What was the last time you called a woman a "skank"?
I havent....so what's your point?

Do you honestly believe that male politicians/businessmen havent been called names on this forum though?

give your head a shake.

It doesn't make it "sexist" just because she is female.

Using what you've got to your advantage shouldn't piss anyone off. If using your looks and money for political gain pisses you off, how do you feel about Reagan? Or JFK

If Ben Mulroney ran for the CPC leadership, failed, got elected to Parliament, switched to the Liberals to decide a vote that could bring down the House of Commons, ran for the Liberal leadership and started sleeping with Tie Domi, I'm sure he'd have similiar comments to what Belinda has been getting.

The point is, it was used in this forum in reference to Ms Stronach. If you don't have a problem with that and believe that is acceptable then I don't think there is much more to say.

This kind of sounds like a old man going senile and being angry at being cut out of the business. It really could go either way. One of the claims of mismanagement is selling the company jet. Owning planes is almost never a good idea.

I hope that I never become such an ass that my own parents sue me. Or even that I sue my own child. What is with these people?
