re: Don't know if Roy Moore dated teenagers when he was in his 30's, but.....

We have evolved. This practice isn't common at all these days. Surely you see that.

Allegedly he didn’t and allegedly he did.

It is not “allegedly” that he hung out in the mall. It is not allegedly that he called a girl at her high school. It is not “allegedly” that a girl told her manager at Sears he was following her and trying to get her to go out with him.

Moore saying he doesn’t remember these things are just lies.

You are correct there is not a way to prove he was aggressive. To think a person in there 30’s who would call a high school to ask a girl on a date makes me think he has does have ability to be aggressive and no regret or remorse for how women are treated.

He doesn’t understand what sexual assault or harassment is and that is why he doesn’t believe anything he did is wrong.

This is just my opinion from working in HR for many years and talking to men who don’t think/believe what they have done or said is wrong.

We can disagree on everything else but I’m glad we agree on that.

Well hell. I've repeatedly said I don't like Moore.

I'm pissed McConnel foisted him upon us.

But, that really ain't the point in regards to these accusations.

The poliboard is trying to justify sex with 16 year olds in order to defend Roy Moore, who was already a huge piece of shite well before this “scandal” came out.

Tribalism at its finest.

You're right! To hell with historical context.

Group think and mob action at its finest.

I'm glad to see you basing your opinions upon reason and fact and not some fleeting emotional nonsense.

I wonder how this whole controversy would be going right now if Roy Moore was a Muslim.

100% agree with you on both points.

As the OP on this topic, I love just throwing something out on this board and seeing where everyone takes it. Most times I don't have a strong opinion, but I'm curious as to what people think and how it relates to the issue at hand. Even though I haven't been attracted to 14 - 17 year olds since I was 14 - 17, it was obviously socially acceptable for guys 15 plus years to be in the not too distant past. A good point I've seen in a couple of the comments is how much later people mature now. In fact, society encourages later maturity. It is absurd that someone in their late 20's must be covered on their parent's health insurance.

I graduated high school in 1984 in Birmingham. My kids can't believe it when I point out things like, my school bus driver was 16 years old. He received his bus license before he ever got his normal driver's license. If you were 14, you could get a motorcycle license. When we didn't have a class or between classes, students would hang out on the school steps to smoke. There were no rules against students smoking at school and anyone could buy cigarettes from a vending machine or store. I don't remember a cut off age. I think you could buy alcohol if you were 18 a couple of years before I graduated.

With 10 times the accomplishments of Luther Strange, Doug Jones, or Mo Books.

John McCain and John Kerry has a distinguished resumes. Hillary Clinton has a long CV as well.

Don't confuse accomplishments with ability or competency, especially in politics.

If we're rolling out Moore's record, might as well include that his Foundation is a problem paying taxes. Come to think of it, Hillary also has a foundation that is surrounded by scandal and has a primary function of lining the pockets of the namesakes....
