I've been wondering all along what the women concerned would have to say.

Would you admit to sleeping with him?

It's Obama's fault.

I really think this is a non-issue. If it was a problem, someone would have spoken up by now. Bill survived Monica, Dave will survive.

Why are Americans so afraid of sex?

ETR3(SS) · 10-03-09, 12:27 PM

Because our country was founded by a bunch of prudes. Makes you wonder how we manage to sustain a population with this stance to all things sexual. Except for Benjamin Franklin, he was an 18th century party animal.

Basically the reason that ETR3 posted... combined with their crazy beliefs surrounding religion and their self-proclaimed "morality".

I quite frankly do not nor will I ever care. This is between Dave, the employee, and his supervisor; not us- or anybody else for that matter. Nevertheless, people like to stick their nose into other people's business because they think they need to know EVERYTHING that goes on in the lives of others... for that matter, they're hypocritical in doing so. As if they've never had adulterous thoughts- or even an affair (the latter being the more "serious" of the two by general opinion, but if they're both "immoral" then they would as well be equally serious). You might as well tell me that you've never lied before.

There are no saints, there are no morals or ethics in the real world, and there never will be. Because people always differ from one another, and it's all a matter of personal opinion in the end; if so-and-so's conduct is acceptable or not for instance. Members of societies the world over like to (and always have liked to) draw ourselves into the illusion that this is not so, but it's nothing more than that: an illusion.

And yes, Franklin was a party animal. He would have been awesome to hang around with.

Someone had sex?

Seriously calm down lads, sex is something to be enjoyed not be afraid of.

Platapus · 10-03-09, 06:20 PM

Oh we enjoy sex here in America, but god forbid you talk about it on TV

Here in the US we like to shelter our children. It is much better to expose our children to violence, intolerance, excessive consumption, and poor role models. That's ok, but you better not expose our children to a nipple slip! That might warp their impressionable minds!!!

To me there seems to be some sort of a weird double standard regarding sex in the states, as to the best of my knowledge they have the worlds largest porn industry. Also what Platapus said, that never made any sense to me.

I just mean I wanted to know whether it was consensual (if I really cared, that is). Of course, every interaction with your boss (sexual or other) is never among equals.
If I were bothered at all (I ain't), it would rather be because of some shady extortionist who tries to create public moral outrage out of a case in which he wasn't even remotely personally involved (I suppose) so that he can rake in the money. The epitome of hypocrisy.
Letterman is perfectly entitled to expose such a git to ridicule.
