To be honest I don't care. Everybody has issues and pointing the finger is the least helpful of all things no matter the direction.
People struggle with a lot of things though, including murder and pedophilia, hence the legal system. For some reason though I get the feeling you're going to justify this on the grounds of "they are struggling" but point the finger if it's something you are morally against and then it just becomes a question of one man's code over another and that is pointless since we all have our value systems and none fully agree. In that case " they were strugglin" can apply to absolutely anything, and I'm okay with that so long as it is applied to everything. As for hackers, the best way to look it them is as an uncontrollable force of nature because so long as computers exist, hacking will be real. |
We're just going to have to agree to disagree if you think infidelity is on par with murder and pedophilia, because there's no arguement you can make that will logically work for me on that.
If you're really shocked to find out your significant other was on a website like this too, IMO you were lying to yourself most likely for a long time to begin with anyway.
We know human beings like to fuck. I'm just putting that bluntly because it's hardwired into our DNA, to deny that is to be naive, we wouldn't exist if we didn't have an overwhelming urge to want to do so. I'm not saying that's a good thing per se, but it is a survival mechanism. So I don't really believe in all the "shaming" that comes with it.
No it's not a great thing to do, but neither is eating yourself to obesity or indulging in too much drinking, yet we're not surprised that some people like to eat a lot or drink a lot, sex is far more pleasurable than either of those things, why is it such a shock to some people that some people have trouble controlling how much sex they have? It doesn't surprise me, and I don't neccessarily think it's the end of the world.
In terms of these hackers, I don't think they have the right to put their pain of likely being cheated on themselves and intrude on so many people's lives like this. If your girlfriend wasn't faithful, I'm sorry, but that doesn't give you the right to cause a broad spectrum of people pain, including people who never followed through on anything or family members who don't want this information public.
