The US spends billions of dollars on collecting intelligence. They are also looking onto our allies and even some of our non allies. A German Chancellor said to be listening onto him phone calls. Europe talked about doing the same thing to the people they said everybody does, the US just does it a lot more.
This would make many people mad how do you feel about the government

This could have been written up a bit better. Proofread before publishing.
Yes those are good points, we shouldn't risk friendship with countries that we are friends with now they could come back and start a war with us or become hostile
I have no problem with them spying on non-allies, for they could be potential threats. But our allies and our own people? That's crossing a line. It may help stop terrorist attacks one in a hundred times, but they are losing their people's trust, and fast.
I'm okay with them spying on other countries but only if its necessary... If a country doesn't pose a significant threat than we should stay out of their business...
I think it's necessary to spy on some people. But a big power of our ally should not have been bugged. I'm pretty sure if someone bugged our president something would happen to that person. I think it's good, however, that we're spying on our enemies. We need to try and figure our what their next plan is before it happens so we can stop it. I'm actually glad we have people like the CIA and NSA that are good at spying, and are good at stopping people from spying.
Yes the US should mind their own countries business and not get aggravate other countries.
I think that they should just stay out of other peoples business obviously the other countries aren't really harming us right now. Or the government should just listen less, because if they make the other countries mad we could go to war.
I think that it's an invasion of privacy, but if it can prevent terrorism then people can just deal with it. According to what I have seen on the news the NSA only looks for key words, instead of looking over each individual message. So all the dirty little things people do on the internet won't surface, because I think that is why everybody is making a fuss about it.
