So you would bite off your nose to spite your face?

Brilliant!

Are you telling us we need to start worrying about clones or pod people? How else are they going to use it in nefarious ways?

Agreed. But for some reason for you that doesn't resolve to the Germans should not have been considering an offer of asylum. That is a serious misjudgment. Also, should we take it from your statement that the Germans don't value the US?

Agreed. And that is why it is puzzling that the Germans would be intrested in helping to create damage to the intelligence services that as you imply they rely on.

You're confused about whose actions constitute "childish antics." That would have been the Germans had they gone through with it despite the serious damage occurring on many levels.

Your entire chain of reasoning on this is faulty.

And yet nobody worries about this when Snowden provides information accessible by terrorists that is needed to avoid surveillance. Curious, isn't it?

Do you have any words of caution for the Germans over their ill-considered idea of offering Snowden asylum?

Who wasn't bugging the German Prime Minister's phone calls? Or, as the register puts it:

Angela Merkel's phone was being listened in on by FIVE foreign powers

correct

Your assessment is useless. It apparently isn't even infomed by anything so pedestian as Canadian newspapers that have carried many stories on people being arrested for involvement in terrorism. I have no idea how you could make such an enormous cognitive error. Its as if you are in a room with a mouse and an elephant, claim there is no elephant, but damn(!) that mouse is a problem!

Russia still occupies (formerly?) German territory that it annexed and stationed military units in (including nuclear weapons). Maybe you've heard that they are invading neighboring countrries again, taking their territory, and annexing it? There are many European countries threatened by Russian aggression in this regard.

Russia had made repeated threats involving use of nuclear weapons. Maybe you missed that Puting just stated his willingness to brandish nuclear weapons in order to annex Crimea?

I'm pretty sure that the Russians aren't either imaginary or "retro-communists." And the "terrorists" of concern aren't "terrorists," they are terrorists. The US didn't fund or create them.

I hope you're actually good at your job.

You've got the question wrong. It isn't a question of "is terrorism more offensive", but rather, "does the site advocate terrorism?" That is a simple and fairly objective task in many cases.

Wrong when directed at you, just as wrong when directed at government.

Since I realize that in the Western hemisphere there are a number of nations that have referred to themselves as "united states," and you claim to be in the "united states," I have to ask: Have you ever actually been to the United States of America, the one immediately south of Canada? The totality of the substance of your comments would seem to indicate the answer is "No" and that your only familiarity with it comes from the most lurid tales from a fringe left weekly.

You're a bit confused about the facts. The US kicked North Vietnam's ass repeatedly which is why they signed the peace treaty. After the North Vietnamese agreed to peace the US withdrew from South Vietnam. The North Vietnamese then invaded since the people that kept kicking their ass had left.

The North Vietnamese didn't take the base "fair and square." They lied, broke a peace treaty, engaged in a war of aggression by invading South VIetnam, and terribly abused the people of South Vietnam in addition to abusing the people of North Vietnam. Ever hear of their "reeducation camps"? Or the boat people?

As to having ""operation freedom" shoved up their ass," that didn't work out so well for either Saddam or Bin Laden, did it? Or were you confused on that point?

If you think it is the US "raising most of the tensions in the "region"", you don't know what you are talking about. Try the Chinese, who are threatening their neighbors and making claims on their territory.

If they can't manage to remove those references from a public web site then there is no concerted effort to keep them from being used.

If you believe that I think that government can never make a mistake then you have no useful idea about what I think despite your implied familiarity with my posting history and beliefs. Perhaps your should try making more arguments yourself instead of playing mind reader since you do it so badly.

Actually there have been calls for massive government intervention and widespread, harsh restrictions on people's daily activities, not to mention the economy as a whole, in order to "combat" what is now referred to by the nonspecific term "climate change." Your often uninformed commentary from a fringe perspective does little to flatter you.

I've noticed that a lot of things that seem true to you aren't so. That is just one of the many hazards of your ideology.

Do you think they'll be updating the story to show it may have a few "flaws"?
