    I don’t think the person you’re responding to believes that the problem is politicians being gay, but that they can’t separate their feelings about their sexuality from their job as politicians. Just because this fact can be used by homophobes to demonize gay people doesn’t mean that Republicans in office don’t have a pattern of sexual self repression that colors their politics.













  • By “doesn’t exist” you mean that you don’t recognize them, rights only exist because people say so. Recognizing moral rights as more important than legal rights is a popular social value, and happens all around you everyday. It’s not something you can halt or debate, you have to find a way to accept how people are.


  • It’s also a fact that people can stop you, illegal or not, whether you like it or not. You also act as though a visible, private camera the same as a slealth camera that uploads to a cloud. They are different, and so people will feel different about them.

    You seem more focused on trying to get away with stealth recording than if it’s correct to do so, especially when someone argues about the ethics.


  • Yes because it involves technology, no not because it implies interest. It’s wrong because technology lets you share what you see with others. People trust you to see butts on a beach because they know who exactly can see the butts, andcan personally deal with creeps. I wouldn’t go to a beach where my butt could end up online without my being abletostop it (and I mean a focused shot, not a general beach picture).


  • All laws are, in some way, based on feelings that are explainable. We feel murder is bad, so we write laws against it. In places where murder is in some way legal, people fight murderers because they feel they must

    We feel surveillance is bad, and we are explaining why we feel that way and why those feelings are valid. We are taking away from you what you see as a right, but we see as a privilege.


  • Well if you set up a camera, it’s probably not the smart glasses, and thus not problematic. Someone could break your glasses, and even if they fail, they could chase you away, so you couldn’t record what you wanted to, and others would know to avoid you.

    Like it or not, legal or not, people would attempt to stop you, and this whole thread is people explaining exactly why they’d do that.

    You act as if this is the first social issue you’ve discussed with a group, and that’s ok, but remember that you entered into a discussion in progress, and it’s up to you to catch up with the discourse.


  • That’s why people are trying to change the law to make these glasses illegal. They are willing to risk the consequences until that point.

    You only care about the law protecting you, and are taking advantage of the law not yet protecting others. If you abuse the law, others see no issue with breaking the law to stop you.
