Newsmax reports that according to according to KRC Research about 64 percent of Americans familiar with Snowden hold a negative opinion of him. However 56 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 have a positive opinion of Snowden which contrasts sharply with older age cohorts. Among those aged 35-44, some 34 percent have positive attitudes toward him. For the 45-54 age cohort, the figure is 28 percent, and it drops to 26 percent among Americans over age 55, U.S. News reported. Americans overall say by plurality that Snowden has done “more to hurt” U.S. national security (43 percent) than help it (20 percent). A similar breakdown was seen with views on whether Snowden helped or hurt efforts to combat terrorism, though the numbers flip on whether his actions will lead to greater privacy protections. “The broad support for Edward Snowden among Millennials around the world should be a message to democratic countries that change is coming,” says Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union. “They are a generation of digital natives who don’t want government agencies tracking them online or collecting data about their phone calls.” Opinions of millennials are particularly significant in light of January 2015 findings by the U.S. Census Bureau that they are projected to surpass the baby-boom generation as the United States’ largest living generation this year.

Those who won't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

The critical point is one thing has happened and the other might happen. Between the two, one has been proven and the other is angry speculation.

Actually, the response of "You're just as bad, or will be!" is not a logical argument to begin with. The one you replied to merely pointed that out. Someone's arguments stand on their own merits.

Yeah, I put the men's size 12 shoe on my cock. And the shoe was too small. Now my cock hurts, and you're damn right I'm going to bitch and moan about it!
