Though Snowden is eligible for nomination for the December 2014 prize, it's unlikely he'd be able to travel to Oslo for the award ceremony
I chuckled at that part.

Shits made out of gold. That's worth a lot of "favors" down in whichever nazi refuge he fled to. You know if you award it he'll come pick it up.

It's been a while since a person whose moral ideals most of Europe favors that much had to ask for asylum in Russia. I think the last time was 1799 when the knights of Malta had to give up their island to France and their vows prohibited them from fighting other Christians, so Tsar Paul granted them asylum.

I don't know if you can really say that though. There's a camera on every street corner in london.

I'm not trying to get very deep with it, but I dunno if you can reduce it to the level of moral ideas like that, and do it fairly. America is just doing what America has always done. Stealing your shitty ideas and making them bigger, longer, uncut.

I was talking about the population, not the governments. It's pretty clear at this point our governments are just happy with their puppets of USA role. Our secretary of the interior just came back from going "fist on table" at the NSA, and all he had to show was lies he was probably ordered to spread here.

it probably went like this

You would think that if such a strong majority supported ending these programs, both in Europe and the US, they would put pressure on the government to stop them.

I think most people are still thinking about what it means overall behind the initial reaction of not caring. Not everyone is a philosopher and can quickly work out the basic reasoning.

My government just fucked up royally something else, like deporting people (wife and daughter of a dissident) in Kazakhstan, peacefully ruled by some dictator (friend of our "beloved Mr B.) stirring up a shitstorm of ungodly proportion, which is masking another ton of bad shit they are doing on a daily basis, so yeah... Snowden not coming here was a wise choice for him, after all we've always behaved perfectly towards mamma USA.
Plus points if you can figure out the country I come from, not that is hard.

At least he would have had some good food. He must be eating some ungodly nasty shit sitting in a terminal at the Moscow airport.

Thats the surprising thing. Moscow's airport actually has some really great food. Its easily better than most US airports' food, but that aint saying much. Probably cause a lot of millionaires fly through there or something.

That presumes the Govt's cares what the people want. I have no idea what kind of "pressure" the populace could possibly put on the Gov't to stop the programs. Especially when the majority don't even care.

My only experience with airports is terrible food. And my only experience with Russian food is borscht. So I imagine terrible borscht.

Governments don't really listen to the people that much and given most governments past, especially ours, they are pretty much enemies of the people anyway. Don't give me that hogwash that the government is "us". It's not. If that were the case, shit like the Tuskegee experiment, Oak Ridge experiments, subway experiments, and other such things done to the people of this nation by our very own government wouldn't happen. They don't work for us, they don't represent us, and they sure as fuck don't listen to us. And this shit happensall the time, and not one single government employee who took part in any of these has ever been charged.

Historically the masses have not gotten what they want, the elites do, that kinda also makes me nervous about becomming an oil exporting country, one of the reasons places like saudi arabia are fucked up is because they don't have to listen to their people as much, the countries wealth isn't generated through taxes, it's generated through oil.

a populations real strength to negotiate with it's rulers is the power and leverage it brings to the table.

Historically, the masses end up roasting and eating those men of quality on the ashes of the Senate house. The masses just haven't been pushes far enough yet, clearly.

I think Barack Obama receiving the Nobel peace Prize took any respect I've ever had for the title away. Makes no difference who gets it from now on, it has lost its ability to mean anything.
sorry but kissinger opened the hostilities....and we were in 73.there was he rest of the 70's and the 80's,where he showed how a man of peace he was (is)
