The Government has been taking away our rights for years, the general public seems to expect the government to solve all of their problems and give them free paychecks.
Of course, I really would be surprised to find out the America is the only country spying on their own citizens.
This has been going on for years and everyone knew it.. now with the leak hopefully we can reign in our own government and abolish the practice officially.
- lutze 13y agoSee this? This is part of the problem, stop being so stereotypically blinkered. The rest of the world doesn't care if the US government is spying on its own citizens. The US government is ACCOUNTABLE to its own citizens (well nominally, but hey...), so if they don't like it they're in a position to do something about it. As a none US citizen, I care that the US government is spying on ME, unilaterally and without any accountability. This is what the rest of the world cares about. Stop pissing away what little sympathy you have by moaning like a spoiled child about the bad shit your government is doing to YOU, and open your fucking eyes to what it's doing to EVERYONE ELSE.
