There is a long course history of this. There is no "right" to healthcare per many Supreme Court rulings. You are responsible for the health of your body and not anyone else. Most of all, via free speech, you have the right to determine what is healthy and not the Fed.

That means accepting or rejecting many different schools or healthcare. Many in this country prefer alternative methods other than MD's such a Chiropractic and Herbalists. Also, many reject Psychology / Psychiatry and the DSM as a whole. Instead, they look at religious forms of counseling. The way that the fed has screwed up Medicare and the VA, I don't want any of that crap compulsory nor paid with my tax dollars.
Some kids go to private school, some people install good fire suppression, some people hire armed guards, some people have a nice backyard that is better than a park. Keep doing your thing... Unless you make more that 250K a year you've got very little to worry about. Pretty sure education and healthcare for all will benefit everyone indirectly.

I fully and strongly support Apple's statement about this issue.
Bravo Apple,please do not give up on people's privacy and security no matter what.
an isolated case shouldn't be an excuse to breach peoples pricacy and security indefinitely.
people should not be monitored and shouldn't feel like living in a police state or a " big brother" like society were privacy is breached constantly like many middle eastern countries and the UK.

Yeah, most Americans are cowardly sheep. WTF are you talking about? "Americans" are objecting to their own government asserting itself into their privacy.

Some are, but there's a ton of people who agree with Trump on this which is who I am referring to.
 
Donald Trump is a bigoted moron who should never see the inside of the White House. Also I don't care cause I'm from the UK, but it worries me that anyone in America sees this guy as a worthy leader. I truly hope God helps you all.
 
lol, I've attracted a trump hive... yes, trump gets we need racism at the core of our country. Please don't reply to me, I can only take so much stupid in one day.

I'm failing to see how what I said equated to "Trump gets we need racism at the core of our country". Maybe I'm just too stupid.

Saying ridiculous things and acting like you're leaving the room to go hang out with a better class of people is not a real debate tactic.

FWIW, if you didn't read what I posted earlier, I am not a Trump supporter.

That is truly the thing I don't get.... history clearly shows what happens when the rich keep suppressing the majority. Add in social media these days and the widespread ability to organize, and given enough time, revolt. You think it would be in their best interest to help out society in general.

Honestly, I'd rather have a group of self-determined, freedom loving individuals run society over a bunch of over-educated totalitarians that look down on the population like unwashed masses that think they know better because of a few books read and tests taken.
I agree with all you say however, sheep are none of the above. Definitely not set-determined or freedom loving. Quite the opposite, they like to be controlled, Shepard, dictated too. Just saying.

I don't really want to get sucked into this that's all, I don't care what you do.
 
Trump: 'UP AGAINST THE WALL!!!'

Trump on his own security and privacy: 'You don't need to know that!'

I guess we can see what a 'Trump presidency' would be like. One where government privacy is sacred, and ours? Well... Nope.

That saying that a government should be afraid of its subjects is true, as this one, and the previous ones, have done quite a lot to hide from us, We The People, and quite a lot to remove our privacy and security...

People for this and unlimited wiretapping, and snitches in the USPS/UPS/Fedex need to read about COINTELPRO. You didn't need to do anything wrong. They would manufacture something, and would be in your underwear drawer, and make comments about what they found.

There was a darn good reason that the CIA was held up short on their working inside the national boarders. Just like the military.

Not if the government controls it.

What do I care about what the rich are interested in, we have an opportunity to vote a candidate who has not been bought. Just that one fact alone is enough to get my vote, Bernie's policies are just icing on the cake. I think there are enough people out there that are smart enough to understand this.
 
I feel there is a motive here with the FBI doing this so publicly, they have access to the CIA and the NSA who could crack the device yet they publicly demand that Apple do it.

Again Trump opens his mouth and removes all doubt about his true nature and attitudes toward freedom and privacy. Those of us who are registered Republicans cannot afford to vote this joker in as the party's candidate. A real conservative would be siding with Apple on this issue.

Remember that time when Americans elected Bush? Or that time they re-elected Bush after he lied about WMDs, invaded Iraq, caused many deaths and as a result created ISIS?

Yeah, not much of a stretch for Americans to elect a guy like Trump.
True. If the general election is Trump vs. Hillary or Bernie, we are ****ed either way.
 
Yea lets elect a socialist. What the hell is wrong with the people in this country?

Yet another person who doesn't know what Socialism is and what Sanders advocates. Fox watcher?

Disclosure: I don't support any of the buffoons running for President but will vote Democratic because we can't have the bigger buffoons packing the SC.

That's the nice thing about about a candidate that has not already been bought by lobbyist. The only problem I see is what happens after Bernie... Now... I get that there is a potential for issues but good policies are not the root of the problem. If Bernie does a good job he will try to change the laws around lobbying...
 
Now it's being reigned back in... that the Government requested access to 1 phone, not all.

I can't imagine one can exist without the other.

Most people in this country aren't very educated. If they were, they'd know the difference between a socialist and a social democrat. And they'd realize the US already has a whole laundry list of social programs.

But that isn't the topic of this thread...
