How did you go from recording to banning? Last time I checked the NSA didn't ban phone calls, they tapped them. Don't get me wrong, Im not very fond of it, but I have nothing to hide. I pay my taxes, follow the law, and generally don't cause problems. If recording phone calls MIGHT help catch even ONE terrorist, then I will give up that privacy. Like I have said before, never say anything you don't want repeated. To me the only people who should be upset are those who are trying to hide something from the govt.
Not only that, but do you really think some kind of communications recording hasn't been going on for years? I'm not trying to get all conspiracy theroy on you, but wake up. They have the means to do it.
You ever see Enemy of the State staring Will Smith? He was being chased by the FBI for being linked to a murder. He met some ex CIA agent or something and the guy told him "When I worked for the CIA there was a list of 50 words that if said over the phone would start and automatic recording of your conversation. You think the list hasn't grown to 500?"
Anyway, I don't mind giving up the "privacy" over the phone. I have nothing to hide, I don't say things I don't want repeated, and in my opinion they have and WILL ALWAYS be doing some kind of communications recording. The public is just aware of it now.
While they might actually catch a terrorist using this database, that doesn't make it worth it.
What are you talking about? If that one terrorist would have been responsible for my family's death, it would be worth it!
I think there are a lot of Americans collectively wishing for either Mexico to take it back, or to have it fall into the sea. Best case scenario, both would happen, and in that order.
I dont know why, but that really made my day.

If I am not mistaken, there is a big caldera on New Zeland. Perhaps the last eruption knocked out all but the birds.
the "insightful" rating should be changed to "merely insightful"
This doesnt just affect Americans. It affects everyone everywhere. To me, Congress shouldn't have the right to make this descision.
Why don't we ban all editorials?

Would this be a new Porn 2.0 fad with auto suggest cup sizes?

But what about my fake rock? What am I supposed to do with it now?
