1.  Do you believe the police have the same rights to "snoop" in personal cell phone usage as the NSA does?  Or is this a separate entity with different rights? - Neither have the rights to "snoop" at all. They only have the rights to prevent terror attacks.

2. Do we live in a society where privacy is a thing of the past? - Apparently.

Prisoner Debate Notes

Neither side made a very convincing argument. I'm not convinced of anything so my opinion stays with them not having the right to vote.

Prisoner Debate Questions

Pro: How can you say someone who disobeyed the laws that everyone else followed, even if they didn't want to, can get the same rights of voting?
Con: Does not allowing people in prison to vote go against their amendment rights?

1.  Does the NSA have a right to collect your personal data without a search warrant or probable cause? - No they do not have that right.

2.  Why would these tech companies be against providing such said data? - They believe their customers should be guaranteed privacy against the NSA.

1.  Could this case have a similar outcome in the US?- Maybe not. It might be on Dr. Oz or Oprah though, but it definitely isn't a $120,000 case here in the good ol' U.S.

2.  Interpret what this case says about the father.- He's definitely an easily upset Chinese man that doesn't like to be messed with.

1.  Why is Limbaugh's message controversial? - Because the Pope is a very large Christian figure and talking bad about him on public radio may offend a lot of people.

12/2/2013- Bell Ringer

should prisoners be able to vote?- No they forfeited a large amount of rights due to their crimes

should recently released felons be able to vote? I think it depends on their felony, but in most cases yes.
