The modern bigoted holier than though attitude that seems common in our secular society, is going to be a major problem in the future with the explosion of communication. We are already seeing the demise of corrupt regimes and believe me this is happening very much because of the internet and access to it.
It may well accelerate the demise of F1, as it is seen by many as a polluting indulgence.
Why keep it a lottery? So that it keeps like today and there's an insane difficulty to find credible people and people to occupy strategic positions? I certainly don't agree with the way all this exposure is being done, but the communications explosion is a great way to stop this. How many politicians are rightly getting out of their positions by being found doing something that they shouldn't? And how many couples stopped fooling themselves after it became so difficult to cheat without anyone knowing about it?

I think we can disregard this opinion as it has no relation to legal principles. It is simply driven by negative emotions. If one wanted to destroy the life of every public figure who has a failed relationship or marriage we could just as well ask them to walk on water. Half of all marriages get divorced and of the other half on close inspection you would find the majority experienced marital infidelity at one point.
Legally cheating is not a crime, but in the law there's still the understanding of the compromise between a couple and in the event of a break up it's possible in many legislations to alter the outcome of the kids guard and money division to favour the part affected by the cheating. In legislations where there must be an agreement do proceed with the divorce, proved cheating is something that makes the divorce an instant approval in many places.
Marital infidelity is indeed common, as are many questionable behaviours both morally and legally, but that doesn't mean this is ok. It's a serious thing even if considered common, with results that are horrible. Funny how people are wiling to treat it as an irrelevant matter but will treat seriously a petty crime like stealing something cheap out of a convenience store.
And only shows most people are not to be trusted. From all your neighbours and the people you know, how many you trust? How many you would have in your house for more than a couple of hours?
Divorce doesn't really come into the equation here. Between trusting someone who chose to the divorce rather than cheating and someone that's married only to keep appearances, I would have no doubt in giving the first one a huge advantage.

That is why we a have UK treasury run by people who have no economic qualifications, while the only person with economic qualifications and experience of running a business was booted out because he covered up that he had a gay partner.
The result is that sexuality is a more important quality than competence. For Max, lying about the cause of a fireball in the pitlane was OK, but kink was criminal?
Richard, I can't speak for Andrew as I don't know what he means. But being homosexual is certainly different from being a cheater. Sexuality if done or chosen inside some good sense is not a problem and is a different thing to infidelity, which is something no one likes or should like. Even cheaters don't like cheaters.
I've been censored by a moderation team that rather see people dying and being shot at terrorist attacks than allowing people to speak the truth. That's racist apparently.
God made Trump win for a reason.
