Vote Now: Who Should Be Time's Person of the Year? Edward Snowden

Probably because of /b/'s vote manipulation in previous years. Another reason we "can't have nice things" on the internet -- systems that rely on implicit codes of civility still seem to break down when people can remain anonymous.

No way, I don't vote for traitors. All his US supporters are a bunch of Benedict Arnolds.

BTW, just voted for Miley. She definitely made my year.

Government: Snowden is a terrorist.

People: Snowden is a hero.

What a great way to bring this difference of opinion to the fore.

I can completely understand your position if you are an American. And I'm sure you can understand us foreigners trying to show our appreciation for a man who uncovered this extensive evil intrusion into our lives.

Putin and Miley Cyrus is currently close to the top. Together with Snowden, they create a holy trinity of heroes.
