QuoteFrench Don't Want Minister to Resign Over Sex Furore

By REUTERS
Filed at 4:24 a.m. ET

PARIS (Reuters) - Two-thirds of French people do not want Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand to resign for having written about paying young male prostitutes for sex in Thailand, an opinion poll showed Monday.

Mitterrand has rejected calls for his resignation, sparked by revelations in his 2005 autobiography, "The Bad Life," and said the male prostitutes were consenting adults.

The French government has also come out in support of Mitterrand, who has threatened legal action to protect his reputation.

The controversy surfaced after Mitterrand defended film-maker Roman Polanski, who faces extradition from Switzerland to the United States for having had sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.

Both the far-right National Front party and main Socialist opposition party said he should step down.

However, 67 percent of French people do not want Mitterrand to resign, against 20 percent who think he should, according to the survey of 1,005 people carried out by pollster BVA on October 9-10.

Mitterrand has called his experiences in Thailand, described in the book that mixes autobiography and more dreamlike reflection, as "a mistake, certainly, a crime, no."

"I got into the habit of paying for boys," Mitterrand wrote.

"All these rituals of the market for youths, the slave market excited me enormously ... the abundance of very attractive and immediately available young boys put me in a state of desire."

Mitterrand, the nephew of former Socialist President Francois Mitterrand, shot to the top of popularity polls after he was drafted into Sarkozy's centre-right cabinet in June.
:D

I'm sorry, but that's actually sort of sad.  He should be in prison, being treated the way all real child molesters should be.

Uhm we have already discussed that and I posted this story and a follow up. He says he used the term "boys" to mean young men, which is not that incredible, seeing how straight men refer to women they fuck (especially prostitutes) as "girls" too. :mellow:

Every time you manage to get me to like you, you come up with a shit like that that reminds me you are a retard.  :rolleyes:

Remember, he did some pre-emptive yankeebashing with the Polanski bit so he was well prepared for a scandal.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Well naturally he looks good compared to his uncle, he merely paid for prostitutes overseas instead of being a member of the Vichy Government and excused shipping Jews to the Nazis.

Not "that" incredible, but not really credible either.

Oh, well if he says they were young men, then clearly they were all young men.
Too bad Polanski didn't think of that line first.

Is there any proof of that happening? I understand sex and especially homo deviant sex is a touchy matter in the US (well, I don't, but you know what I mean), but aren't you guys fond of the innocent until proven guilty thing as well?

Well it is not that simple.

We are generally despised by the third world for being sluts and whores and the Euros for being puritanical prudes.  It just gets laughable sometimes.  Can't people perceive us in a way that is not hilarious hyperbole?

Well, riddle me this, Batman: if a male politician had sex with legal age male prostitutes in Thailand, and then wrote a book about it, would he be able to hold a ministerial position in the US federal government?

If the answer to this question is "yes", then indeed you are not puritanical prudes.
