No, that's dangerous! Everyone should crawl everywhere while wearing an iHelmet if we were to apply apple's modus operandi to transportation.

Hmm, so you think that maybe qualified people should be allowed to use dangerous devices? I'm fine with you taking devices away from your parents. That's up to you and your parent.

Is your argument that your iphone should not be allowed outside where it might scare other people? Odd take. Even in the UK an adult is allowed to buy & posses a kitchen knife.

Odd take. No, and I don't know why you'd think that. In fact, that's such a weird take, I think you wrote that in bad faith. > Even in the UK an adult is allowed to buy & posses a kitchen knife. Buy, yes. Possess in public without "good reason" as defined by the police and prosecution, no.
