LOL, Cotto involved in Sex Assault charges

[Spray_resistant]

This is scientific proved by research.In the world there are elements of culture like power distance,masculinity,time management,managing self and equality between sexes.Patterns have been seen in the Anglo world e.g UK being different but still having something in common with the USA,New Zealand and Australia,Canada being more feminine.You got the latin world of France,Italy,Spain,they were all influenced by Rome and share a lot of behaviours.You got Germany,Sweden,Denmark and Finland on one hand and then those latin Americans sharing behaviour.The Asians have their own although Japan differs a lot in many aspects.

Call it stereotyping but the woman's place in a Latin American country isnt the same as in an Anglo countries.The way an adult is respected in the Latin American and affiliation towards family isnt the same as in the individualistic Anglo countries.Low power distance in the Anglo countries mean inequality is not accepted whereas in the latin American countries there is high power distance.Inequality is expected that's why Cotto could not understand why this woman was turning away her employer and a world champion.He expected everyone to jump to his ****.This is science,i.e backed by imperical evidence,should you want bibliography please holla.

Similar enough for sexual harassment to be a crime apparently......so if he did it citing these so called stark cultural differences doesn't excuse his behavior.

No, i clearly stated earlier in this thread that i was talking about minor offenses.

So where do we draw the line then for what is minor or major enough for leniency? Doesn't he get enough perks making insane amount of money for his job......and actually alot of free time where he can do nothing? why does he need more special treatment?

You've proven yourself to be a total moron. Nobody should be able to get away with something against the law because of their stature in sport or society. You obviously cannot understand that. Lets hope nothing like this ever happens to anyone you care about. As I've already said, Im sure you would change your tune. You're a disgrace as a person and a man. If you aren't ashamed of yourself you should be. Peace.

You seem like a fairly intolerant person. The legal principles you condem has been applied in the vast majority of civilisations throughout the world and history. From your reasoning it follows that the Romans, the Mayans, the great Greek and Japanse civilizations all would be "total morons". I find it sad that you a so enclosed within your own mental horizons but i still enjoyed or discussion. Peace.

Yeah equality before the law is a recent invention from America. I never supported it.



I will write this again. In matters of law you have to look at things objectively from societys point of view. Personal feelings has no place in it and should not be considered when making decisions. What i would feel in such and such hypothetical situation is totally irrelevant from a juridical perspective, do you think we should legislate based on personal feelings?

The rich and famous have a good enough life as it is without them being above the law.

It would most likely be a questions for experts but maybe this definition is a good place to start?

Yes thoose are good perks which he has deserved with his sweat and blood. My point is: If his money is taken from him through legal processes what does he have left? Alot of free time? The courts should show leniency. He has taken severe beatings and put in enourmos amounts of effort to get that money. It should not be robbed from him. At least he deserves a second chance.

Robbed from him? He was making that woman's life a misery because she didn't want to **** him and then he fired her, she deserves every penny she can get from him.

So...this is what Cotto meant on 24/7 when he said he wasnt the best husband

[Hallaqsillaq]

Wow great job stereotyping ppl......

This is bull****. While there are still some elements of machismo in many latin cultures, to say the Anglo's don't have the same attitudes is bull****.

I hope you are getting me right.I'm not condoning Cotto's behaviour,what he did is wrong de****able and abhorrent.My point however is against the one size fits all way of looking at things.I'm just trying to make people see things the way Cotto sees things,in the context of his culture.It is easy to judge someone using our own culture but he should be judged using Puerto Rican standards.

Just a money hungry whore trying to get a free handout.
