French Official Won't Resign Over Pederasty Allegations
French culture minister Frédéric Mitterrand is refusing to resign following controversy over a passage in his book The Bad Life that insinuates he paid for sex with boys in Thailand. What do you think?
Steven Tetley,
Angiographer
"Good for him! Resigning would only dignify the kind of trashy rumors insinuated in his autobiography."
Hannah Piccarreto,
Therapeutic Recreation Worker
"Now I really can't wait to read all the dirt in German federal minister of food, agriculture and consumer protection’s Ilse Aigner's new tell-all!"
Rory Haddad,
Unemployed
"What's wrong with paying for sex with boys in France itself? Is he not a patriot?"
