Wrong, people aren't morons. Statistics on average IQs can demonstrate that.
Wrong. IQ != intelligence. A grand majority of people are unintelligent.

Yeah this is exactly why people have a real problem with ubiquitous spy networks.
I have a real problem with them not only because of that, but because I simply don't want my privacy to be violated. I see the mere collection of this data as an abuse in and of itself.
They need security software that cannot be bypassed that logs everything in incorruptible logs for future review, and auto-stored at multiple sites without delete communication (someone at any given site cannot send out a signal to alter or delete logs at other sites.)
No. We need to get rid of the entire organization and get rid of the system they have in place to wiretap to begin with.
Isn't the right to life the most basic right of all?
I do not want the government to violate our rights to keep us safe. And to begin with, it isn't the government that's violating that "basic right" of which you speak, so it's an utterly irrelevant point when you're talking to people who don't want the government violating our rights.
It sure fooled me.
His leaks are directly damaging to the intelligence agencies of the US and its allies.
I wish that were true. In fact, I wish his leaks do so much damage to them that it utterly destroys these parasites, but sadly, I doubt that's going to be the case.
All it takes to pass is a tiny bit of motivation; all you have to do is memorize facts and spew them all back on worthless tests and exams. Now, if you stopped caring completely (and I can't blame anyone who would)...
The debate is mostly whether or not it should be CALLED marriage. Is this really THAT important?
Not so much. Words have multiple meanings, but religious imbeciles can't stand it when someone uses 'their' precious word in ways that they don't like. If we're not going to call it "gay marriage," then normal marriage should be renamed as well.
Not funny according to you? Other people clearly find such jokes quite humorous. Maybe you're just a bit oversensitive and have trouble realizing that telling jokes or not telling jokes won't have any effect on how many people get raped in reality?
If any significant plot had been prevented we could have a public debate on the merits
Whether any plot has been prevented is completely irrelevant. We don't trade our freedoms for security even if that security is real.
I was more so referring to the article writer's idiotic idea of simply ignoring the constitution.
This has nothing to do with liberals or conservatives (many of both of them want to violate the constitution), but just plain stupidity.
Our sometimes flagrant disregard of the Constitution has not produced chaos or totalitarianism; on the contrary, it has helped us to grow and prosper.
We're slipping towards a police state and he says this nonsense? Yes, just ignore the damn thing; we've done so in the past, so it's okay!
No loss to you, you mean. What, you think only things you find valuable are valuable?
If you are afraid to be known for your comments and insist on posting anonymously, then your credibility isn't worth shit and your comments are, for the most part, not worth consideration.
And if an AC claims that 1 + 1 = 2, he must be wrong, or not credible! Yeah!
Or maybe they're not "afraid" of identifying themselves (Seriously, how hard or scary would it be to make an account? Do you think you're a tough guy or something?) but simply don't want an account and want people to interpret each of their messages in ways that don't involve taking into accounts all the other posts they've made.
Identify yourself or be laughed at and ridiculed.
Thanks for identifying yourself, msobkow.
