Snowdon is a dummy

@Frank Apisa,

"Bottom of my heart" and "thank god" are both figures of speech...not meant to be taken seriously or literally. Wink

So you're saying it's alright for the government to collect information on it's citizens and then do whatever it wants with that information. So it would be alright if the government monitored your calls with the your doctor, and the minute it looked like you had something serious wrong with you, it would be fine for the government to sell that information to an insurance company who could then refuse to continue your cover.

You don't think there's anything wrong with that scenario?

If you ran a business the government would be allowed to sell confidential information on your business to your rivals. And you're happy with that.

What is your side?

And is the acronym something like: E.G.O (Essentially Good Opinion).

You stick right with where you are...that I am "wrong" in some way. I am discussing matters with people who also think I am "wrong."

I much prefer that you be on their side.

In fact, you make the case for that side better than most of them...and almost nobody can understand what you are saying.

No, I was simply misinformed, up until today I thought Snowden only gave the stolen documents to Glen Greenwald and he decided what was to released to various people. Regardless, a newspaper company and a woman who makes films is hardly qualified either.

Considering I think that is absurd on the face of it, I am not concerned with an event like that happening.

If asked to name traits I think I possess...I doubt "patriotic" would show up on that list.

This is not to say I am not "patriotic" (whatever that might mean to you)...but that it is not something I consider an important part of my character...and certainly not something I especially value.

I have on occasions had lots negative to say about people who claim "patriotism" as an essential characteristic.

How would you define yourself? Political? Analog/Digital? Personal/Practical? Introverted/Extroverted? Systematical/Emotional? I can split up the human psyche in many forms, but I am curious about these specifically contrasted elements of your mind.

LOL and the CIA and NSA and the rest of the US intelligence community for that matter had shown they are qualified and can be trusted?

Lying to Congress, spying on Congress, planning to do a MLK-Hoover move by leaking the porn viewing habits of people they do not like and on and on.

Am I being interviewed for a job?

To be frank (pun not intended), interviewers do not ask questions with an intent to understand someone - interviewers ask questions with an intent to hire an idiot that can get the job done.

Is that a "yes" or "no" to my question?

And I am speaking with you because you are expressing a tiny bit of sanity just now. If you revert to the jerk who thinks he knows everything and who thinks everyone else is a moron...

...the conversation ends.

Okay?

And since I have been an "interviewer"...your take on what an interviewer does and why he/she does it...is defective. Very much so.

@Frank Apisa,

The issue is not the interviewer - the issue is the rules that govern the interviewer's options.

Why am I jerk for being confident in what I sacrificed my self and my pleasure to research and understand on the level of many great minds who have done exactly the same things I did (sacrifice the social conform)? Just tell me, I'm very curious. I fight for my people, whether they are morons or not. Wars wouldn't exist if this world did not consist of morons - over-population; fat people; hatred; you name it. These things exist because the mass, is indeed, very moronic and ironic within that.

What would you describe yourself as?

It's absurd is it? The first part has already happened, and you're upset about being told about it, not about it happening.

Why shouldn't the government fund such a programme by selling personal data? You know what they say, follow the money. If there's no taxpayer's money to follow, it's easier to hide.

They'd love you in North Korea. With your trusting, unquestioning attitude, you'd fit right in.

Come on Izzy. Snowdon downloaded the info and distributed it to friends and aquaintances. He was the one deciding for me you and every citizen in the U S of A what was right and wrong without recourse to anyone else. He is the one responsible for all this and if he really was the hero some of you think would have the balls to come back and face justice rather than hunker down in a foreign country and try to avoid a real jury trial by trying to get a pardon.

Have you noticed that the longer this site goes on the stranger the new posters are becoming?

Is it OK for google and the other sites who spy on me and you to sell this information to the government. If I want to know something about a particular person all I need is a credit card and a computer and a persons innermost secrets are made public. How is that different from government spying? Its OK if big business does it?

@RABEL222,

Are you serious? The man is being threatened and you want them to come back when our government is full of corruption, lies and deceit, hence the political system and the bipartisan groups our founding fathers told us NOT TO IMPLEMENT?
