Isn't the fact that he got a blowjob from a different intern relevant as evidence in that case?
No. If the case was about harassment, they should prove the harassment. The problem is, the case was about embarrassing Clinton at all cost.
Unfortunately this kind of low politics is arriving in Europe. And what's even more surprising, in France! The multiple Dominique Strauss-Khan scandals are nothing but politically motivated attacks. Let me enumerate:
1. The supposed rape case in the US had zero credibility and was dismissed, but only after DSK's reputation was destroyed and he was replaced by one of Sarkozy's minions as president of IMF.
2. Information leaked from the Ministry of Interior about DSK having been identified by the police in a routine check near the Bois de Boulogne park, a place used for sexual encounters. The media forgot to mention that walking near the park is not illegal, and it's a felony to leak data about any citizen being identified by the police in any place, when only minding his own business.
3. DSK was once again arrested for participating in orgies in the USA. I find it ridiculous that someone can be arrested in France for something like that. It's obviously character assassination, as if the man is not assassinated enough.
Disclaimer: I don't like Clinton or DSK, their parties, or their policies.
Nicolas Sarkozy brought the shit-slinging politics to Europe. The Western Civilisation doesn't have a chance when the private life of politicians becomes more important than than their policies.
Company-mandated drug and alcohol tests are illegal my country, except for a few professions, like cop, trucker or pilot, for obvious reasons. When you talk about those things I always wonder why so many Americans feel so smug because their country has more "liberty" than mine. It seems your so boasted "liberty" is the liberty for the rich and powerful to make other people's lives miserable at their whims.
You seem to live in a Corporate dystopia and feel like it's normal. Companies have absolutely no right to stick their nose in what you do outside business hours. It's not their business if you're gay, drink or smoke joints, have mistresses, belong to any club, organisation or religion, etc. Here in Europe we consider our private life to be sacred.
And we really don't give a fuck if politicians do these things, unless they're hypocritical right-wing sanctimonious pricks, of course. We're more concerned that they might be corrupt, which is what really matters for their jobs, not if they love pussy or beer.
If you do your work right, why the fuck should your employer mind what you do at home?
Spending money in useless shit won't do anything for the economy. Actually, it does worse since it increases debt and also feeds parasites, making them stronger.
Few "creationists", though, deny the scientific statement "evolution occurs" as a causal statement affecting biology. They tend to deny the untestable, unscientific hypothesis "only evolution occurs".
Nice try. Creationists say evolution is wrong because it contradicts what's written in their Holy Book. Are you REALLY trying to equate that with controversy among scientist??? According to you, creationists do not defend that "evolution does not exist". They just defend that "not only evolution exists". Even if it was true, what is the other thing that "exists"? Do you have any scientific argument to present here or you feel happy just by trolling?
Since you asked, the evidence that an iPad works is directly observable, while evolution requires-- if you'll excuse the layman's term-- "faith" in experts, as the cause and effect are not directly observable.
So, what separates both is the amount of... thinking? Thank you for confirming that creationists are brain dead retards.
Even the extremely conservative Roman Catholic Church officially recognises evolution. Here in Europe most people never heard about the Creationism stupidity in their lives. Only in the USA and a few Muslim countries you can find batshit religious fanatics trying to push that shit around, and being taken seriously.
seem even interested in denying is origins (both cosmological and biological), and some bits of mostly reproduction-related biology -- none of which has a bloody thing to do with smartphones and tablets.
If you deny the scientific facts about evolution how can you accept them about electricity and magnetism? Creationists should eat their own dog food and live like in the Middle Ages.
Err, the vast majority of a given population back then couldn't read, so on what rational basis would that concern be placed
The ministers were afraid people would become curious with all those pretty printed symbols and tried to learn how to read them. Then they'd lose their minister jobs. Ignorance and superstition are close friends.
I don't need anything, anyway, and if I did I don't have money. They can stuff their coupons up their asses.
Why is so much money spent in shit like this? I can think of many uses for these chips that would make people's life better. How come the first thing that comes up is targeted advertising?
As an engineer, I find the Titanic tragedy to be the perfect monument to human hubris. They said the ship was unsinkable, so they didn't supply enough life-saving boats for all the passengers. Can it get any better?
I get lots of post censored in forums here in the Good Ole West, although they don't violate any of the website rules. They're deleted simply because they're politically controversial. Fortunately, that doesn't happen in Slashdot. Yet.
I don't use Facebook, but some friends have reported having content disappear although it was perfectly legitimate, just because it wasn't politically convenient.
Not mentioning newspapers and TVs sweeping inconvenient news under the rug while blasting the convenient ones.
Welcome to soft censorship by the oligarchy. The difference is that we have elections, so we can choose which of the clowns will be executing the oligarchy's policies the next years.
No wonder food tastes bad with so many stinking, sweaty feet in the plane. I wonder, why on earth would anyone want to load 30.000 feet aboard a plane?
That's why I steer with my left knee while holding cell phone and a sandwich. It's hard to engage gears, but I'm training to push the clutch with my right foot.

Wooooooosh!
We've had enough being fucked, thank you. Please go fuck yourself.
I guess that leaves the byte tax for Ireland.
No problem. But if they create a litre tax in Ireland there will be a civil war!

Catholics have been doing that "sign of the cross" thing for millennia. Now they can do it on their iPads!

Maybe the latter is a consequence of the former?

WOW! Chewbacca defense!
I'm not sure this law is necessary. Isn't that practice unconstitutional?
Just call it The Great Apple and you're done.
Oh, shit. I forgot it may offend those who don't believe the Adam and Eve story, or the People for the Ethical Treatment of Vegetables!
Don't you Americans have better things to waste your time with?
Wow. So much anger. Did I hit a nerve? Get a cold shower.
You don't even know what my views are, why are you calling them idiotic? Trolling jerk.

Now, where were we? China?

I dare you to buy an automatic in Portugal. Almost only luxury cars have that option. Fortunately, it's slowly changing...
I'm pretty sure this is illegal. At least in any civilised country. Like here in Europe.
Don't tell me you live in Portugal!
