Russia was never a "friend", it was stupid of Americans to ever think so. Russia is still pissed about the fall of the Soviet Union and the west constantly trying to box them in. Really, if the shoe were on the other foot and the US had crumbled after the cold war, and the USSR had turned Canada, Alaska and Puerto Rico into Soviet allied states, would Americans think Russia was a friend? Probably not. So I don't know why we are surprised that Russia still acts aggressively towards us and it's break away neighbors.

I didn't like it as first, but it grew quite a bit on me. It takes some time to get used to the art style and absurd characters.
Oh yay, another crusader making a fuss about a complete non-issue. Maybe only white people applied for the job, or were the most qualified? Not everything has to be about race. Honestly, I think it speaks to TC's frame of mind when the first thing he notices about the review crew is their race.
Who cares? We are all focused on the wrong thing. Whether you consider Snowden or Manning a hero or traitor is irrelevant, what we should be worried about is the U.S. and other western governments massive breaches in our fundamental rights.
They are not doing anything with your cell phone calls, you are merely a small, unwanted fish in the net that will be thrown back. Paranoid delusions of grandeur run rampant among Americans.
A) It's the principle of the matter. Americans love their constitution, yet seem to have no problem when the NSA/CIA/government shits all over it.

Maybe B) exhibits why A) is not factual. The NSA's mass collection of data is not unconstitutional -exploiting, analyzing, and acting on that data without a warrant is. Without exploitation it is simply raw data sitting on a hard drive.
This is where people buy into the media hype and all the nutty blogs and disregard all facts and reason. No one is listening to Joe Blow's phone calls without a warrant, period. Being in possession of those phone calls does not represent a violation of the 4th amendment.
@toast_burner Who is saying he is only a dirtbag because of the legality of it?
So I guess they are just collecting the data for shits and giggles eh?
Hmmm, a feminist being stupid and melodramatic? Nothing to see hear folks.
If we ban bossy, we will just start using another word for over bearing bitches (ie. pushy).
Oh wow, don't do something rash that you can't take back Obama (sarcasm). This amounts to basically nothing. Its kind of amusing watching the West get their knickers in a twist when Russia invades a country, after all the countries we have fucked with, then be too afraid to actually do anything about it. To be honest, we (the West) should just back off. It is obvious we don't have the guts to play chicken with Putin, so we might was well pull out now before we embarrass ourselves.
