are in public office, you are held to a higher standard!
I agree - up to a point. That quite simply doesn't include the sex-life of that person for me. I vote for a politician and his agenda, I don't vote for his d**g to be general business of everone.
As to morals - I accept the prez of a country falling over a case of embezzling money, or being bought by lobbyists, or something like Watergate, or creating a war through outright lies (you had two of those quite recently), but not over a blow-job or a mistress.
What I find interesting is that it always were the epicurean presidents of the US who did a lot of good, whereas the priggish ones ended up creating blood and tears.
