This whole argument that you shouldn't care about what people doing their private life is the latest Jewish mindbender.
I damn well do care what people do in their private life and I judge their morals and their value to society by what they do in their public and private life. What they do in their private life shows more what kind of person they really are than what they do in their public life especially these days.
So yeah I care what he does in his private life and you should too.
I've thought about this frequently. The phrase "I don't care what they're doing behind closed doors" is often used by people who are telling you to "mind your own business".
Here's the thing: what is done behind closed doors inevitably spills out into the world. There's also an arbitrary line that people will draw where they "start caring" about what's happening behind said doors.
For example, people will defend homosexuality because "I don't care what they do in their bedroom". Well, next month, they're going to be doing what they do in their bedrooms in MASSIVE, DISRUPTIVE, DISGUSTING "PARADES".
I would also reply to that defense with "Well, what if they're cooking methamphetamine next door to your home? Do you care about that, even though it's being done out of your sight? The presence of a drug house means the presence of druggies. The presence of druggies means theft, violence, and property damage. So, where do you draw that line?"
It's hard to juggle this notion with the expectations of privacy we have. Any thoughts?
