First the Ford Focus, then the Chevy Cruze and now the Toyota Corolla - with Trump’s sudden obsession with compact cars, you’d think he was looking to buy one.

I don’t know - at the end of the day, you shouldn’t hold a company accountable because someone misused their product.

This would be no different than a family who lost someone from a drunk driver suing an alcohol producing company because they did not install a shot counter on their bottle...

There could’ve been any number of logistical/technical details that stopped Apple from releasing said software. It very well may have made using the phone more difficult that it was distracting by itself. Who knows, but there was definitely a good reason for not releasing it, as it’s a marketing dream in this current…

This isn’t at all about a libertarian ideal. It’s about the fact that the man could’ve been doing any number of other things while driving that were not snapchat that could’ve distracted him just as much and caused the same result.

This lawsuit has nothing to do with accountability and everything to do with money. The Asshat who was driving and facetiming probably doesn’t have much in the way of money but Apple has deep pockets so the plaintiffs lawyers are going after them. /statingtheobvious

They still have no grounds for a case. A tragedy occurred, and the man is being charged accordingly. There are so many things that this guy could’ve been distracted by that could’ve ended up with the same result. This is a bullshit case and should be thrown out.

It’s nearing imbecile levels worse...

My missile is 2700lbs, so I’m exempt!

It’s actually worse.

Exactly! Million stars for you!

It’s tragic that a family lost a child. But the fault clearly lies with the person that was driving and using FaceTime simultaneously. He/She deserves punishment for what they did, and what they’ve made this family go through.

NO!

Thing is, if he was trolling (which imo is the most obvious explanation) then he doesn’t get to complain when people flip out. Either he’s not sure how trolling works or he underestimated the response he’d get.

Agreed. I certainly don’t think it should be taken seriously, but I do think he said it to provoke outrage which is an obnoxious thing to do.

A hobbit genocide could never exist because hobbits aren’t real. A white genocide could exist, and therefore a person could conceivably advocate for it. Which is what the tweet appears to do, if one is not a student of neo-nazi conspiracy theories. The professor says he wants white genocide, not that there is one…

I’m not sure why you’re having trouble understanding what I just explained to you, at length. No part of it contradicts yourself. And you seem to have difficultly differentiating between “White Genocide”, and “the murder of white people”. The first is the name of a fictitious conspiracy peddled by white supremacists…

Doesn’t matter because he didn’t come even close to communicating that successfully in his tweet. Whatever he might have meant, all he succeeding in doing was expressing a desire for a genocide of white people. But please, keep going with the chemtrail false equivalence, it was working so well.

Everything he says is true. But it’s still not an ok thing to say you wish for “white genocide.” He trolled, and he got exactly the reaction he wanted.
