So thinking the occupation of Afghanistan is terrible - that's an invalid opinion? There are anti-war veterans that think the same thing. There are plenty of people who study the issue who have a similar view. I just don't see how "never having been to Afghanistan" somehow disqualifies a person from having a view on…

I like the idea that if you didn't go to Iraq or Afghanistan you can't have a view on foreign policy. Tell me, if you're not a climate scientist, is it OK to have an opinion on environmental policy?

Please don't try to put things into perspective, Apple is not just a company that sells gadgets, it's a lifestyle for millions of people. What you're doing here is inappropriately disrespecting what is, for all intents and purposes, a secular religion.

No kidding. I refuse to believe anyone who has flown on a commercial airline before, ever, in their lives, actually thinks this is a good idea.

Why would liberals want to ban police officers? I mean I don't get what point you're trying to make. I think most liberal people I know would prefer police taze someone rather than shoot them or beat'em with a club. You're reading too much into a sensational story on a Gawker media website.
