Amazing how the same people who want their constitutional right to own a weapon upheld, supposedly so they can protect themselves from a tyrannical government, want to give up their right to privacy from the same.
Public recruiting... if there is a price on this, how long do you think it will be before a former Apple Employee capable of hacking something together contacts the FBI offering services in exchange for a mountain of money and amnesty against any suit Apple could bring against them?
Yeah, hope we will have lots and lots of jokes on Americans once Donald Trump gets elected
Fortunately, there are less nuts than sane people as shown by the last two presidential elections. He may get the nomination for the GOP but will never make it into the White House! Thank God!!! This idiot should never have his finger on the trigger to our WMD. I'm puzzled by his party's support when he has yet to actually say anything beyond blurt outs like Uncle Bob watching the news and yelling at the TV. Not a single realistic solution to any of our problems. Maybe this is just a cover to get elected then you find out he was really a democrat all along and will layout a moderate and reasonable agenda to help all people. I doubt it though.
It's not about saving 15 people a year... it's about controlling millions of people, through fear, propaganda and media manipulation. They don't want educated people that can think for themselves, create alliances, challenge the current rhetoric and status quo. They want a dumbed down nation, far easier to herd. The same is happening here in the UK.
those things you mention arent part of the "free" health care system in for example Germany anyway plus its not really free in the first place. i get about 85€ deducted from my salary every month (my company has to pay the other half)
in exchange for this i dont have to worry about a bill when i have to go to the hospital or to see a doctor. dentist only provides the basic things, everything else like professional teeth cleaning has to be paid extra (its about 60€ for one session)
America already HAS socialism.
It helps to win an argument if you know what you are talking about. It's communism that you don't really want 100%, but America has some of that too. BTW: How's capitalism working for you?
And America is not a democracy anymore. That ended a while ago... USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!
It's almost like you are saying that he's stupid... oh right you are because he is.
Wonder if he'll notice.
You have not been presented with such information, but actual security experts who deal with these security and privacy issues for a living have (not that the FBI is attempting to listen to your phone calls and access your bank accounts, but there are major organizations out there who are interested in exactly that). For example, https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/10/iphone_encrypti_1.html. I am not at all an expert in this, but do get paid in part for security analysis of major online systems; my take is right in line with those of Schneier, etc. Apple is completely in the right here. I just wish other companies who are trusted with as much of our personal data would be as adamant and resolute in their protection of our privacy.
And, no, the fact that other systems have back doors does not mean that we should make back doors a designed-in feature.
Wow, you've really bought into that crap? First, he's hardly self financing; see the most prominent space on his website's nav bar. Here's a hint, it says DONATE. The money he has put in his campaign has been loans. He's enriching his friends with sales of his hats and other merchandise. But wait, there's more...
He has as many ties to Wall Street as any other candidate, probably more. You may recall Trump calling Cruz out for his loans from Goldman Sachs and Citibank. Trump went on to tell us that they now own Cruz. WOuld it surprise you to know Trump has tens, maybe hundreds of millions in outstanding loans from Wall Street. Don't take my word for it, let's look at his most recent financial disclosure.
Tell us again how Trump can't be bought.
With encryption. There is no such thing as "less strong encryption." Either something is secure or it isn't.

Donations from individuals is a hell of a lot different than donations from Corporations and Lobbyists.
If you disagree with Trump on this issue, then you really shouldn't be a Trump supporter because you really aren't going to like what you end up with if you get him.
Only a fool underestimates Donald Trump. Donald is masterful at saying very little. Even when he does say things, if it gets challenged, a week later he will say something new that puts a spin on what he said so it seems very different or even the opposite. And people have no idea. He is masterful.
Right now Trump is focused on winning the Republican nomination. When he gets that I expect he will significantly shift statements to win the Presidency. If he makes those shifts in statements he will still have Republican support, then he'll get people saying, actually he's not that bad, and you know what, that thing he just said now is pretty good.
People have short memories when they hear what they want to hear. Trump is a salesman. He's selling each group on himself.
Underestimate this guy at your peril. There is a better than good chance that Trump is the next President and people haven't got that yet.
No, you did not do that directly.
I merely pointed out that mentioning that other countries do the same implies deflection and justification.
In other words, it sounds like you were saying (or rather, implying): "It's understandable that the US is racist because all other countries are."
It isn't.
Your post left it open for that kind of interpretation.
That said, I agree with you in this regard: it is indeed a SAD state of things.
That's the point. You're not. Since you'd decided to honestly discuss an issue holding the presumption of Liberty as your premise, you'd also inadvertently accepted that ad hominem attacks would occur.
It's very real. Happens all the time. "No 'enlightened person' could possibly believe that, you selfish capitalist!". Consider yourself branded.
All good man, I get passionate sometimes. I could see how the mistake was made.Well, isn't that embarrassing for me.
