Do we really have a right to privacy?

[gtq838]

wait a minute, so you are saying here that people shouldn't have the right to privacy but terrorist should have privacy on their calls, omg.

NO, we apparently don't live on the same planet.

You're an idiot and didn't listen to what I said. In the beginning I said that we have the right to privacy from the government prying into our lives, and we have the right to divulge only what we want (this includes terrorists) but our lives are not exempt from others seeing who we are. You're just on an idiotic vendetta for a comment I made and you're commenting on shit you haven't listened to and don't comprehend.

[gtq838]

wow, ok, so people can do whatever they want and the government shouldn't exist.

Yep, thats a different planet dude.

I tend to agree. Privacy is something individuals have to create for themselves; it is not present by default. When walking down a street, people might look into your parked car, and what are you going to do about it? Although this is the case with the public, don't you think we should have some regulation to prevent government from snooping around without cause? If a police officer was looking in the back window of your car, don't you think they should have a reason?

[efletch91]

My view here—like I said in the video, these views hold reservations re: the government—is that while you have no inherent right to privacy in individual to individual relations, there is a difference between this and individual to government relations. A police officer, working in his official capacity, is a tool of the government. Therefore this should not be viewed in the same light as a private individual. I oppose government with every bone of my body. It's intrinsically oppressive.

[gtq838]

that makes sense, you oppose government but support the rights of terrorist illegally living in america that are plotting to kill us and are against using even the threat of violence against terrorist that have information that is killing us soldiers.

nice clear logic

[efletch91]

I oppose government prying into the lives of people, and its existence at all. I support the rights of people, no matter who they are, to live their lives without interference by outside entities who serve no purpose but to oppress and control. To be honest, I don't particularly care about soldiers dying. They are pawns of oppression in an unjust war, support as labor an imperialist and ethnocentric endeavor, and have cruel and unjust practices like "drop-weapons." If one dies, fine by me.

[gtq838]

exactly my point, if a soldier dies you don't give a shit... the very same soldiers that are diffending your right to say such insane crap. but if a known terrorist gets spied on damn the government and his liberties have been violated...

remember the right to life? Soldiers have the right to live, terrorist aim to take that right away, the superceeds their right to private phone calls...

I still say you are just an asshole...
