[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this such a huge news item? Why do so many people care?

Honestly by this point I kind of feel sorry for them, yet I am sick of seeing this all over the news when there are much more important things to care and opine about![/quote]

Trying to distract from Trump and Eppy[/quote]

Nah. Cheating is something Americans universally hate and it’s very personal.  Pretty much everyone has been affected by cheating in some manner—-as a betrayed spouse, as a kid whose family was broken up by it, as a sister or brother whose sibling was betrayed, a grandparent, etc.  it’s a base human triggering event.

Then- add in he’s a billionaire and she’s a HR director, with news they are awful at work and you get even more schadenfreude. They were so BOLD and arrogant.

This is a both sides thing—it has nothing to do with Trump. Everyone is reporting it and talking about it.  People are so fed up with the charlatans and the rich and the double standards. [/quote]

If Americans hate cheating so much, how come “pretty much everyone has been affected?”[/quote]

6 degrees of separation. You can be the mother or grandmother watching a son or daughter go through it. You can be a best friend. You can be a child of a cheater parent. You can be a co-worker. You can be an aunt or a niece or a sister or a brother. Christ, you can be a dog that loses its home and a parent.

Americans place cheating on a spouse dead last on a list of acceptable behaviors, behind abortion, cohabitation, pornography, out-of-wedlock births and divorce, among others. A puny 6 percent say adultery is acceptable, according to a Gallup poll conducted last May.
American social taboos on many issues — especially issues of personal sexual choice — have been changing over time, but views on infidelity have not budged. It has been consistently frowned upon by the masses across decades and demographics. Adultery is less popular than cloning humans, polygamy, suicide and teenagers having sex — all of which were also close to the bottom of Gallup's list. That disapproval has not ended infidelity, which may in fact be on the rise today among women, though men are still more likely to be unfaithful.

I don't think Americans care about cheating as much as you think. I mean, the so called party of Christian values literally nominated a serial cheater who had sex with an adult actress while his wife was pregnant. If they don't care at all, I am not sure Democrats care either.

I am not condoning cheating, but the story is not famous because of the cheating scandal. CEO/Wealthy and Powerful man cheats on wife is a dog bites man story. It's a viral buzz because it's on camera and their reaction to getting busted is entertaining.

He will be fine over time just as Tiger Woods was even more popular after cheating hundreds of times. He is not more popular because his cheating but because it's not really a factor over time. [/quote]
