The whole thing is just batpoop crazy. Exercising common sense is evil.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The whole thing is just batpoop crazy. Exercising common sense is evil.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

I bet a bunch of people in Hollywood wished they had lived by Pence's rule.

...And I guess you never heard of any false accusations of sexual harassment and rape before either? I am sure Rogue will be along shortly and repost his list of them for you if you haven't.

I've seen some recent photos of Keanu Reeves standing for photos with female fans, and while he has his arm around them, you can clearly see him keeping his hand from any actual physical contact.
I wonder if this, too, would be seen as simply objectifying them.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

I think it's a generally wise rule but personally think it's good to be willing to make reasonable exceptions on a case-by-case basis. Once, my wife asked me to pick up another woman in our church from the hospital to take her home, since there was nobody else available to drive that morning. I think refusing on the basis of the Billy Graham rule and leaving her stranded there would have been unloving (not to mention silly since it was my own wife asking me to do it!)"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Anywho... It just seems strange that those on the left have so many objections to "the Billy Graham Rule." It's almost like they're mad that the majority of those ensnared in the #MeToo movement were prominent liberals and want conservative men to put themselves into potentially compromising situations so they can face more accusations

I guess that means Joe Biden is showing his respect by smelling their hair and giving them shoulder rubs then.Last edited by Sparko; 06-14-2019, 12:38 PM.
