L2 I'm w/ you part way on that. Pentagon Papers whistle-blower Daniel Ellsberg is regarded as a hero by many. But Ellsberg released the important information, without doing much if any collateral harm. What Snowdon did was massive; and much of it, profitless. Letting us know about the meta-data was fine, as I believe SCOTUS may already have demonstrated. But many of Snowden's other disclosures didn't benefit the U.S. citizens, and severely harmed U.S. intelligence. Whistle-blowers are quite often demonized. But they are often useful to healthful growth. If a practice is beneficial, then: a) it should not be illegal. And b) if it's illegal than congress should change that. Clearly the rule of law was not adhered to here, by either Ed Snowden, or Uncle Sam. Hi LT...First of all there is a right way to do things and Snowden did it wrong...He gets zero sympathy from me and even less cudos...He did none of us any favors...The real gain from his theft belongs to China...If his claim of concern about government's domestic surveillance program was sincere, there would never have been a second round of leaks about global cyber intelligence activities...China poses a big enough problem for us without ???one of our own??? handing them a permission slip to play victim... ...And for that matter, everyone knows Russia is in bed with China....As I said, f*** Edward Snowden... |

F*** Snowden....He leaked secret N.S.A. docs...That puts him on the wrong side of the law...Some things are black and white and this is one of them...All he is entitled to is a trial,,hopefully a fair trial, but even that is not a guarantee...The Patriot Act may have been premature and civil rights must prevail, but every single second of every single day people voluntarily give up their privacy on FB, Twitter, and a myriad of other web sites...They give it up every time they try to secure a loan for something they need or want, every time they apply for government help, public utilities, cell phone contracts...I absolutely do expect government to respect my civil rights, but then again.....I don't have a damn thing to hide from them either.... yea he leaked secret NSA docs, about them doing illegal activities against the american people. he is a whistleblower and should be treated like so. if the government wasnt doing illegal $h1t this wouldnt be an issue, but they are. why hate the guy who exposes government wrongdoing? you should be more pi$$ed off that the government is knowingly violating your rights on a daily basis. As far as I can tell, he is being treated like a whistleblower ....But even more importantly, two wrongs NEVER make a right...If this whistleblower gets a pass, the next one might cost you your life.....Think! ... And I am pissed off at government for this and several other things, but that does not give me the right to take the law into my own hands... |

You do realize that humans are not perfect right? Not making excuses for people doing others wrong, but for most it is just written in their DNA. And yes....I have been done wrong.....wished karma on some people.....but in the end all I can do is be the better person and make MY life matter. I don't have time to worry about if someone got what was coming to them.....unless I use the dark side of the force and cause it. Or Voodoo dolls....those things rock. With that^^^ post.... |

It's very important to post REAL AND RECENT PICTURES in profiles; it's better for all of us. What do you think about it? thanks I think it's more important to judge the book by its content... I think Leigh has a nice pic up... Sexy neck. Shuddup Mikey.....it's recent, but it's not real... |

Being Left Alone

You have every right to leave someone. But atleast tell them why! Because what hurts more than being left, is knowing that you're not worth an explanation of why they left you. No matter how many times you tell them, some people simply refuse to listen to that which they don't want to hear...I'm not saying that is what happened with you, but it does happen and it can be just as hard on the one leaving...Sometimes closure is a luxury we can't afford... |

The US is the only bad country that has ever existed... No one else has ever done a sinlge thing wrong... But the ONLY restraining force against the global terrorism was always the US. That is why no matter what the second group does, we always say: Praise the Lord for American heroes who suffer and die for freedom of Afghan and Arab people in Iraq and Afghanistan. |
