fox news correspondent called Mr. Rogers an "evil, evil man"
but see, the fact that they're bigoted toward him is the real problem so if people actually committed violence against him as bigots it's not really as important as the simple fact that they were bigots apparently
it's like some kind of meta crime where being a bigot is the crime so since you're already guilty you might as well throw rocks at some homos, it doesn't make it any worse I guess
again how is this concept hard to understand
privacy doesn't effectively protect people from bigotry
privacy has its own negative consequences (even if it's illegal, it doesn't mean it doesn't happen)
therefore, on the balance, it's bad.
I mean you can disagree but it's not like it's a fundamentally ridiculous stance

Also you missed the whole part of the argument where I made the point that the decision to keep things private out of a fear of retribution is often a really bad idea
Because (a) it helps maintain the status quo of bigotry (as evidenced by the fact that those who learn someone they know is gay are less likely to be anti-gay rights; therefore honest interaction encourages acceptance. As I said earlier in the thread, you don't get social change by being meek and private) and (b) because many people realize once they've come out that it's much much better than being in the closet. Fear keeps them from doing what ultimately bears out as a much more preferable option.
So would someone who is anti-privacy be ok with, say, posting everyones details (age/sex/wage etc) on the internet(for example)? or am I missing the point?

Bob and Tom have worked together for twenty years. But what Bob doesn't know is that once or twice a week, Tom likes to take it up the ass from his wife and her eight-inch strap-on. What Tom doesn't know is that Bob likes to spend his weekends drinking fuzzy navels and watching bad romantic comedies. Because they keep these things secret from each other, they are able to work together in an environment of mutual respect, regardless of what the other might think about their private lives.

But Ben, if people just talked about how they like to take it up the ass from their wife's strap on, then the rights of people who like up the ass from their wife's strap on would reap the benefits!
If we just talked about scat porn, it wouldn't be so weird!

Privacy is a two way street, you know.
Think of all the fat people having sex right now.
Frankly, I want to afford them all the privacy that is humanly possible.

Oh wait, backwards might be a chubby chaser and I might have inadvertently turned him on!
But thanks to benefits of privacy, I don't have to see his erection.
2 points for privacy.

Someone called Mr. Rogers evil
Type all of your responses while down on one knee.
Wait huh
are you saying that non-privacy has no negative consequences?
Because (a) it helps maintain the status quo of bigotry (as evidenced by the fact that those who learn someone they know is gay are less likely to be anti-gay rights; therefore honest interaction encourages acceptance. As I said earlier in the thread, you don't get social change by being meek and private) and (b) because many people realize once they've come out that it's much much better than being in the closet.

I appreciated this
no I'm saying that overall privacy's few benefits are outweighed by its many harms
It's ALL generations of young people.

He's saying he's gonna send me all his medical records and some nudie photos that I can share with whomever I want.

on the grounds that if I didn't possess it I would likely have a panic attack, aneurysm, and die
Hey, if you're handing out nudie pictures hook a brother up.

do facists oppress people that do not have handsome faces
or maybe they oppress people that do have handsome faces
When surprises are outlawed, only outlaws will be surprised

with that same old decent lazy eye
you have a ridiculously boring life if you do not
look man, I can tolerate a lot of things
but romantic comedies are not one of them
this is doing incalculable harm to society!
Either that or you let people know more than they'd probably like to know

even if you convince that four hundred pound lady that clown makeups and shitty dreadlocks are not for her there is still going to be that smell
ass and weed and possibly menstrual blood
depending on how little she thinks of herself

Because that's stupid, I don't have a mate
Stupid hunters
Vagina? That was nothing compared to the anal adventures that girl tried. Let's just say she could put Belladonna to shame.

if you don't have a mate, you're just seen as weak, and ostracized.

What if I tried to gather your mate instead. Like put her in a leather bag along with some fruits and nuts I found?
