Is security more important than privacy?

White guy tries to explain how he feels about the UK's surveillance society.

Let's discuss this subject properly.

I'll start:
Privacy is more important. A pretext for mass invasion of privacy which only harmed thousands of people in the last decade isn't sufficient. Yes, I'm talking about terrorism.

>Boston Bombings: 3 dead. Whole of Boston under lock down. Nobody can leave home. People don't even feel safe in their OWN HOME. (Picture where a guy in a light tank was pointing his rifle at the cameraman).

>7/7/05 bombings: 51~ dead. Shit ton of CCTV installed, police powers DRASTICALLY improved, less transparency in govt, more fear and tax payer money wasted on keeping the fear, internet monitoring and soon all communications.

>9/11: Almost 3k dead. Patriot Act. (Plus more obviously but that was the main one).

Feel free to continue

Security is more important than privacy ...

because Muslims but also other religious individuals get upset over stupid shit and cause property damage in locations where there are large crowds to cause a self-fulfilling prophecy that a police state will indirectly cause the rapturous death to a "paradise" that they were asking for because they believed in the police state that they indirectly caused. They are so obsessed with division and segregation that it causes the "forces that be" to unite even tighter. Maybe if you weren't such a edgy anarchist, people would be better able to laugh at your jokes. Instead, you just try to get more extreme, causing what was originally funny to be awkward and wrong. Please stop killing yourself and strangers. It wasn't funny then and it's not funny now.
