How private should your life be?

In Roo-ins
Wayne Rooney caught cheating during Coleen’s 5th month in pregnancy. Disgusted? I’m not. Ok, maybe for the sake of appearing less “inhumane”, I’d say it would be wrong. But as Penn Gillette (of Bullshit) pointed out, picking people out for their flaws will not only bite us in the future, but we ourselves will be the one appearing hypocritical in the end! He gave a hilarious example about Priests getting blowjobs, and how everyone is condemning the said priest for his action. But by doing so (condemning him), the people themselves are and would be judged even more harshly whenever they visit a brothel to get blowjobs. Same situation here. Why pick on people, just because they’re famous? Why be so judgmental?
Social Media privacy
You can’t escape the camera. Tell your boss you’re on leave, but go partying instead; eventually you’ll get busted.
Ever since digital cameras are on the loose, cheap and easily available, no one is safe. Not in the bathroom, not in your own house, not anywhere. Is it good? To me, transparency is good, right? That’s what we want in our government, to be accountable for all spendings and dealings and contract awards.
The same dude (Penn Gillette) pointed out that public cameras should be accessible to anyone who wishes to watch. So what if stalkers are looking at you on the street, or a freakish dude watches girls as they walk on her way home?! It should be our right to information.
We should have the right to see what is being filmed by the security cameras. As a bonus, more thieves and rapists can be caught this way, and the government don’t need to hire people to man the cameras. Everybody can watch in the public security cameras.
And that’s my rant for today!
And the Love Kickstarts Again!

People who are skeet-zoh-phre-nik might be even more affected if they know that even more people are watching the security cams. But hey, it’s fun, right?
