    You are missing the point where a man with the most powerful position on the planet, more than twice the woman’s age, made her feel special by the attention that he gave her at 22 years of age. The human brain is not fully matured until at least 25.

    Having that big of a power difference and age difference is huge.

    And you missed the point where he broke his promise to his wife and she broke no promise. You don’t know what bill told her what his deal with Hillary was. So why judge her for a crime that she didn’t commit?

    Edit: I forgot to mention, as the fucking president of a country, he has the responsibility to be a role model. He should display his good “christian” morals and not break the 10 commandments.

      It’s fair to say that Clinton wasn’t a good role model and broke his oath to his wife (so long as they weren’t in an open relationship, which I doubt they were).

      Concerning the age difference: I think this is where we have a disagreement. Even if the brain is still developing at 22, a 22 year old is an adult. If you make a bad decision as an adult, I don’t think the excuse that your brain is still developing holds. Monica isn’t being judged for a crime (at least as far as DC law goes), but she’s being socially judged for being with a married man sexually, which we know is wrong in our culture.
