(20,043 posts)BUT I do think what Snowden did was wrong. And I'm not going to apologize for that.
He stole. Plain and simple. If you want to overlook that because you think he did for a good reason that's on you. I don't have to do that or agree with that.
But don't call me twisted, fascist or any of the other fucking pet names that are being used because I think what he did was wrong.
When you take something that doesn't belong to you it's stealing. And since we don't know what's been taken we don't know if something that could put us at risk is out there. We also don't know if he's walking around with citizens private information, but apparently that's ok.
You (the collective you) don't want to hear you're being spied on for your own good as a reason for that wrong doing. So don't tell me he stole for my own good.
AND NO I do NOT approve of spying on American citizens.
Do not confuse not approving of what Snowden did or the way Greenwald is handling things with approving of the NSA/spying.
Now we'll see how fast someone does exactly that ^^^ or says 'so you think it's ok Mr. Miranda was detained" even though I didn't say one word about that.
I also don't approve of ANON hacking and putting all that personal info out like they did the other day after the incident. That's just wrong. Those people have families. A over zealot person could hurt someone. When you play with fire someone eventually gets burned.
