    no offense intended but

    lately, the articles about lack of privacy being the downfall of murderers and dictators… it’s killing my enthusiasm for privacy

    i won’t give up on privacy… its just starting to feel gross… learning lessons from ppl who ought to suffer.

      I’m not going to give up my privacy to make it easier for the cops to do their jobs. Police work is hard, but they already have more than enough power in the name of ‘public safety’, they don’t need even more.

      I get what you’re saying and agree in some ways. But, I shared an apartment with a friend, we argued about ‘I have nothing to hide’ . he went away for a few days and I removed the (shared) bathroom door.

      When he got back

      > hey, where’s the door?

      > I thought you had nothing to hide?

      > I just want a little privacy…
