Eh, I could honestly forgive people who've been in either, militaries (like terrorists) target the young and foolish and if I felt that being a fool was no grounds to be a friend then I'd be excluding myself as well.

As is there are Islamic, Christian, Jewish, Hindu and probably other religious institutions in the Uk who hold that belief, which is bad, but they're not ethnically cleansing a people over it.

I don't see how. If you are angry about things that keep happening over which you have no power that can stew into malice. Its an emotion, if it leads you to murder innocents - it's an excess of it.

I mean I think RUNNING a sex trafficking blackmail ring raises particular questions (did u purchase or get blackmailed by) but at the same time I don't really think ppl should be judged for *just* being friends with someone not even Epstein.

What's the difference in terms that determine who is or isn't a capable of being a friend?

Weird? I assume you wouldn't extend that to members of (any country's) armed forces or anything?

If I am friends with them already I presumably have reasons I love and care for them and I imagine their decision making, should it be true, was based on either faulty reasoning or an excess of emotion, I can forgive both those things.

Well "poor judgement" is rather more common and far less a severe charge than the insinuation that was meant by making this connection though isn't it. Because there isn't a sudden flurry of articles in the media about it to highlight her "poor judgement".
