Theres a massive difference.....
Id rather a bridge that didnt fall down, rather than another parking lot of tanks that will never see any action slowly rusting away.
The point is either Batman or Spiderman would win, one side is correct.
The incorrect people arguing enough about it so that now you don't care, doesn't change the fact that some are right and some are not.
Those on the losing side of the argument have now basicly won because they have stirred up enough controversy that people like you no longer care about the truth.
It's ok, we get it. 1 guy turned himself in voluntarily for a minor offence when there was no way of getting caught.
There aren't anymore like him or they would have also turned themselves in after we asked nicely.
Done and dusted the other 39,999 are A ok.
It's very difficult to justify a national security policy that significantly impacts your foreign policy and your economic policy.
Not really.
Terrorists.
It's a secret.
Think of the children.
Usually work well enough to keep the simpletons distracted long enough till the next celebrity/gossip story.
Lol, they are hardly starving or else they would happily take it.
Your govt just pays people to make too much corn and your trying to dump it on the Chinese. Feed some of your own starving people first, wait that wont make the agribusiness any money, nevermind carry on.
Well lets all wait until the "power" is "absolute".
You dont need all that much power to swing decisions/elections/anything.
All the strings arent necessary, you just need to know which strings and where to pull them.
I dont mean, they assume your a terrorist so start being one.
But if you ever have the choice to choose between an American product or a non-American one dont choose America.
Dont visit them, dont buy their products or services, dont give them any of your money.
Maybe we can expand ethical labelling to disclose what % of American content is in products so we can avoid them.
I dont know why you think the powers that be in your country would care in the slightest what you or any random member of the public thinks.
It's quite easy for you to talk shit on the Internet, but people who have thought about this for half as long as it took you to write your post realise its a completely stupid thing to do. Killing Snowden now would only have bad consequences and gain you no benefit. It wouldn't even meet you objective of stopping the leaks as the cat is already out of the bag.
You don't ask any hard questions, your too busy hiding the real discussions and deflecting the attention onto the celebrity of the moment, Snowden in this case.
Are you sure?
How many have Russia killed recently compared to the US?
Its better for Russia to poison a defector or 2 than the US to drone strike a wedding and "collaterally kill" 50+ innocents just to maybe get 1 "bad guy".
Are you trying to compare the number of people buying things, or the number of dollars spent,or some combination?
Although there are many more people in China, they are also much poorer.
More people are doing the spending yes. But they are also spending a greater percentage of their money than the equivalent US shopper. So that makes them more consumerist, which I think is the point of the article.
"Secret courts" refers to courts that are secret, no more, no less.
With your "America Fuck Yea!" attitude you have mistakenly believed the world and any discussion about said world revolves around you, it does not.

Well it's certainly one of his last few days on the job, as soon as they find him that is.

The usual method is attach it to a free trade agreement or something similar.
I see what you there.
Arent Iphones really fat though?

Ok everyone, It's all ok now. There not abusing their power just their privileges, move along nothing to see here.
Maybe all the God believers don't like this. They feel that every person and race should have an equal opportunity to exist on this planet. There
Unless they believe in a different sky daddy, then it's their duty to kill them and hope they burn in hell?
Yes Virginia - Polar Bears can swim and run on the ever thickening Ice!
I'm sure they can
But I'm also pretty sure they cant swim all the way to Antarctica .
Rubbish
Your a few years out of date

Because all people are business people right?
summary says 5,000 years ago, so dinosaur accidents then :)

You dont need all that much power to swing decisions/elections/anything.
All the strings arent necessary, you just need to know which strings and where to pull them.
So take actions

You mean like all the Native American presidents that you've had so far?
Or your female presidents?
How about an athiest?
Bogeymen can also refer to slightly harmful things that get blown way out of proportion.
Why not have a "war on drunk driving", "war on slippery floors" or a "war on electricity" ?

This is an honest question; I simply do not understand why we're holding out on this one guy
Then you simply haven't been paying enough attention.
Unless they are big companies, then they just get the laws, adjusted.
