Exactly. That quote actuallly made me angry. If i brandished a knife and demanded your wallet, most people would call me a "mugger". This boob would use the excuse, "I didn't MAKE you hand over your wallet, it was your decision". Its not even a rational defense.

Its nice to see that someone defending his company's indefensible action is now "the new fact of Apple".
This is just disgusting on so many levels.

But, but, you're not thinking of the CHILDREN!
And the terrorists! what if we had good information that someone placed a nuclear bomb in downtown Toronto! Would you REALLY want us to waste time with a silly little thing like a warrant when Armageddon is upon us?

I find your lack of faith disturbing, Comrade.

Not tyrannical, not at all. We have a society, a community, and a nation. There is an amount of shared responsibility for the good of the society, community, and nation.

Sorry but when its done with FORCE its no longer "shared", its "coerced". Kinda like me deciding to "share" the contents of my wallet with a guy pointing a gun to my head. Context is everything.

1st, not everyone can afford health care.
Not everyone can afford healthy food either. What is your stand on our "shared responsiblity" to make sure everyone eats well?

Your second point is an economic argument, not a moral one. If economics=morality, then you'd be hailing Exxon-Mobil as the Second Coming. If you can't defend your argument on moral grounds, then please just say so (and you cannot in any case).

3rd, shared responsibility is the glue that makes society work. We no longer have the wild wild west.

No, the right to live unmolested from snot-nosed, ignorant asshats like you is the glue that makes society work. If you were even remotely correct, then Communism would be Nirvana. Clearly, you're wrong on yet another point.

4th, your neighbor's sickness or ill health cost you money. What are you going to do, let them die?

Clearly not, unless my neighbor shows up at my door waving a gun, demanding money. you know, exactly like you're doing here. Then he can go die in a fire for all i care.

Wow you're batting exactly ZERO so far.

Thank you for your time
