Anyway. My response to her assessment of my political opinion and I can't remember if it was about the womans movement or the environment...anyway we really differed on the subject....
My response is that I don't really take anyone's opinion seriously until they live independently, have a job, pay their bills on time for a couple of decades, own property, pay taxes and raise a couple of kids.
Even then they will just be thresholding on the right to share their knowledge of the world and how it works.
On the above that Tal wrote, I have this to say; Sex and sexual activity has been with us for a long time and as long as our bodies continue to manufacture estrogen and testosterone there will be problems with the pesky urge. Men talk much more clearly, some call roughly about sex and women talk about feelings and social justice. Klanbreath will say that is because most men are stronger and bigger than most women. I say that what two unmarried adults do in private is not my business even if they call a certain female orifice what most Brits call their cat.
Just gassing about here. Carry on, if any shoe fits wear it.

Here is the problem with what you say. It is a personal and company problem except....
O'Reilly has the largest following on the most watched network int he land. He does not do NEWS.....he does commentary.
Based on what we read on this forum, many people listen to all his views and even tho NOT NEWS and just his opinion, they will adopt his thought quickly.
He is a very very very close friend of Donald Trump. They were clear about that during the primary season but not so clear much any more.
I think the President did himself a disservice yesterday in supporting him publicly. A comment that he would NOT comment on that because it is personal and he has other fish to fry would have worked. He now puts himself square in the middle of it, because he IS the President and HE supports O'Reilly and that is not an issue he needs to spend his time on.
As for O'Reilly himself. He is obviously an hypocrite with no bounds.
Here is the problem. There are many hypocrits on both sides of any issue, but he has a huge audience who believes he is giving NEWS and not opinion.
This is a mess for Fox, and one that promises to get messier.
