surely if you participate in a discussion in which you invoke moral views and judgements, it is appropriate for you to be asked to explain how they are framed and whether you manage to live up to them yourself.

Ok. My views on the following are framed by common sense, common decency, respect for others, and the golden rule, which is treat everyone as I expect to be treated.

1) I judge that it is highly improper for the President of the US, or any boss, to be engaging in sexual relations with an underling employee, most particularly those acts should never take place literally in the workplace. If *anyone* has sex at work, they should *never* get caught. I don't care if they are husband and wife or what have you. You get caught, that's wrong. If you're the boss and the sex partner is your subordinate employee, a sexual relationship is improper no matter where the acts are done: Most if not all private companies recognise this, and have rules against it. It brings conflicts of interest, and impartial decision making becomes impossible. For the record, I have never so much as made a pass at anyone in a junior position to me.

2) I judge that nobody should ever lie under oath, particularly about having sex with a subordinate employee in the workplace. For the record, I have never lied under oath.

I refuse to discuss in this forum my religious beliefs, and how they affect the above views, mainly because Daniel simply wants to attack my methods of debate as being "un-Christian".
