Talk Inappropriate touching by a role model

I dunno; would you want someone as a leader who puts his arm around another man's shoulder in public while engaged in conversation? What's next -- holding hands in public?

(Thanks to Digby.)

Media hype that was. The first question I had when the accuser said that inappropriate touching went on, was why so vague.

Vague for a reason. Sensationalism.

A headline in the papers or on CNN.Com like "He touched my arm so we should not confirm bishop" is just not good enough.

As for your pictures well very funny.

Side note: There is a difference though when a gay person grabs you and hugs you or gently touches your shoulders.

Much the same as when you hug put your arms around a girl who you barely know.

In fact for the most part in american norms you do not touch male on male unless it is dad or you are best buddies (briefly and within tight guidelines) or when a superior is trying to bond with the little guy. Some freaks break this rule and it makes all parties uncompfortable. (perhaps homophobia. But thems the rules.)


Now that last picture just is wrong man. Man it freaks me out. (kids in school beat that kind of behavior out of you very early on)

I do know some men who are decidedly NOT gay, but just feel comfortable hugging and such. I personally don't like it, but some guys do. Maybe George-boy thinks it is part of these people's culture or something . . .

Does Theo ever post anything but links with the sole intent of stirring things up?

Hm. No comment, don't want to stir things up. Not my way.
