are the constant phone tappings and violations of privacy worth it? (adressing the NSA and PRISM)

They state this is solely used for tapping the common person but what about all the politicians they are tapping? They are taking an "anti terrorist" system and are using to spy on foreign affairs that concern only insiders of said affair. What concerns foreign affairs could have the possibility of concerning us. They could be plotting against us. It could possibly be a conspiracy. Like what if while we're listening to them, they include us into their conversations. They could still have the potential to be harboring terrorists that we're after. It's not much of a risk if it is worth to protect our national security. This act of international tapping and spying cost the U.S its relationship with Germany. Wasn't that already screwed over with World War II? I believe that we have pissed on them much that they don't like us already. We've already done much to make them get much butt hurt from us. The "anti terrorist" role of PRISM is nothing but a facade to hide its true purpose. True, we can't possibly know their true purpose to what they're doing but that doesn't exclude the fact that they can actually have an anti terrorist role by tapping into our phones and invading our privacy. Even if anti terrorism is their side purpose, something to at least do, it helps us, it is something that will at least protect our lives regardless of what their true purpose is unless it will actually harm us by which I could not think of examples of which they could do that unless they reveal and leak top secret information from our government to foreign nations. Now, here's why I don't see why those guys shouldn't be spying on us. First, some definitions: NSA: is a U.S. intelligence agency responsible for the production and management of signals intelligence (SIGINT) and information assurance for the United States government http://en.wikipedia.org... PRISM: a clandestine mass electronic surveillance data mining program launched in 2007 by the National Security Agency http://en.wikipedia.org...(surveillance_program) THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT OUR PERSONAL LIVES See, what our privacy is includes our stuff that we don't want to reveal to certain people. Say someone had an addiction to porn. Someone else has had a crush on someone but was too afraid to handle it. Someone else was peeing on a hobo's face but no one knows who that guy is. Someone else is retarded but that person doesn't know it. Someone else ate a pizza that was on the floor. There are many examples of stuff that we choose not to reveal to certain people that is too embarrassing for us to say to others. Everyone out there knows what's up and has problems and stuff like this in our personal lives that we don't want to reveal to others. Then, we all have that special buddy, that confidante, that person who we'd like to give our trust to, someone who we'd spill our guts about embarrassing stories and conditions that we have. Now, there are a billion people who have stuff they prefer not to say except to that one person they talk on the phone with. The NSA and PRISM could tap our phones and listen in onto these conversations but the fact is, they literally don't care at all. They go through a bunch of these and they would literally not care at all for they listen to stuff like these everyday. You need not worry what the NSA be listening to you talk about how you're a sad guy with no life when they don't care as they hear this stuff all the time. They only need to absorb the information of a potential terrorist plot about to occur. So what if people listen in our personal lives. You can just know that the NSA will not give a damn about what you're talking about. THERE'S NO REASON TO FEAR FOR YOUR PRIVACY UNLESS IT'S BAD Since the NSA don't care about your personal life, there's no reason to fear about the NSA tapping into your phones unless you got something bad to talk about over the phone. For example, someone has cheated on your spouse so you plan on killing them. Or you are a drug dealer going to deal some drugs. Bad stuff that you plan over the phone like an assassination attempt against the president. Obviously, you would fear the NSA from tapping into your phones. If you are simply having personal chatting time that is not illegal stuff, there is no need to fear about having your house knocked down by the authorities. Remember, they could care less about your innocent personal life. THE CHANCES OF CATCHING TERRORISTS OUTWEIGH YOUR PRIVACY Now, if the NSA would tap the phones, they could get any potential terrorist plots. terrorist: a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes http://dictionary.reference.com... Now, terrorists are out to get you and ruin your life as they had done in the blowing up of the World Towers. http://www.statisticbrain.com... That is a lot of deaths. When you live life, you know that your life is precious, it is valued. You spend a very, very long time living your life. When it can simply all end just like that, it is terrifying. It is horrid and would cause a lot of emotional pain to those who loved you and cared about you. Even to the strangers who you don't know that died because of the terrorist attack, you would still feel for them. Now, is it really a big difference about fearing for the invasion of privacy that the NSA is doing or is the value of your life more important? Your privacy won't matter if your life ends. Yes, it is very worth it for the NSA to tap into our phones and invade our privacy to protect us from terrorists that could potentially end our lives and our privacy wouldn't even matter anymore. So, I say this is much to think about when you value privacy over your life.
