You're cleaning up the wrong fucking mess though. You're focused on tracking down some guy rather than addressing the fact that the President of the United States specifically ran on promises of ending the surveillance state and instead, chose to increase it by an insane amount. Yet, here we...

So, it's only ok to subvert authority is if it isn't yours? It's ok to break some laws, but not others? I'm arguing you on the principle of your belief and the only thing you can come at me with is some bullshit Nationalism crap? Weak.

But he broke a law and by your two's standing, he should be handed over to the authorities.

And within a week, the news has moved onto something new and shiny, and forgets that Snowden ever existed.

So if tomorrow, a North Korean officer or high ranking military member releases a shit ton of classified North Korean information that could assist in bringing that regime down, he should be ignored and shipped back to Kim Jong-Un for summery execution?

So, is it your opinion that anyone who breaks any of their nation's laws in an effort to expose wrongdoings in that nation, should be given up to said government for trial/punishment? Or just when an American does it to the American government?

So Harriet Tubman should have been captured and imprisoned/executed for aiding the release of slaves from the south? I feel like you're fucking giving me brain cancer over here, man.

You're*, you fucking moron.

That's critical thinking and most people just aren't comfortable with it these days. It's insane listening to most of you in this thread. "It was a law, so that makes him bad! Grrr!" Are you fucking serious? So you think Martin Luther King Jr. should have been put in prison? Harriet Tubman...

Do you ever say anything that's worth reading?

Right now, a lot of my energy is spent assisting my roommates care for and rehabilitate a close friend that is suffering from ALL (Acute lymphoblastic leukemia). I also donate money to different organizations and try to help spread the idea that Humanism should trump Nationalism. We're all...

So the fact that you are 7 times more likely to be killed by a peace officer in the US than you are a terrorist means nothing? The fact that we have blanket surveillance of the US populous that hinges on future administrations to not push it even further than they already have means nothing? The...

It's crazy to have respect for human life? Man...you are a twisted brute. Way to go though, I'm sure you're all about furthering our species as a whole. No? Then the furthering of your nation? No? Ok, ok, just the ones who agree with you then. You and your ilk make up 1.5% of the human...

Mmmmm delicious ad hominem. You must get all the bitches with your leet debate skills.

Man, you really shut me down with that great rebuttal. Good job, buddy. You saw it in this thread just a page back. The "white guilt card" bullshit. The fact that the American government saw fit to draft a constitution that stated all men were created equal but supported the slave industry...

There is a growing trend in this nation to pretend the past actions of our nation have nothing to do with us. We are taught that we are not responsible for the actions of those who came before us and that they were really just trying their best to keep America safe. Those with the ability to...

Yeah, the increasing number of "domestic terrorists" is about to jump in the next 10 years I'd imagine. Shit, Obama himself mentions one of the reasons for winding everything down in the middle east was to bring people home to focus on the rising domestic terrorism in his recent national...

United States territory spying. Our adversaries. This language seems pretty fucking awful...

PRISM is pretty much the definition of colorful lol

Good for you. Those of us who actually give a shit about our privacy, will continue to be angry about the governments unfettered spying programs. I'm sure house American Inventors all over the south felt the same about slavery. "It's unstoppable, so I may as well suck this white man's cock to live in...

So all I have to do is prove that I had an expectation for it to become legally binding? Where is the proof that they led them to believe it was time to be spent in a sexual nature? Show me the craigslist ad in question that makes it so apparent they were selling sex.

Except it changed hands and became her's when he paid her for her time. She had no LEGAL obligation to carry out an unlawful act. She fulfilled her oral agreement when she spent her time with him.

He shouldn't have given it to her. His fault, this is worse than the George Zimmerman case. At least there, he provoked the kid into making an attack on him.

Jesus. It's crazy how many people have decided to switch to trolling. Eh.

How so? He shot and killed a woman for not performing a criminal act, which he did not pay for. This implies that if you give someone money, with the intention of getting them to carry out an illegal act, and they do not follow through with it and don't return the money they earned through...

My question is, was there anything the judge could have done? After reading the obviously unjust ruling by the jury, was the judge at all legally able to force the jury back to deliberation and call for the defense used to be a misrepresentation of the law, as it OBVIOUSLY does NOT apply to this...

How many Native Americans/Africans died at the hands of early United States doctrine?

As someone who is currently living in San Antonio, when I read about this yesterday, I flipped shit. This is a HUGELY unacceptable ruling and shows that the court system here in Texas is utterly inept at meting out proper justice. I have lost faith in a system that I was barely able to hold onto...

I'm off Wednesday, so I'm game

lynda.com It's a pay site, but has an incredible selection of very well done instructional videos dealing with varied subjects

Still doesn't give one the right to murder. You can never kill all the killers, because you are left with...killers. Also, the amount of innocent lives that would be lost in the process are more than enough reason to never go that route. You can't solve violence with violence. We need to work...

One can condemn an action but also not need to call for reciprocation. The first step to recovery is admitting one has a problem. We as a species have a problem, and I know it seems a hopeless cause, but I won't call for the deaths of those I condemn for killing. Violence begets violence and all...

What does that have to do with the argument presented? Character assassinations aren't actually a form of debate. Also, I think it's important to state that I don't defend the actions of the peoples of these nations, but it's my belief that they have as much of a right to take life as we do...

Records? I mean, there were 53,364 living centenarians in the United States alone at last count in 2010. And she was living by my last update of her, which admittedly was a year or so ago. I don't have much touch with my family anymore. We used to burn women at the stake for having ideas. But we...

So just because America has been treating women "well" for what, the past 60 years now, we're somehow better than everyone that has ever existed? Shit, I have family that were born before women could fucking vote in this country that are still breathing, but WE'VE COME SO FAR! Now look at the...

Therein lies the real heart of the solution, a solution we can only find once the dust of the violence has settled and we actually begin to have an honest conversation about the situation.

Where once did I say we were the sole reason? I said we are currently, and have been for the past 60 years, heavily agitating the situation. I said let's pull out, not that Islam is all pretty roses and the evil White people made them all mad. I said that rational thought has been shown to...

Dude. Only Sith deal in absolutes.

Also known as the George Zimmerman defense.

You realize the terrorist talking point of recruitment has shifted heavily from "hate them for their freedom" to the more widely accepted "hate them because they're murdering you". You take that away, and yes, I believe rational minds may again prevail in that region, but they are going to go...
