Submission + - Irate NSA Staffer Doesn't Like Being Filmed in Public, for Some Reason

An anonymous reader writes: The Intercept writes "The NSA sent someone bearing the nametag “Neal Z.” to the University of New Mexico’s Engineering and Science Career Fair today, in the hopes of recruiting young computer geniuses to help manage the yottabytes of data it is collecting about you. But instead of eager young applicants, Mr. Z. encountered University of New Mexico alumnus Andy Beale and student Sean Potter, who took the rare opportunity of being in the room with a genuine NSA agent to ask him about his employer’s illegal collection of metadata on all Americans. Mr. Z. did not like that one bit."

Is their religion on such shaky grounds that it can't stand up to some critical thinking?

I live in Europe. In country that bans some forms of hate speech and stuff like denial or minimization of genocides ... I sometimes pose a similar question: is our society on such shaky grounds that we have to be afraid of these forms of speech and ban it by law? Will critical thinking not prevails? As the time passes, I'm more and more leaning to "yes, we are indeed so stupid". It's sad.

Be careful what you wish for. We, in more central Europe, had a very mild winter too. But if there is so much snow as there is rainfall during last 3 month (there were no 4 consecutive days without rain), then we will be buried in snow up to 2nd floor.

Stop yer damn whining and delete the FREE ALBUM.

Also uninstall AdBlock and disable your spam filter, you whiner! And be happy to receive the free offers for buying V1AGRA and C1ALI5 with huge discount. If you don't like the e-mails and the pop-ups, it takes much less than 5 seconds to delete the unwanted e-mail or close the browser pop-up.

Btw, what do you suggest to do if your music collection you've built over last 15 years happens to expand ten-fold with "FREE ALBUMS" every night?
