Why are we spied upon so much?

Spied upon? The US must maintain a due diligence against all enemies foreign and domestic. We thus must allow law enforcement certain privileges to protect all of us. If you aren't doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about.

Because people like to snoop around! They want to know your dirty little secrets.\n\nWanna make it backfire? Fill the medicine cabinet with marbles before a dinner party. Anyone who opens it, well, everyone will know. :)

There is alot that the Government hides from us.  They hide it because they are afraid of us.  We really have the power....the more people DON'T know this the MORE they can control us!

There are now hundreds of thousands of names that you could add to the list, and more each day.\nAs people are becoming more disenamoured with the present government, they are becoming more prepared to make a better study of the events of 9/11.\nOnce they become truly aware of the facts, it becomes obvious that the government is guilty of a cover-up

Not that this is an excuse, but honestly, do you really think that your life is so interesting that the government cares enough about it to snoop through your stuff?  If it is, mad props and all, but I'm just not that concerned with the idea of Big Brother knowing what I REALLY think about my co-workers and that I'm one of those nerds who fills out online surveys for free stuff.

Don't we like to keep a watch on your house, our possessions.. so why not our country? \nAnd why are people complaining, if they have no hidden agenda !

Yes, my Spy Boot is definitely collecting my personal information. My Spel Cheekier is spying on me also. Seems yours is too. You are so wise to not use it.

It's simple. It's made us paranoid to the point we're becoming more like the countries we're trying to spread our "freedom" to. If this is what freedom is, no wonder they kill us for trying to give it to them.

I think that some people obsess of people because there bord. Or looking for ecitement in life or something

If you have so much money that people are always asking for some of it, then a level of your privacy has been taken by those people.  To me that is too much money.

All those little ads on the top and sides of your screen. Also when you search they collect information about you and that becomes valuable targeted advertising.

They hide alot of things because society tends to have a mob mentality and large groups of people tend to panic easily. So it is probably a good thing that we dont know everything, I cant imagine the kind of chaos that would insue if we did.

i am a pretty paranoid person, so yes i do feel like i'm being watched. some people watch others because they want to know if there life is more interesting than theres perhaps. other people are paranoid because they feel insecure about themselves.

I don't particularly like it.  I mean, who really wants someone spying on them?  On the other hand, people say that it's necessary for our safety.  I mean, do we want another September 11th?  \n\nI guess what it really comes down to is, I don't mind them checking up on people as long as they use it wisely and don't go too far.  But then, who decides how far is too far?

They are planning to seperate us, put fear into us, make us feel like they need to spy on us to protect us, but they are protecting themselves from us. We are the power not them.  We can beome forward thinkers and get our country on the right track with a few simple solutions that they dont want us to do because they are making way to much money to ever care about the poverty class, about the middle class, they only want the rich to be in power, they want you to believe that we cant do anything.
