Max Mosley opens a can of worms.

Absolutely :up: and IMHO he should resign for no other reason than that.

I don't see this as being a particular problem. Certain problems (albeit often overstated by the media, and thus inflated in the minds of the public) may exist in society now that weren't previously the case, but are strange sexual preferences at the root of our ills? I somehow doubt it.

The difference here is that, I do not go organising, and paying for prostitutes, I am not into Bondage or any form of S&M. I can rationalise it and deal with it.

Sorry, but I respect and love not only my wife, but my family way too much to betray and cheat on them in such a way.

I am no saint, I, like the next bloke, will 'knock one out' when the urge calls for it and the wife has a headache ;) , but sick and vile behaviour is not my bag, so that is why I see Max as I do.

Look, I see your point, but I disagree with it.

The difference between having a wife or a girlfriend is only a piece of paper.
Going further, most of the married people cheat on their beloved wife/husband. The reasons are very different and i won't list them cause you never know who can be offended.

Point is that people go to prostitutes for different reasons, but this isn't clouding their judgement, not in their work and often not even in their relationship/marriage. The two of them have nothing to do the one with the other, and shouldn't be mixed.
Just because someone cheats on his wife because that gives him the kick he needs doesn't mean that he isn't a trustworthy person in th eother aspects of his life.

If it's because they have some sort of psychological problem, I think this should provoke some degree of sympathy towards them, rather than anger, even though these situations are always awful for those involved.

Fair play mate. I do not expect everyone to hold my, perhaps outdated and/or old fashioned, beliefs. But to go through the process of marrying someone only to cheat on the very ethic behind such a union is to me quite alien.

Now you are barking up my tree! The sympathy may well be genuine, but you can't say someone with such issues can differentiate how they will affect them in either business OR pleasure, can you?

No, but likewise one can't say for sure that they will.

But the seeds of doubt are well and truly sewn now though......

"For me it's a difficult situation because I run the Formula One Group of companies, and the teams - the manufacturers - are violently opposed to him.

"I knew he would win (the vote), there was no way he could lose. But I still don't think it's good for him, or for the FIA, to be honest. He said he wanted to finish at the end of 2007, and then the end of this year, before all this happened.

"What highlights the problem he may still face is what happened in Monaco. Prince Albert made it very clear that he did not want him on the grid, and that he would have security around him so that if Max did appear they could not be seen together."

"I've always said that Max will be the president until he dies," he added. "What many people don't understand is that he enjoys confrontation. He likes argument, these things stimulate him."

And as much as Mosley enjoys confrontation and argument, Bernie hates this and is afraid of a confrontation with Max now that he stays.
