Would You Still Trust A Public Servant To Stay in Office When He Cheats his Wife

Are you aware of how many other people who hold office have affairs? Most of our presidents have had them.

im not sure. im against cheating but with it being a thing that is commonly done its unrealistic to think that a politician would be perfect in that area as well with everything else.. i think its really makes you think twice about the person but that in the end it should be considered how well he is at his job and not his personal life..

I judged people's work based on the personal life. If he or she is good at what they do, then I would let them be. That is of course unless he or she is a mass murderer, rapist, psychopath or whatever related that can be dangerous, then we should reconsider. My experience probably not as same as that. A couple of months ago, my mother hired a woman who just remarried but his husband didn't approved her daughter from previous marriage. The child was neglected and left under her grandmother. Of course her relatives came and told my mother to sack her. But I've seen her work at the farm and she never caused us trouble. In fact she's one of the best. So when my mother as me for my opinion, I stated the same thing as above.

Its a funny thing, there is pretty much nothing that a politician can do that is going to surprise me these days. There are only slightly more things that they can do to disgust me. Of course, I don't know how much faith I have in a politician that would get caught in an affair. Not for the fact that he was doing the actual act of an affair. More because of the fact that he was the one who was stupid enough to get caught. Just imagine how many politicians get caught in cheating or in a lie. Multiply it by about fifteen times and you get the true statistics. I don't trust any politicians. In this day and age, the person who gets into office is more often than not the more convincing con artist. That is really all that it is about. You can call me jaded and let's face it, I might be inclined to to agree with you. However, being shocked at a politician cheating on his wife is so far down the list of disturbing things that they could be doing that it isn't even funny. This is about number twenty something on the scummy things that people should get offended about with the politicians.

I am only interested by competence and efficiency in a public servant : he can be the best of all husbands or the worst, his private life belongs to himself, and should have no incidence in his job. More generally, I think that private life should never belong to the public.

Cheating on your wife is different from cheating the public. In my opinion, a man can cheat on his wife but that doesn't mean that he cant do his job well anymore. But if a public servant cheated on his wife and his divorce or settlement is emotionally affecting him then I'd have to say his ability to do his job competently will be affected then and it would be difficult to trust a person who could not focus on his job because of marital woes.

I separate private life from public life. If the media didn´t get into everything, there wouldn´t be so many scandals. Most people (not all of them, of course) have an affair of some kind at one time or the other. The only difference is whether they are famous or not. Would Prince Charles of England affaire with Camilla be of any importance if he had´t been a prince?

I know how the saying goes: "A cheater will always be a cheater." but you have to understand that cheating on ones wife and rendering service to the public are two different behaviors and they are separated by a fine line. It's like eating a fried chicken and eating a fish. You're both required to chew but you take different processes to eat each. I'm saying this not because I'm pro-cheating or something, I'm saying this to avoid the judgemental way of thinking. It's bad to judge someone just because he did something appaling and it's not right to generalize the person based on one thing that he did.
