    OBAMA IS THE WORST FUCKING PRESIDENT EVER BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LIVE UP TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF OUR FUCKING EXPECTATIONS!

    1) This is not news and 2) three parts is not the entire patriot act itself.

    I don't know it's just that extendign the PATRIOT Act is a pretty fucking big fuck up as far as i'm concerned.
  • RaddRadd
    You just hate it becuse it has the word "Patriot" in it, don't you?
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    No it's because it's a blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment.

    Yeah, that's the amendment we should be most concerned for. 
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138

    It's an act that allows the government to spy on anyone they choose because they are put on a bullshit list and deamed "suspected terorrists" you know with monitering and wire tapping. You know the drill.

    @Chagen: Can't believe you've never heard of it before.
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    Neither can I honestly.
  • RaddRadd
    But he didn't even extend the bad parts.
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138

    The parts he extended.

    ^It's almost a decade old now, so this is kind of something you should be aware of.

    ^^ Neither do I, but even then.

    ^ This is what Wikipedia said he extended:

    >President Barack Obama signed a 4-year extension of three key provisions in the USA Patriot Act[2] : roving wiretaps, searches of business records (the "library records provision"), and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves" — individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups.[3]

    Sounds pretty shady to me.

    I don't give a shit about contemporary news because it's usually boring and vacous.

    I am more in the know, now. It's mainly Popular Culture I know nothing of.

    Hold on to that. That way, you won't have to give a shit about other peoples' music.
  • Tnu1138Tnu1138
    Those are the "good parts"? As in the government forcing people to turn over private personal confidential information and spying on people? As in a violation of the fourth amendment and our civil rights?

    H onestly those things. being forced to turn over records, surveillance, wiretapping? Those are all the parts I was fucking talking about, and you people wonder why I'm so paranoid and don't feel safe.
  • RaddRadd
     As in a violation of the fourth amendment and our civil rights?

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    This doesn't violate either of those things.

    Your dad has never talked about this at all? I thought he normally keeps you up-to-date by crazy political plots and what not?

    "Your dad has never talked about this at all? I thought he normally keeps you up-to-date by crazy political plots and what not"

    He's too busy screaming about Obama being a Communist Not-Born-Here Muslim, Liberals all being Islamic Socialists, how GAWD is the only way to salvation, and thinly vieled hatred towards those ebul brown people in the Middle East.
