    Call me old-fashioned but I would consider a woman over a decade older than me trying it on with a woman in her early twenties or late teens equally distasteful.

    However, I keep forgetting that the USA has odd views on age differences in relationships. Hence the laws that permit twelve year olds to be married and the instance of a fourteen year bride being married off to a seventy four year old man.

    Based on that example even if the actress was only fifteen, Rudy, at seventy-six, would have been within the right age bracket
    I'm saying your opinion of Distasteful is about as relevant as a conservative believing your relationships as a gay woman are "distasteful".

      The actress is 24 and has the face and body of a 24-year old. There is no way at all that Giuliani or any other man could have mistaken her for a teenager.

        I have no idea if Guiliani realised how old his female interlocutor was - I have yet to see the movie. However, all these male [and it is predominantly from men] assertions that a younger woman could not be mistaken for an older woman ignores the very real facts of life.

        I do not know how American bars and clubs ascertain the ages of their clientele; however, I do know from my British female friends that when they were fifteen or sixteen and and underage it was perfectly possible to make themselves look old enough to gain admittance to, and get served, in bars [legal age limit 18].

          It is valid as my opinion, just as a conservative's opinion on gay relationships is valid as their opinion. Neither of our views of course should be assumed to be set in stone and forcibly applied across society.

              You completely mis-stated what they claimed. They claimed that this person would not pass for 15, not the other way around.

                I gotta say though, your anti-americanism is showing again.

                    Thanks, hadn't heard about that. Let's go look.

                    ACORN filmmaker James O’Keefe sentenced in Sen. Mary Landrieu break-in
                    .
                    Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe was sentenced to three years of probation, 100 hours of community service and a $1,500 fine after he pleaded guilty on Wednesday to misdemeanor charges stemming from his involvement in a break-in at Sen. Mary Landrieu’s (D-La.) office.

                    In January, O’Keefe and three others were arrested by federal authorities at Landrieu’s office on allegations of phone-tampering.

                    Nope, that doesn't seem to be it.

                    Florida bars Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe from fundraising due to criminal conviction
                    .
                    James O’Keefe, the conservative founder of a charity that specializes in undercover videos targeting journalists and liberals, has been personally barred from seeking donations in Florida due to his criminal record, officials said.

                    Dang, where is this thing.

                    A woman approached The Post with dramatic — and false — tale about Roy Moore. She appears to be part of undercover sting operation.
                    .
                    The Post did not publish an article based on her unsubstantiated account. When Post reporters confronted her with inconsistencies in her story and an Internet posting that raised doubts about her motivations, she insisted that she was not working with any organization that targets journalists.

                    But on Monday morning, Post reporters saw her walking into the New York offices of Project Veritas, an organization that targets the mainstream news media and left-leaning groups. The organization sets up undercover “stings” that involve using false cover stories and covert video recordings meant to expose what the group says is media bias.

                    Okay, I give up.

                    Not finding anyone charging him with fraud, Barbra.

                    You sure you've got your facts straight?

                      It's not what I would call distractingly attractive.

                        Personally, I have never in my life seen a 15-year old that could be mistaken for a 24-year old, or a 24-year old that could be mistaken for 15. There is a distinct physical difference between adult women and young girls. 15 or 16 passing as 18? Sure. But 24? No way.

                          I remember seeing a 50+ year old woman who could pass for 18. It is extremely uncommon though.

                            Meanwhile, Hunter Biden's laptop had undressed underage girls (I understand that you have no problem with that, but most people do), one of which it sounds like according to some reports, may be a Biden family member (given the age/timing, likely his niece, if true.)
                            I'm curious if you can substantiate this claim about the laptop (you can't).

                            And I watched most of the movie last night. I found it pretty entertaining and relatively well made. Obviously the script is pretty contrived since they had to write it around the gags they pulled off but the acting was pretty good during the conversational parts which weren't spoken in English. My copy didn't have subtitles so I assume we're supposed to generally infer what they said based on their performance which was pretty well communicated. Are there supposed to be subtitles for those parts?

                              Given that you just made clear your mind is firmly made up, your first two words are clearly untrue. It's also clear there is little reason to discourse further with you.

                                My mind is made up due to the lack of evidence. If evidence of child porn is presented then I will change my mind. Hope that helps.
