Interesting genertational sociologic question...

[kidchino05]

Here's an interesting thought: The future president of the USA could be jerking off on a webcam right this second. Think about that for a sec. Digital photography/webcams/filesharing/etc have been pretty ubiquitious for, say, the past two years (and yes, you've had a digital cam since 1973, but we're not talking about you, Mister Uber L33t geek, we're talking about middle America). Which means anyone who's, say, 15 now or younger is going to live their ENTIRE lives in an era where webcams and all of that ("sex tapes", cybering) is common.

So the point? What effect, if any, do you think this is going to have on the future of politics? I mean, doesn't seem entirely possible that some who has political aspirations would have cybered with their girlfriend (or someone who they thought was a girl) and that could resurface 30 years later? Or do you think that'll become so common that the people who do that (and get exposed) will just not progress a certain point? Or some other possibility?

Hopefully none but, unfortunately, probably too much with all the bible thumpers out there.

i'm not sure that it will matter. unless it is snuff, people with either react positively, negatively, or not at all to the fact that the president filmed himself having sex when he was 15. and that will get pulled out way before an election by the press, so the people will elect based on if that is ok to them or not.

Didn't you post your weiner on Geekbabe's forums? Or maybe it was hazel whatshername. Or maybe it was Ameesh. I always get you two mixed up anyway. But if that sort of thing was to surface, of COURSE it'd have an effect. The question is whether it'll happen, and more interestingly, what happens if it becomes common (i.e. in 40 years, if, like 25% of our [aspiring] senetors have people with framecaps of them wanking it).

Make sense?

No.

It doesn't make sense why a sane person would give a crap.

Like the political issues in this country are governed by sane people. As if.

My honest opinion is this:

Life as we know it now will be completely changed in 25-30 years anyway. Maybe sooner. Everything comes and goes in cycles, and we are on the edge of all kinds of events that will naturally change our society. Like the fabled Atlantis, people will wonder about a society that once existed where you could talk to people halfway around the world, make all the hair on your body stop growing by using laser beams, etc. etc. No one will know exactly what happened or where that place might have been... but they will remember the stories that were passed down after that advanced civilization ended.

I think Cyberwankers are more likely to be struggling to find/grow enough food to survive than running for president.

Bush was elected twice after: snorting coke, being an alcoholic with DUIs, using his dad's friends to hide from service in 'Nam, and going AWOL from his safe stateside posting.

Clinton was elected twice despite numerous affairs and shady real-estate dealings.

Unless you're up against Karl Rove and you have the personality of a block of wood, cybering or internet sex vids will not be anything to keep you out of office.
