I see these posts and I split up into two mindsets
A: who cares? They have my data, whoopdiedo. I mean here I am, living my life. Completely unaffected by this fact and nothing bad has happened yet.
And B: why do they have it? What's so important and dangerous about the average US citizen that warrants this? Am I suddenly gonna snap and mystically conjure up the funds and backing to plot a multipronged violent terrorist attack against the Pentagon, White House and the rest of the country? Just stop!
Either way I'm not entirely sure I care... To be honest.

It is about taking your rights away, so to everyone who says they do not care, they should care. They are doing something illegally and the American people are letting them, just like with a lot of illegal gun legislation that gets passed and the American people allow it. Our freedoms have been slowly taken away since the late 1990s and nobody gives a shit, except for a small few who are going to be protecting the rest of you once they are all gone.

For C&D they have info they could claim warrants on investigation, because it seems that they are up to something.

C? no, sounds more like a pissed off guy that had quality control issues. D? yeah, that's obviously a criminal.

That's mindset B. But again. I haven't felt nor seen any of the affects that everyone is afraid of. For me it's a "they haven't gone and turned the average citizens life upside down yet, so for the moment being, I'm not really concerned at all."

[quote]T For me it's a "they haven't gone and turned the average citizens life upside down yet, so for the moment being, I'm not really concerned at all."[/quote] Thats a horrible mindset, its akin to, robbery is cool until someone robs me.

Edited by TechnoKat: 3/13/2014 11:34:27 AMI'm not saying it's cool at all. Just that, for the time being, it doesn't affect me. The main difference being that I can see the affects of robbery, and I know that it's a real problem. What I don't see is how I'm going to be adversely affected by some government officials going through my browser history and my recent contacts. Like I said, I'm not a threat to anyone, and neither is the average American.

But they often times do ruin lives, such as the massive dangers of drug and prostitution prohibition. Just because we've gotten used to the gradually slow changes of tyranny doesn't mean it doesn't exist and having a profound effect upon us.

All I'm saying is [i]yet.[/i] For right now them having our metadata while pervasive isn't as bad as everyone seems to be throwing it out as. Sure, it could get worse. But it hasn't yet, life is still the same as it was before they were pointed out to the general public. Honestly. What I want to know, is what's going on behind the scenes of the government stage that warranted the distraction that the NSA is. To me it feels like they're a scapegoat that would obviously stir the public up.
