4 more years!

I do understand people getting freaked out, but ARR YOUR emails haven't been read, or your phones tapped...

Google maps is more of a threat to the yous and mes of this county than the Patriot Act

1) How would you know whose emails have been read, phones tapped, etc.?

2) Google Maps is satellite photography that, theoretically, anyone could take.

3) Google doesn't have the ability to arrest a person.


So..... False.



How many terrorist attacks happened BEFORE the Patriot Act was passed?


Your odds of being killed in a terrorist attack:
1 / 10 Million (approx)

Your odds of being hit by lightning:
1 / 500,000


I'll take my chances and my privacy, please.

I had no idea that poetry could apply

Thanks for answering my question...

Did you know that 999/1082 people have no idea what the Patriot Act actually is... 4/13 people think it has to do with the NFL, 19/2944 people have never heard of it, 9/10 people hate PB&J and 10 percent of one thousand in 100

So....huh?


It's not as if drug dealers and kids trying to find a 21 year old to buy them booze are getting arrested because of TPA, you guys do realize that if we had something like this in August of 2001 the WTC attacks wouldn't have happened right? I know, I know, 4/15 love Ren and Stimpy and 21/1000 people are going to be able to watch the new ROH show this fall, but I have no idea what lighting and Stimpy have to do with TPA

It wouldn't have stopped 9/11.

It is easy to see this works just like the bible says. They can easily fake any voices over a phone and use it to get anyone who is a threat to there hidden organizations arrested. The 9/11 attacks would have happened as the government has known about it for many years in advance. The 1995 20 dollar bill is proof of that. Its not long before this planet is under one control and then its to late. It is destined to come. Illuminati and the NWO fit perfectly into the bibles description of the end of times. This fits perfectly into the end of times.

I am for cell phones and technology such as that and website searches being done as you don't have to have a cell phone and you have more choices. It should just be put in the manuals. Lets face it no one reads the manuals anyway. As for e-mails and public phones it should need warrants but the warrants should be made easier to get.

Between internet searches and cell phone use and street cameras you'd be able to get all the info you needed to get a phone tap and e-mail tap. Websites the same and tapping should be allowed. Between all that stuff the only way terrorists would be able to communicate would be via phone service and mail and private situations. With criminal records, records of interest types on the internet, and family history, way they dress they'd easily stop as many as they are with this.

I provide actual logic, you reply with this.

Do you see why I have a hard time seeing your side of the argument?



LoL, like the government has EVER used legislature exactly how it was intended.

There is now no need for a warrant for ANYTHING. They can enter your home, search it, leave, and never tell you about it. This is a blatant invasion of privacy and a DIRECT violation of the Fourth Amendment.

I don't care what it was intended for. The fact that MY rights are being taken away is ing absurd.

If the government sees me sitting at home all day, rarely ever leaving, having friends over, then driving around in an expensive vehicle when I do leave; they can decide, "Hey, let's look in this guy's house. He's probably selling drugs."

I'm not. I'm designing websites, writing, and playing Xbox.

My rights are being infringed upon by the simple fact that this is even a POSSIBILITY.



According to WHAT? What evidence do you have of that?

The White House had information that the attacks were going to happen. This is not debated. The problem was their own ing incompetence.

The terrorists who committed those acts had never committed any crimes in America to my knowledge. They weren't setting off any red flags. So how would the Patriot Act have stopped 9/11?

That honestly has to be the most ignorant statement I have seen on this board in quite some time. And there have been some doozies. Congratulations on your unbelievable misunderstanding of what actually happened.



WORD.

They were plenty enough. The people in charge didn't do a good enough job of stopping the attacks.



There are varying levels of intensity. This one should have been stopped.

Bottom line, the Patriot Act wouldn't have stopped it. To say that, as you did, is ing absurd.



They already HAD the power to watch over them. They just need a judge to approve the search warrants. It's not that difficult.



The difference is that one is voluntary, the other is involuntary.

I can get naked if I want to at a private location, too, but that doesn't mean I want the government passing around pictures of my junk.
