Answer 1

We now have a Judge who states this is illegal . The first step to impeachment . I am sure we are monitored . Just be careful what you say .

Answer 2

Think about a few things before you get so paranoid. The traffic on the internet is way beyond any gruop of people checking it. Billions of documents every day. Why would they be interested in you. They might be interested in me because I am quite outspoken on this machine. No, don't worry about it. There are computers that look for certain word phrases and then sends them to other computers to analize and if there is anything beyoun that it may be sent to a person to look at. If you are writing about doing certain things then your name will come up in someones computer. Now to the so called wire taping thing that people seem to be up in arms about. any one can listen to most phone calls with a few dollars worth of scanners. Not a lot of money either. Again of all the millions of calls who can listen to even a small portion of them. What they were doing was keeping track of the numbers being called in other lands and the numbers that were calling them. They did not just ramdomly listen to people talking. All internet servers in the USA has to keep all transactions for a certain period of time and it can be used by the law. Down load child porn and see what happens to you. This kind of thing does not scare me in the least. I am glad they can do this and are doing it. A case that has been in the news lately about the man who killed a six year old girl got its big clue from the computer. They found him by following his computer tracks. Unless you are deliberately doing something against humanity then you have nothing to wory about. Yahoo has to keep all these this answer stuff for a period of time. even the things that were leleted later are still there but you just can not see them. As the song says, don't worry be happy.

I just looked out my window and there is a suspicious van with dark tinted windows sitting across the street. It's been sitting there for days and at night I can see glimmer of lights coming from the inside. It says Verozen on the side.I think George W. may be watching my house or maybe he's just getting some training in the Verizon van so that he can get a job that he's suited for after he leaves office. I'm pretty sure that it's George W. himself since he spelled Verizon wrong on the side of the van.

Answer 4

Bush is not tapping your phone. How caught up in ones own self importance can one be? This is a public site, just as times square or your local mall. If you want a secure site you need to pay for the equipment to provide you with a secure site. I think the government would be remiss if they weren't looking at this site.

Answer 5

I suspect so but not by the Bush tapping business.. That business of tapping is a MUST in the U.S. and in fact, if I had charge of it, I would multiply it by 3. In order to survive, the U.S. MUST increase its intelligence capabilities.. if it does not, the U.S. will be in seriouis trouble. I do fear, though, that the U.S. individuals doing the surveillance are not capable and are people off the street who have no education to speak of.. that is what makes it dangerous;.

Answer 6

If your phone is being tapped without your knowledge in violation of the American constitution who's to say your surfing activities is not being monitored. Let me tell you if you dont already know ,yahoo, aol and all the big internet providers already regularly hands data to government on demand.
"They know a lot about you heyrobo"

Answer 7

With some of the nutty things said here, not to mention the Sanskrit that has appeared on occasion, I would hope so, but I doubt they have the time or inclination to worry about things like this.

On the other hand, being a good citizen, as I am, I will report you. ;-)

Answer 8

There is something weird going on. Two people answered the same question I answered, all at the same time with the exact same one word answer. It was as if they could read my mind. Do computers connect our minds together? Does the monitor energy well forth, envelop our brains, and transmit back to other computer users? I keep wondering what other computer users are connecting with me. Are they cute? Do they do the same things I do? Would we connect well together?

Answer 9

NO!!! They would not be allowed to let anyone know unless it is a threat against the US A or Government or a threat against the President of the USA!!!

Answer 10

Ya, we are probably being watched. You can tell who is watching us, because they will be the ones that answer your question with the following comment: "No, we... I mean they don't do that... it is a lie and some low life is trying to get attention by making this up."
