In reply to the discussion: Take A Break From The Snowden Drama For A Reminder Of What He's Revealed So Far [View all]cynzke
(1,254 posts)Voicing opinions about Snowden does not mean people defend the NSA. That is just baloney. Why do people think everybody has to beat the same drum at the same time? Those who want to comment on the NSA actions are free to do so and are doing so. If you want to keep the topic on the NSA, simply say you would like to focus on the NSA and would appreciate leaving the Snowden aspect of it out of the discussion of this thread. I could understand and respect that. Otherwise, the thread is open for everyone to express an opinion on the entire scope of this situation. I strongly disagree with the way Snowden is handling this and I suspect some of his motives. Having said that, I think Snowden was right to expose the NSA and our government in domestic spying. Just because I choose in any one thread to comment on Snowden, does not mean I must ALSO voice and opinion about the NSA. It my prerogative to do so when and where I want. We shouldn't be telling people.....you should be talking about what the NSA did, not about Snowden. Wrong, if YOU want to talk about the NSA, then talk. If others choose to talk about Snowden, they have that right. We can agree or disagree with opinions but we shouldn't be chastising people on what the choice of topic.
