Camping Out for the iPhone 4: The Line Starts Here

[trellus]

Think he'll stab anyone if he doesn't get his phone?

No. He's not a violent person.

 

[Geckotek]

Lol, you all gave in!

Yeah, I gotta get out of here. This won't end well.

 

[tomitom]

live blog would be great

how many people would like to see a live blog at the last hours count ?

since this is getting so much cover i think someone need to huck up a webcam for live feed from ground zero ( the camp )

 

[iPhoneVic]

Dont

Yeah, I gotta get out of here. This won't end well.

Leave, I think if this guy can survive the week in a tent we can survive 10000 posts...LOL

 

[AbSoluTc]

Actually, that's not a fact. A poster who registered the account jwagonner is now stating he owns his own business. However, how is business ownership not working ? He's too disabled to work, yet he works at his own business... Contradictory... If that is indeed him and that he indeed owns a business, then why claim he's too disabled to work in the first place if it's not true ?

Of course, there's the whole question about anyone being able to register accounts with any name they want as long as it's available and the credibility of said account named jwagonner...



Wait until you actually own a home instead of renting a room.

You do realize what you look like right? Post after post. If you're going to condemn the man, at least get his name right.

You're making a lot of assumptions. There are plenty of ways he is supported that allows him to take this time away. Perhaps family, maybe he has an eBay business.

If he has a business, he is working. He can't be too disabled to work yet own a business. Contradictory claims.

You assume I care enough to actually look it up before typing it. It's sunny and 30 degrees outside (C for you yanks, not F) and I'm just trying to get the work day done and behind me so I can go home take care of my pool.

 

[iPhoneVic]

are you

Throwing a bees nest in his tent..?

 

[CFreymarc]

Indeed.

However, calling someone a "fool" is a very weighty matter, at least to that bearded dude in sandals...

"whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell." Matthew 5:22.

Ok now we are getting into religion -- epic thread!!!

When I see the Book of Judas and the Book of Mary Magdalene given as much credence, my opinion may change.

You care enough to be here

Seriously, who wants to go to heaven anyway, all the fun people end up in hell. Only the uptight boring people get into heaven. I know who I want to spend eternity with.

You care enough to be here

Or I'm here because reading/posting here is more fun than counting the holes in the ceiling at my job. (Wow, never noticed how dense the hole count was around here, I may have to take that hobby up).

 

[kernkraft]

Wow, bunch of trolls on here that like to make themselves look better by putting down a complete stranger they've never met.

How compassionate! You mind skepticism about the guy, but you don't mind calling people whom you've never met names.

Sometimes, you need logic not just compassion.

 

[Geckotek]

If he has a business, he is working. He can't be too disabled to work yet own a business. Contradictory claims.

You failed to quote me entirely. Why does it matter? And he never said he was too disabled to work. Those words never left his mouth.

Because your responses on this forum have proven your character to be poor.

 

[Loves2spoon]

It's clear that all of your who are insulting Justin are jealous.

If you had the time and balls you would be out at your Apple store too. How many of you would be willing to talk to the news, have your face on tv. Thought so.

He's outside in 100 degree heat having a great time waiting for something he really wants! What the hell is wrong with that? I wouldn't camp out 8 days early but if I had the time I'd camp out 1-2 days ahead so I could be the 1st too! Some of us have busier lives than others. Give the guy a break! He's giving Apple great publicity and just think of the foot traffic the store is going to get just so people can come see the guy waiting in line!!

 

[iPhoneVic]

Tent guy

will be up 6 days straight responding to this forum...we will keep you company buddy. Day six he'll miss
his reservation because he over slept by a day....on the 25th they will not hold your reservation...

 

[KnightWRX]

It's clear that all of your who are insulting Justin are jealous.

And those of us who are simply questioning his disability and ability to perform the camp out are what ?

Though I will admit I am jealous that his "vacation" started early, mine don't start until the 24th.

 

[CraigGB]

Lol, you all gave in!

,well I was kinda expecting a mod to come in eventually, considering one of the forums rules is don't insult, and some of the posts here are just that, they don't seem to have arrived yet though.

most of the stuff here seems to be more about his personal life then the fact he is camping for a week, seems pretty off topic to me

 

[Geckotek]

And those of us who are simply questioning his disability and ability to perform the camp out are what ?

Worried about something that is not really any of your business.

Hopefully it's a short walk and a steep drop

 

[KnightWRX]

If it was none of our business, why bring it up in the first place then ? Public statement is public business, news at 11.

You seem to have a fetish for wishing people's death. Maybe you should talk to a professional about that.

How can it be off topic when what is discussed is mentionned in the news article we are discussing ? Seems pretty on topic to me (and before anyone chimes in, discussions about topicality are always on-topic).

 

[kernkraft]

What is poor is your logic and style. I stand my ground and I challenge you to come up with anything that might compromise my character.

 

[potaco]

Eh?

Normally I only camp out over night, but since I do not work due to the fact I am disabled with a seizure disorder and I am not in school at the point, I figure I just make it a fun experience and do it for a week.

 

[Geckotek]

Public statement doesn't mean you need to rip it apart and take it further. There's no need to sit here and pick it apart. It is what it is, or it isn't. Doesn't matter. Fact is, the guy is living his life, currently on the corner outside of an Apple store. None of this affects your life and there's no reason (except being a malicious jerk) to worry about the details of his life.

What is poor is your logic and style. I stand my ground and I challenge you to come up with anything that might compromise my character.

Your posts speak for themselves.

Eh?

I stand corrected. That's how how he worded it to me when I spoke with him in person.


It's simple. You guys that are picking him apart really need to find something better to do. If you have so much hatred in your life that you need to channel it out to others on the internet, I really feel sorry for you. I hope you find some you find happiness someday.

So you're saying we shouldn't be having this thread at all ? Maybe you're also saying it shouldn't be in the news at all ?

Too bad it is, and now we're discussing it. He decided to make the public statement, now he gets to live with people commenting on it and giving their opinion. We don't really need to rip it apart, but maybe we don't have anything better to do while waiting for the day to end so we can leave wherever it is we are...

If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to even read us, in fact, there's no need to sit here and read what we type to paraphrase you...

So is he paying tax or not? I suppose, I'm not the only one to question this. If he's got a business and he's not working, he might have a magical and revolutionary tax status.

I'm sure that the authorities are keen to know too. With stardom comes public scrutiny.
