Do you care more about torture or having been spied on?

Poll question: Do you care more about torture or having been spied on?

Which bothers you more, that your country has tortured people or that your Government has spied on you?

Hail to the Chief.

1. both, equally. i cannot choose. i cant. ah well. n/t

9. But you WILL choose -

how many fingernails do you want to lose before deciding?

10. lol lol

you are funny

hence demonstrating the problem. take away right to privacy, not being spied on then it leaves the door open to abuses that will allow torture.

chicken or the egg.

i can look personally and say physical abuse will allow me to chose torture but allowing govt access to all will allow them to torture.

2. I'm mostly pissed that we seem to be letting the criminals get away with it.

5. Never understand these polls

Is this a test?

12. I posted this to get a sense of which seems the greater priority here

You see, when the Government works for the people, and the same Government has limited resources, then prioritizings is essential. I was also interested to see how my opinion compared to that of others. However it wasn't a test, at least it was not meant to be a test. However from your response I guess if it was a test, a single question test, with no right or wrong answer you still managed to tell us that its beyond your comprehension. I am truly sorry for that.

Hail to the Chief.

7. Torture because it's an escalation of abuse beyond spying

and because if my government is torturing anyone, then they can and will eventually abuse someone close to me.

8. Right now spying pisses me off more

Though that could change tomorrow.
Why I am pissed about the spying is I just became aware of how I no longer like using the phone because I don't know who the fuck is listening in.Especially when me and my SO are having phone sex.The thought that some fucking perve is getting his rocks off listening in on us pisses me off to no end.

11. It's not an either/or situation.

Both are very troubling.

It's like asking, "Which do you dislike more, Bush or Cheney?"
