@hightor,
Quote:I think the objection is to the inference that this is the behavior of a sexual predator and possibly a pedophile
You object to the fact that people might get the wrong idea when they see Joe doing what he likes to do? Sorry, but you're not in charge of how others react to what he does. He has boundary issues with girls, not boys. And he appears to have no concern whatsoever that the recipients of his sniffing, stroking, and kissing are uncomfortable with it. You, on the other hand, seem to be uncomfortable with people who bring up the visible uncomfortability of girls who have their personal space violated.
Quote: As with many seasoned politicians, the guy's been "pressing the flesh", hugging people, and kissing babies for decades.
I've already asked you to produce something that would show another politician engaging in the same level of contact with girls as Joe is seen engaging in. I'm guessing you couldn't find anything.

Now you're getting it!
Quote:Whether or not Biden can change his behavior, we can change ours. People should stop the sickening practice of proffering their children to the powerful.
Yes, that goes without saying. However, Joe could have changed his behavior if he cared to. But he must not have wanted to, for his own reasons.
Quote:And if you're the subject of unwanted physical contact make your feelings known to the perpetrator at the time.
Sure. Just because the girls and their parents are standing there on the world stage with the vice president with cameras rolling doesn't mean they shouldn't stop everything and remove Joe's hands from their daughters. Sure.
