Do you really find it necessary for someone to prove that China monitors phone calls? We know that they restrict and monitor internet activity on an extreme level, so phone monitoring or not, the point is that China not only monitors, but also censors, yet you jump.down another country's throat for it while having a history of defending China in comparison. However, your point about China not declaring itself a democracy is well taken.... On the other hand, so what? China is an international player, and does try to pretend it's more free than it actually is (although does a poor job of it).
So I have 'a history of defending China in comparison', do I? Whilst you're at it, why don't you make up some more bullshit?
Or shall we stick to the thread topic instead?
Are you perfectly happy with your government spying on you in breach of the constitution?
So let me get this right: If someone lives in one country, then they are not permitted to comment on the politics of any other country? Seriously, I'd like you to elaborate on this.
How about if someone takes a holiday in China? Are they a hypocrite if, during the time they're on holiday in China, they decide to comment on U.S politics? Or does the person need to spend a certain amount of time in China before they're deemed a hypocrite for criticizing U.S politics? If so, then what's the time threshold? 1 month? 6 months? 1 year? 5 years?
I'd really like to know how this whole 'you're a hypocrite' thing works in your mind. Please enlighten me.
I am a Verizon customer so my records have apparently been obtained.
Still absorbing the news to be honest but I don't feel violated and I don't think this is as big a deal as it will be made out to be. For a few reasons.
1) I have nothing to hide except one too many late night pizzas.
2) I've never really considered my cell phone to be an entirely secure means of communication because
3) I have always kinda assumed somebody somewhere was listening. Maybe that means I have seen one too many movies but this doesn't really come as a surprise.
By thoughts exactly, but I am still kinda pissed this is what America is coming to. The Patriot Act was the start of all this bullshit.
Speaking of which, I find it funny that many conservatives are pissed that Obama is so corrupt and does bullshit things and allows things like this, but the Patriot Act was okay because Bush did it.
Watching from outside, from one of the shittiest countries ever in which our government do this, for one reason or other, it's surprising how Reps and Dems, conservatives and liberals were ok with this under Bush administration, but they are not ok under Obama's. I was glad to read some porn, Papa Johns and pizza jokes, and if there was any about Ikea, I miss it.

You weren't upset when former President Bush and Dick Cheney created the DHS and unleashed the NSA on American citizens. You didn't get upset when the John Roberts Supreme Court ruled in favor of the government warrantless wiretaps in 2006 and stated that we do not own phone record logs, the phone companies do, therefore it is not a violation of the fourth Amendment.
Why was that? Why are you all of a sudden... upset with stuff that has been going on since 2002?
it's because of the President, isn't it? Admit it, it's okay because there are a lot of people out there who are just like you... you are upset because he is not the President you voted for.

A former FBI counterterrorism agent claims on CNN that this is the case
Glenn Greenwald
guardian.co.uk, Saturday 4 May 2013
Burnett interviewed Tim Clemente, a former FBI counterterrorism agent, about whether the FBI would be able to discover the contents of past telephone conversations between the two. He quite clearly insisted that they could:
BURNETT: Tim, is there any way, obviously, there is a voice mail they can try to get the phone companies to give that up at this point. It's not a voice mail. It's just a conversation. There's no way they actually can find out what happened, right, unless she tells them?
CLEMENTE: "No, there is a way. We certainly have ways in national security investigations to find out exactly what was said in that conversation. It's not necessarily something that the FBI is going to want to present in court, but it may help lead the investigation and/or lead to questioning of her. We certainly can find that out.
BURNETT: "So they can actually get that? People are saying, look, that is incredible.
CLEMENTE: "No, welcome to America. All of that stuff is being captured as we speak whether we know it or like it or not."
...Glenn Greenwald: "Why should people care about surveillance?"
Edward Snowden: "Because even if you're not doing anything wrong you're being watched and recorded. And the storage capability of these systems increases every year consistently by orders of magnitude to where it's getting to the point where you don't have to have done anything wrong. You simply have to eventually fall under suspicion from somebody even by a wrong call. And then they can use this system to go back in time and scrutinize every decision you've ever made, every friend you've ever discussed something with. And attack you on that basis to sort to derive suspicion from an innocent life and paint anyone in the context of a wrongdoer."

Funny that this cocksucker claims that spying on American citizens could have prevented 9/11 considering the intelligence services and government were fully aware of Al Queada's plans to hijack civilian aircraft prior to 9/11, and were in possession of a memo dated August 6, 2001, entitled 'Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US' (Washington Post staff writers Walter Pincus and Dan Eggen wrote that "The classified briefing delivered to President Bush five weeks before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks featured information about ongoing al Qaeda activities within the United States, including signs of a terror support network, indications of hijacking preparations and plans for domestic attacks using explosives, according to sources who have seen the document and a review of official accounts and media reports over the past two years.") http://www.sourcewatch.org/images/3/37/Whitehouse.pdf - that detailed the terrorists plans in minute detail, yet they failed to do a single fucking thing with this information. And now he's using the fact that the 9/11 attacks went ahead as an excuse to create a mass surveillance state in breach of the constitution.
FBI chief Mueller says spy tactics could have stopped 9/11 attacks
Robert Mueller dismisses congressional concerns and vows to take action against NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden
Dan Roberts in Washington
The Guardian, Thursday 13 June 2013
The FBI has shrugged off growing congressional anxiety over its surveillance of US citizens, claiming such programs could have foiled the 9-11 terrorist attacks and would prevent "another Boston".
The FBI director, Robert Mueller, also revealed that US authorities would be taking action against whistleblower Edward Snowden for revealing the extent of its activities, confirming that the FBI and department of justice were taking "all necessary steps to hold the person responsible".
But Mueller's testimony before the House judicial oversight committee brought angry responses from many congressmen, who questioned whether such surveillance was lawful and demanded to know why it had failed to prevent the Boston bombing if it were so effective...

Probably a dumb question but.....If all the NSA is doing is collecting numbers and times, as some here have claimed, without looking at the actual content of phone, data, emails, then when do they decide to actually look at the content of calls and emails? Is it based strictly on known phone numbers of 'terrorists' or other people of interest? Is it 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon before they decide whose information to monitor more closely? Who's to say which numbers warrant a closer inspection of detailed data?
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
