I agree with this statement because most people would rather have a few small rights violated than be killed. People probably won't want others looking through all their information but at least they willl be safe. As long as the government doesn't take it too far then it will be alright. If a terrorist attack did in fact occur then people would blame the government saying they didn't look through all the information. The government is always getting blamed for various things but about the Patriot Act they are doing the right thing.
I agree with your statement because it's important to look at both sides. I also agree with people always blaming the government for one thing or another. I think the government did go to far, but the Patriot Act was designed to protect citizens.
Great argument! I feel it could have the potential to help, but the government is using it for the wrong things and it hasn't really helped yet.
when i had read "I agree with this statement because most people would rather have a few small rights violated than be killed." i could not agree anymore. The people deserve to live, even if it does mean a few of their rights being violated. this is a great example of how the patriot act is a positive thing for the American people.
I agree 85% wiff you dog. I know you tryna rep everyone but the governement gots to do what the peops need in the end. Ya feel me?
Agreed! I love that you touched base on both sides of the argument because both are very good points. The goverment is ment to protect us so they should be able to do what ever is needed to save lives.
its true, if we didnt have this act (becuase they didnt like it) people would go crazy and blame the government for not protecting us but they didnt want so have some rights violated.... thats crazy!! its either have rights violated or death..
thats a good point that people are always blamming the government for the mistakes that happen. i didnt think of that. its so true, i mean people today still blame george bush for our economy. the bottom line is that the goverment is out to help and protect us.
I don't think the government looking through our information is really a problem because its not like they will use it against us. I agree with your point of view Zachary.
I agree because I would rather give up a few rights than be attacked by terrorists or have other people die because people didnt want to give up certain rights and then blame the governement
