Is it still true that such a person has a right to do whatever he or she wants to do in his or her home?
Don't look if it offends you. If you can see it from your house, put up curtains.
If you are offended that you were not invited, try being nice to them and maybe you'll get an invitation to the next orgy.

So the neighbors KNOW ha does this and they still look over there to see if he is standing in the door naked

STOP LOOKING!

Seriously. OMG a penis!!!!!!! yet let little bobby play grand theft auto or call of duty. Personally I find the rampant violence on TV and in games far more offensive than seeing a human body. But then again some people get all up in arms if they teach the correct names for human genitalia in schools.

This country has some seriously misplaced concerns.
My child wouldn't be playing Grand theft auto ether. So no I don't have misplaced concerns. Oddly enough I wouldn't mind older children going to a museum and seeing tasteful artwork ( at least I wold have some control and be able to talk with them about it) but not some pervert standing in their door just trying to get attention. Its sick and disgusting and I'm not talking about the human body, I'm talking about the pervert.

These are two unrelated issues. One can be opposed to violence on tv and opposed to a grown man intentionally showing his wares off to the neighborhood. It is not an either/or sort of deal.

I see no reason why that wouldn't be a useful distinction here. This guy's actions are in no way similar to those of a person who gets out of the shower and walks to their bedroom naked.
He is not in public. He is in his own home.

So you have no concerns that children riding their bikes up and down the street would be subjected to seeing orgies? You can't possibly be serious.

Answer my question about the glass house before slapping your own head like an idiot.

Also, I didn't say he was in public. Read the post before slapping your head.

So the statue of David standing there naked is ok, but the man (possibly named David) standing there is not ok?

Seriously?

Not if that man is getting his jollies off through his nudity, which is the most likely explanation for a man who stands in front of a glass door for ten years.

Seriously?

And you have no control over a person playing violent video games in their own home or being naked in their own home.

He could easily have a tv in the view of the door and be playing GTA in plain view, but then there would not be a story since that is seen as perfectly fine.
