This thread is about the NSA.

Did the NSA prevent that attack? No.

Spying doesn't work. Case closed.

a link was posted yesterday that mosques/muslim groups are exempt from this tracking

so now it is just used against non-muslim americans

People from other countries don't want to kill "Americans".

People from other countries want the USA to take their CIA and DEA (and now NSA) off of their land.

They want the interference to stop. The war mongering and drum-beating to cease.

People in other countries are not jealous of your so-called freedom. In fact, we look to the USA as an example of a blossoming police state. (Same could be said about the UK.)

Killing each other is NOT human nature. It is a symptom of a war-mongering culture and the lack of respect for non-"americans".

Yeah, I saw that. I can say I'm not surprised at all.

The NSA is only spying on people it believes are terrorists, meaning they are part of a terrorist organization and receive support from them. In the case of the Boston Bombers, they didn't seem to have support from anyone.

i am. why? i can't tell you. but yes, i am :1orglaugh

dafuq?

Wrong.

It's a blanket spy program that collects data without a warrant or even probable cause.

The fact that the storage facility is being built in Utah proves that they are storing both metadata AND content.

No one needs 9 zetabytes of storage for metadata. Metadata is extremely small and it compresses well.

Obviously, the average citizen is the target.

Corporate espionage, intel on tax cheats, insider trading stuff, etc. is far more interesting to the government.

Anyone that has more than two braincells to rub together knows that terrorism is mostly bullshit. You have a higher chance of dying from a falling coconut than dying in a terrorist attack.

well with current events.. the question is 'who is the government' now

Yeah. There are many theories.

I just call them "the psychopaths in power". :)

sure enough, proof that Obama is not working in our in interest

obama just seems to be bush 2.0

pretty sure you are correct because no person EVER killed another person before America was created :thumbsup

think Obama is much more morally dishonest

Oh, I thought we were talking about the present. Now you want to go all "history channel" on my ass? :1orglaugh

The lack of spying on mosques got me thinking... Perhaps it is a ruse.

Why would they selectively exclude them from PRISM? Maybe they are saying they excluded them after the Boston bombing so that people don't point out that PRISM didn't work. :2 cents:

Edit: I mean, we just can't ever really know. They keep this shit secret and lie when caught.

i'm fully aware of what the thread is about, are you not aware of the recent expose on prism? did the domestic snooping part zoom right past ya there? sounds like it.

either way, you might want to direct this comment to your congressman instead of me, i'm the messenger.
you are naive. plain and simple. people have been shitting excuses to kill each other for centuries. you can't list one single thing we've done better over the centuries. war mangering? umm, wtf you thnk that's for? love? please. :1orglaugh

and if you haven't figured out yet that people like killing simply for the sake of killing, then i cannot explain it to you here.

I think our vice president said it best



I love these, Obama VS Biden

You want to end terrorism in the us? stop bombing their countries

Zoom right past me? Are you trolling? You have got to be one of the most ignorant people on GFY.

My congressman? I'm not in the USA and thank god for that. I won't even change flights in the USA anymore due to excessive harassment in that "free" country.

I am naive? Sure pal. Again, we are talking about the present here. I don't recall the US having the NSA for "centuries".

One single thing? I have one. The fact that the US told England to fuck off and formed a republic without a monarch was the best thing it ever did; a well written constitution was written. Unfortunately, it has been undone.

Killing isn't a human genetic trait. It isn't ingrained in people at birth.

It's a learned behavior.

The US's culture of death and war-mongering is to blame here.

I mean, just look at first 4 letters in the word "culture" and you'll gain some insight into what I am saying.

No problem. Let's give our enemies a place to train again!

Bang on. :thumbsup

Even if they are only storing metadata... metadata in aggregate IS content!

:thumbsup

:1orglaugh

US CULTure at its finest. Love that statement.

I also just noticed your sig about marines. That says a lot too. :1orglaugh

the only reason they are attacking us is because of what we do to them.

We are the world police, if we stopped funding the military's of all those countries and left them to themselves, we wouldn't need protection from guys wearing explosives in their underwear

your avi looks like a guy with a radio mic... like a cab dispatcher :thumbsup

I was having breakfast at the house of blues with my girlfriend, that's a shot of jack to go with my breakfast
