Re: NSA whistle-blower
I suppose I may be blending two groups there. Nothing wrong with their opinion. They're outraged which is a valid position, and there are liberals of the same position. But I'd say there's a pack mentality w/r/t anyone who argues what Socnorb or Popeye have said in here. That and 50% of the threads in Politics subreddit being about the NSA and PRISM.Arthur Dent wrote:What is the Wild West Randian view of this?ghostrunner wrote:This thing has made Reddit almost unbearable.

Hong Kong is closer to Britain than China when it comes to personal freedoms. For now, at least. Things will probably change for the worse in due time.MrSaigon wrote:I like Toobin's point about the irony of not being willing to live in a nation that reads your emails, then running off to hide in China (more or less), where that liberty would be one of the least of your worries. But I just don't like the idea that no one's allowed to have a change of heart in America anymore without the derision of Limbaugh and/or Stewart and/or hundreds of columnists.
Going to Reddit is your first mistake. :pghostrunner wrote:This thing has made Reddit almost unbearable. It's leaking into non-political subreddits.

I was more or less called sheeple a few minutes ago.

I don't know, it sounds like he's at least considering leaning on China for the sake of his own ass. I would be shocked if China didn't have eyes in Hong Kong with their hooks and finger, and they have access to all intel from HK.

Things looking up for Snowden. At least in his personal life, anyway.

I'm willing to bet she was a "loose lips sink ships" type of spy.

If I were ever somehow privy to secrets of the state, I would spill the beans to her during pillowtalk without hesitation.
