Sweden Admits Tapping Citizens' Phones for Decades
paulraps writes "Sweden is close to implementing new surveillance legislation that will include the monitoring of emails, telephone calls and keyword searches using advanced pattern analysis. The objective is to detect 'threats such as terrorism, IT attacks or the spread of weapons of mass destruction' but the proposals have divided the country.

Gal : You've been doing WHAT?!>
Guy : Oh, uh, I mean, well, did I say 10years, I meant

That's why they spy on them.
Everyone knows what they've been saying on the phone: endless variants on "B0rk b0rk b0rk!"
With spending like this, exactly what are "conservatives" conserving?
Sweden and Norway are neighbors? I thought they were the same state.
My apologies. I graduated from the American Public Education System.
In my country we have a constitution that protects our rights from invasion by the government. I could say wahtever I wanted to about President Bush and suffer no consequences at all.
I for one would never say anything bad about President Bush though, even though I know the FBI/CIA/Whaterver aren't listening to me. That would just be silly.
Here will be an old abusing of God's patience and the king's English.

Are you saying that I hate myself? I guess I could have said "person1" and "person2", since had I switched the genders around then I could also be accused of being a misogynist (or maybe more correctly that my statement was misogynistic).
but you could have used a slightly more diplomatic way to draw attention to it
How about:
Gal : Honey, I think we should start seeing other people.
Guy : That's funny I was thinking the same thing.
Gal : Oh, you were?
Guy : Yeah, as a matter of fact I've been thinking about it for years now
Gal : You have?
Guy : Yup, I figured our relationship was strong enough to take it to the next level
Gal : Yeah, I guess
Guy : Glad you feel that way, by the way, what would you say to a threesoSMACK
Guy : Thought so
