“Well said, anybody who is in any way affected by Tiger's transgressions should consider stepping back and revisiting their (pathetic) belief that they somehow personally know celebrities. This author is no better than the 7 year old who cried when Paris Hilton went to jail for drunk driving (or whatever it was?). Watch golf, enjoy golf, get a life.”

“hear, hear.....fanned”

“It wasn't an open marriage, if it was, why the car accident? Why the smashed up face?

He'll survive -- he's a billionaire, the best golf player ever. He can do, and have, whatever/whomever he wants. Except for Elin and the children, i suppose. There'll be 100,000 more women lined up hoping for a shot at being the next Mrs Woods.”

“Are you even serious? People see and believe what they want to see and believe. Maybe she had a sense that something was up throughout their marriage, and she confronted him, and he told her a bunch of lies, and she believed him, bc she wanted to believe him...because she wanted her marriage to work for her and their kids' sake, and she didn't want to face the truth or wasn't ready to face the truth...wasn't ready to make the hard decision to stay or go. But obviously with recent revelations, there is no nice little story she can believe that he can tell. It's too obvious that what is said to have transpired actually did. And she stayed bc she liked the luxuries? She's definitely going to keep those luxuries, even if divorced. And this idea that "he didn't do anything to any of us"...what's your point? I choose not to support or make wealthy individuals of weak moral fiber. This sends the message that people can treat other people anyway they want and no one cares as long as it doesn't effect them directly. Think of a racist mayor from a town other than yours. He didn't do anything to you. Using your logic, why don't you send him a donation?”

“by the looks of his car, it's pretty clear that was not the case for Elin.”

“...and we have no idea what she did, either.

I suspect this story runs much deeper.”

“Actually, I have very specific criteria for the younger men I date - they need to be very, very nice people, and they are - and also, I should stress that the experiences that led me to conceive MakeLoveNotPorn arose with some, not all.

MakeLoveNotPorn is my secondary venture: you might be interested in main venture at www.ifwerantheworld.com (interim site, we launch in private beta in January).”

“And in fact, I receive emails and feedback from people, especially young people, all around the world. One of the most recent was from a young guy in Morocco, who wrote to say, young people here are as influenced by porn as in the US. Thank you so much - now I can tell my friends how to make love thanks to your website.”

“There is a response to my post that can only be seen in my profile (?).
In response to it, I was the first to post and was obviously not approved untill much later, and my issue was with the misleading Headline.
Seriously, as writers in the digital realm it is STILL important to maintain high ethics. I understand clicks =cash, but honesty=longevity.”

“Skantea, perhaps the author of this article wants us to think, or is that a new concept for you?

I enjoyed reading this because I have always been drawn to brainy, artsy intellectuals, who were capable of the kind of cruelty Roth displayed. Some women are either incapable of, or choose not to be with a conventional man in a conventional relationship. Would Claire Bloom have been happier settling down with a 'nice guy'? I doubt it. She and Roth obviously fed off of each other's neurosis and on some level met each other's needs. Bloom clearly put up with Roth because he fascinated and intrigued her. There are some extraordinary women who have a primal need in giving their heart to a 'genius'. The bumpy ride works for them. People are complex, but artists even more so. I don't think Bloom or Roth are fossils at all. Years from now we'll be reading about similar relationships.”

“what are you talking about, they DO pay taxes, get a clue.”

“Guys, you are making the assumption that she knew what happened after she went down. Should she credit her fellow officer once she was made aware? Yes, absolutely. The fact that a more accurate account emerges over the ensuing days is not all that unusual. I've noticed frequently that technology enabled reporting often rushes an incomplete set of information to us. Is this evidence of some ominous consipracy? I'm just not seeing ample evidence of that and would hate to cheapen their moment by speculating on such. Clearly, the Sgt. is a hero and deserves credit for ending this, as does Munley for her valor in jumping into the fray to try to end it.”

“This is clearly another Jessica Lynch fairy tale.
All about how some reporters would like it-- the story to be. An avid reader of the New York Times, but must admit... its no longer the newspaper of "record." Taking the time to validate 'sources' before one reports on a story is a hallmark in journalism. Lately the Times have joined the tabloids in" yellow" journalism and its awfully disappointing. In my freshman year as a student of journalism I was forced to buy the Times daily, because they were the best as a newspaper... now I wonder who are calling the shots there. I only learned of Seargant Todd when I saw the Oprah Winfrey show, and yes, the female cop made no attempt at correcting what she knew was wrong. Taking the credit was fine. Unbelievable!”

“They have and they have found exactly what you point out. Conserves think differently from Liberals and they are much more fearful of things that shouldn't be. I think all children should be tested and those found to be conservative in mind should be retrained or else put on treadmills to generate electricity for life where they can do some good instead of doing the damage they do. Religious indoctrination also plays a big part in this intellectual defect!”

“No they are too busy working real jobs instead of drawing with crayons.”

“Skantea, you obviously don't know Angela Tucker! She is one of the most distinctive individuals you could meet. Its not a personality thing. Its a racist thing!”
