Yeah, sorry about the whole slavery thing but hey, look on the bright side. At least we let you live here! USA! USA! USA!
Eh, I know there are some who still think that way, so this doesn't come as a surprise really. The fact that it is released does.

The ignorance and hatred behind these statements is simply amazing; who in their right mind would have even begun to think that these are worth publishing? If this man gets another term, I will be astounded.

I completely agree that, him, his publishers and the Republican Party who permit this are the abomination to worry about.

I know, seriously. Unfortunately, considering where I live, I hear that aaaaalllll the time. It's really, really annoying how the American people have been brainwashed into thinking that we are the best and no other nationality truly matters.

With all the current commotion around the allegations made about Jimmy Saville, and the fact that it seems to have been generally deemed far more acceptible in the past for an older man to have sex with teenage girls than it is today, it was fairly obvious that more women were going to come forward, more stories sold and more celebrities dragged into the spotlight.

I mean, I'm only (nearly) 28 so I didn't live it but it seems that a grown man sleeping with a 15 year old girl would, at one time, not have created such a fuss. I'm not claiming that it's right or proper behavior but the mindset of the general public has changed and become much, much more harsher and hostile about that kind of thing. I wonder, now that the floodgates have been opened, how many other celebrities are going to have claims made against them in the near future?
