Why Do We Accept Weakness

No it isn't.. not everyone has exactly the same view on what is good versus what is bad. There's lots of grey area there for many.

Much was made about Clinton and his affairs, even tho it wasn't the business of you or anyone other than his wife. I'd much rather see ten Clintons than one more bush who completely invaded another country without justification, sent the troops ill equipped and unprepared, caused the deaths of 4500 of them, countless Iraqi civilians and trillions of dollars wasted.

Where's the thread about that?

You forgot to mention the huge profits he and his buddies made from it.

There's so much dumb in there it's not worth discussing.
 
It is fairly certain that Hitler was impotent when he married. All the drugs he was taking at the last days would have made him so.
 
"Accept" ?

Weakness is a natural facet of the human condition...

...who the fvck fried your mind?

I know we're weak. But I also think we have the capacity to resist weakness. I read a quote by a philosopher railing against God for making us weak, but requiring us to be good. Paraphrasing; If You forgive all the little tricks I played on You, I'll forgive the great big trick You played on me.
 
Bill Clinton and Martin Luther King, Jr. were men who did great things despite their infidelity. Their infidelity does not nullify their achievements.
So you're comfortable with a double standard? That's a selfish attitude that changes depending upon how close you are to that person. I'm pretty proud of the good things I've done for my community and my family. I still think my wife would hit me upside the head with a frying pan if she found out I had some strange on the side. Not that it matters, but you have to wonder why these people do "great things". They don't do it altruistically. They are narcissists and they do them for their own aggrandizement. They don't give a shit about the peons. They care about their next hummer.

So every soldier is as bad as a mass murderer?

Who the fuck cares?

Are you jealous?
 
Why do we still elevate men who cheat on their wives. Men like Bill Clinton and Martin Luther King, Jr. are held in such high regard despite their un-faithfuness to their women. Why do we think that that would be honest with us when they couldn't be honest with their women? Why are we willing to simply overlook this? I know bill went through hell for his dalliance, but now, it's all good. It wasn't talked about much in MLK's day. Being a reverend, I wonder how he reconciled his behavior. You don't HAVE to give in to weakness, you know. I'm just a schmo, and I couldn't find time to have an affair even if I wanted to. Where do these big shots find the time? I mean, these were important, apparently busy men. I don't get it.

Back in the day Ronald Reagan was known as a starlet a week guy. He was our first president to be divorced from his first wife. None of that mattered to his cult followers.

Do what are you doing on a pornographic web site? :confused:

Does your wife know you post here? :eek:
 
Did Hitler cheat? I have no idea but I don't think he would have had any ethical dilemmas with it.

Hitler didn't get married to his mistress Eva Braun until April 29,1945 while Russian troops were attacking Berlin. The next day Eva and Adolf committed suicide,Eva biting a cyanide vial and Hitler biting one then shooting himself in the head with a 7.62 mm Walther pistol. So no Hitler did not cheat.

If you weren't so weak...

...you'd have stronger sense to read less.
