Ma must have nothing to apologize for, which is why he did it again today and why even blue papers such as the China Post are calling it a blunder. I am sure that, if we just knew the nitty-gritty details of the case, we would know how molesting a 3-year-old is justifiable under the right circumstances. <br /><br />Meh! Pick your battles more wisely, Herman. I doubt you will get a sympathetic ear over this one.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552370490869601403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-60630674874099370792011-04-03T05:07:46.018+08:002011-04-03T05:07:46.018+08:00maybe the united states is quite happy to see ma w...maybe the united states is quite happy to see ma walk right into china. peaceful, clean, and gets america of the hook.gregnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-33398555077487878322011-04-03T00:47:48.404+08:002011-04-03T00:47:48.404+08:00Some conclusioins here!

Ridiculous...<br /><br />Do people posting blogs and comments here actually have direct knowledge of the case? Or do they just come to their conclusions based on what they read in blogs and newspapers? Are they sure about the accuracy or wholesomeness of those information sources?<br /><br />"In which President Ma once again is incompetent, and disses the Public for pointing that out"<br /><br />Mr. Ma is incompetent? May I suggest an Aesop's fable for your information.<br /><br />There was a pond in which lived many frogs fairly comfortably. One day they got some ideas and decided to go to Zeus and asked for a king to rule over them. Zeus consented and gave them an olive branch. "That is your new ruler," said Zeus. The frogs went back happily with the big stick. But after awhile they came back to Zeus again. "Please, my lord, we don't like the new ruler. He can't do anything. Can you give us another King instead?" Zeus looked at them. "Hmm, yes, I can give you another King." And he gave them a snake. Now this snake sure can move about and do many things, including eating a couple of frogs now and then. Sure enough the frogs soon realized what they've got this time and wasted no time to go back to Zeus again. "Please, mighty Zeus, the snake-king is worse than the olive branch. Can you not give us a better one than either of those?" the frogs begged. Zeus's face turned crimson. "You ungrateful lout! A ruler was what you asked. A ruler is what you get." And promptly sent them back to the pond with no new king.<br /><br />Aesop was an ancient slave and wise. The blogs and comments in The View from Taiwan are intelligent and modern. Maybe it's time to square the modern views against ancient views and see if you can't iron out some, well, differences.Hermannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-84523364966150380362011-04-03T00:38:15.537+08:002011-04-03T00:38:15.537+08:00What I want to know is who was the guy who got off...What I want to know is who was the guy who got off for molesting a 3 year old, was he the first/only son and who is his family in the KMT hierarchy.

We have underage sex laws because older individuals with more cunning and resources may often fleece or coerce those in their teens who are still in formative stages and whom much harm will be done if they are hurt.<br /><br />But for someone 3 years old? To treat that in the same bucket as someone 15? And say that you need more proof than the little girl's testimony that she said "no" in order to prove the the sex was coerced?

In the case of Chen Shui-bian, much of the "due process" was guided by pleas to appeal to "public opinion".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-60291223318733614912011-04-02T20:32:15.108+08:002011-04-02T20:32:15.108+08:00I like how he unintentionally equates "integr...I like how he unintentionally equates "integrity" with the passing of rulings that let child molesters off the hook.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552370490869601403noreply@blogger.com
