This is getting ridiculous. He acknowledged, apologized, promised to mend his way. Let it go already( unless you are a hardened Barnie supporter I guess).

Bingo?! Not one woman has claimed Biden did anything more than invade their personal space.

Just stop it already.

You could be an omniscient narrator. Do you have a Ph.D. in the Sociology of Literary Studies as well?

WTF! Bingo? Have u not had your "Glasnost and Perestroika" phase in your life? Stop being a bubble-dwelling hypocrite, Reza. You undermine your education, your exposure & most importantly your empathy from your life journey.

Nope. Norms have changed: people used to smoke ANYWHERE ... today? NOPE Norms have changed: cities didn't use to pay attention to access for disabled AND PLEASE: Stop lumping in rape/assault/denial of promotions ect ... to unpleasant experiences. It diminishes #MeToo

Look, what Biden is accused of is creepy but nothing like trump so while we should hold Biden to his word to change his behavior he's literally light-years better than twittler.

From here on out, it'll be fun to see how cautious Biden becomes with personal boundaries, only shaking hands with babies etc.

Harvey Weinstein blamed coming of age in the 1970s for his rape allegations. Being a product of your era is a poor defense. Biden should know that. And since he wears the ash on his head annually, Biden should try and "Abstain from even the appearance of evil."

So what's your point? Yeah, people used to get away with shit that we've moved past. You have to judge conduct in its actual context. You can't move the f$#@ng goal posts retroactively. We all have conduct in the past we wouldn't do now. I used to use the term "retarded".

But we shouldn't lump Biden in with people like Trump. I personally find his behavior a bit weird but it is important to draw distinctions.

You're better than this. I hope.

You are wrong here - norms have changed in all sorts of ways. None of the women in this case have said there was anything sexual about it. Just get a grip and stop conflating real issues of sexual predatory behavior with being uncomfortable. I am uncomfortable on the subway daily

Bullshit

When will the barbaric, oppressive Islamic norms change, Reza?
