Searching for her...
I've recently been thinking of a new topic to debate besides religion, so I thought of something..
Let's say you have a politician. He has been exposed to watching porn, or something that most likely doesn't affect his ability to be a politician. Do you think the media should have the right to report this if he does not want it known? Keep in mind that this debate isn't about the fact that it would be reported regardless or the publication companies will lose money; this is more about the moral issue.
I argue two things. First, if we do focus on these secrets famous people hold that aren't illegal, but are seen as "negative", wouldn't it distract us from the real issues at hand? Wouldn't it be more important to focus on political issues than personal issues?
Second, I argue that even if you find something that you, at first thought, think may have an effect on how a person does their job (whether it's playing a sport or being a politician). What if they've done their job successfully for the last 10 years? Wouldn't it be superfluous? I think focusing on the effects and results of someone's work will always be better than focusing on the causes, because the effects happen regardless of the cause; whether it's because of a drug problem or incompetency.
Thoughts?
