You might not have noticed but we in the free world live in fur-lined cages guarded by retarded jack-booted thugs empowered by their masters. There are few opportunities for change beyond a change of mind; for that, widespread access to accurate information is required; not coincidentally, control of information is the front on which open battle is raging. Once secured, it's game over, people.
In most other developed countries this would be considered bribery
I can assure you that it is recognized as bribery and that the world has been looking on in horror as your giant flaming snowball* spins out of control.

Snowden's actions are aiding the American people and the people of foreign nations; this is why he's being considered for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The cry of "traitor" is and always will be a mere manipulation; an incitement to "do as you are told or face the consequences"; it's "think of the children" on a national scale; a means by which to manipulate anyone who does not wish to be seen to announce themselves as being different; a means by which to trigger the punishment of someone by their brainwashed peers. To be seen to demonstrate one's apart-ness is to single oneself out for special attention.
This simple pattern is used by manipulators unable to defend their position using reason or morality. It's up for question whether it's detestable more because of the low opinion held of the intended targets by those employing the tactic or because it has shown itself to be so effective, time and again throughout history.
As to the US, you have more than two choices as to party.
One can only imagine the countrywide-outcry, nay riotous scenario which would develop if there were x, { x : 2 <= x <= 3 } options when choosing beer, football, tv shows - all important choices with longstanding ramifications affecting every aspect of life.
There don't seem to be many people replicating Kim Philby's actions as Snowden did. That would seem to be suggestive.
Strawman much? Perhaps it suggests that the evil fucks far outweigh those with a conscience and have greater ability to mete-out sanctions which apply on a world-wide scale? Just guessing though.
All well-reasoned points which show that the redesign doesn't consider what is important to users - including efficient use of screen real-estate.
It seems that these days, everyone wants to waste as much space as that wasted by [Twitter] Bootstrap.
Yes, I realise that some design guru might jump forwards to explain that space is as useful as content but there needs to be a consideration that screen space is limited.
under revised guidelines issued by the federal government, those companies can still only report a range, rather than a definitive number, for those requests. If that wasn't fuzzy enough, the range can only be reported after a six-month lag.

On behalf of the bacteria, I would object most vehemently at your disparaging comparison.
I'll be interested to see if FaceBook can find a way to contractually bind the 450M users into their business model; I'm gonna go with no.

If they did give a fuck, how would it look?

Ask yourself why *they* stopped shooting presidents.
For me, this is the core of the problem; they're not asking for permission and our lack of permission has no teeth or even gums.

Were humans around:
Once identified as non-[evil|corrupt|power-mongering|privacy-invading] humans, they were jettisoned lest they bring the tone of the organization up.
(Now) knowing that it comes from 4chan reinforces my comment :D
My brain is melting trying to read what you wrote - stop sniffing gas/petrol - start licking electricity, it's the vehicle-fuel of the future :P

Nerds; usually so mild-mannered but suggest they shave their necks or other form of heresy and it's digital pitchforks and torches time.
In what way?
I guess they have gum in all sorts of flavours these days :D
Uhh... That should have been....
Stop whining about beta <your username> :P
Stop whining about beta :P
How can I boycott the whining about beta? What's the problem with it (please construct a valid sentence without using variants of 'sux'.)
What a bunch of slime-and-oil covered weasels.
Remind me again why people do what they say...
