That's dangerous territory. Just because you haven't committed a crime doesn't mean giving up privacy is a good thing. This used to be a country hailed as a haven from big brother states. I just don't want to see us becoming what we set out to destroy.

What does the government want to know about you?

Probably every detail of my life. This government likes to spy on peace protesters.

Why do you protest peace? I love peace. If you're protesting peace, the government should investigate you and probably recommend you be committed to a mental hospital.

He protests "for" peace.

Clearly, anyone that doesn't agree with you is insane. Clearly.

Why do you even bother debating?

So he is really a war protester. Another confused liberal. I'm against war also. When is the government going to start spying on me?

I believe you said it once yourself: picking on grammar and typo errors is a cheap thing to use in a debate.

Obviously the government doesn't have to spy on you; you've already demonstrated your blind servitude.

Morality is not contingent on religion to exist. Therefore religion only detracts from the purity of morality.

I don't call rational thinking blind servitude. I am not serving the government, the government is doing it's job of protecting my family.
