Protesting is so good for the soul.....

If you are perchance referring to the 85006, I have no idea what you are talking about. Care to clarify? Rob

Really, a smartphone that is fully charged can be such an effective tool against what America has become that I'm of the opinion it should be mandatory that all adults have one on them at all times for self protection. Rob

Mandatory? As in, with force of law? As in, if you refuse to have one, armed agents of the state will eventually show up to drag you off, and will kill you if you resist sufficiently, as they inexorably move through their response force continuum? Nice! I love to see what sorts of things people are willing to kill others for... Or rather, the sorts of things they are willing to have their hired help kill for...

??? Bae, with all due respect, ???, how did you go from a mandatory smartphone to armed agents of the state, from zero to sixty in less than five seconds? Just trying to understand. Rob

Do you understand what happens when "mandatory" gets enforced against a non compliant person?

Do you understand your moral skin-in-the-game when you ask that something be made "mandatory" in our laws?

Unless I missed it I don't think rob ever said that the gov't should pay for people's smart phones. Only that everyone should have one so that they can film wrongs.

And also, unless I missed it, Trump was the one promising to create trumpcare that was going to provide better coverage for way less money. Perhaps no one points this out because everyone knew that he was lying through his teeth when he made that promise so they didn't take it seriously.

And thanks, flowerseverywhere, for being the only person on this board honest enough to admit that trump's anti-immigrant stance was based on his supporters disliking of the skin color of the majority of our current immigrant population.

Start with page 9, post #82, through post #99 on page 10. He is using language without a clue what it means. Mandatory means force of law, and there have been cases over it, because if it is mandated, then it also has to be paid for. My income would classify me as working class. (above poverty, below middle) Rob, incorrectly lists his social class in the same as economic class, as my "social class" would be in a vastly different category, then my income.
I am still waiting for him to come up with the money, to pay for myself having a smart phone. I still use a candy bar style phone, with no texting (blocked, even), that costs me around $60 to $100 a year on a heavy year. A smart phone is a luxury, to me, not a necessity.
