p.s No offense to Steve Jobs

No offense to Steve Jobs? He changed the world more than Jack Layton ever could. |

Just stop. Seriously. Both of them were great people who did great things. Steve died. That's what this thread is about. |

He may have changed the world more but you really have to look at how important electronics are versus the quality of life for a country. I just don't think its fair to compare the impact of a CEO to a politician because a company's goal is profits while a politicians is to better society. To me one is trivial and one is vital so that's why I take exception to the comparison. |

Why don't you just leave this thread? I don't see why someone would come to a thread in tribute to Steve Jobs and say that his work is trivial.
PS: If you really think that technology doesn't have an impact on quality of life, maybe you should leave your room more as well. |

In your last sentence, you're assuming too many things though I do agree with the first bit of what you said. |

I didn't come to this thread to take anything away from Steve Jobs I'm just standing up for Jack Layton.
I didn't say it doesn't have an impact on quality of life I'm saying Apple provides luxuries which I don't think are as important as necessities that politicians campaign for.
And thanks for the personal attack that really supports your case. |

Both Jack Layton and Steve Jobs had incredible contributions in their own fields, there's no way you can compare the two!
On the other hand.. Death happens to everyone, it shouldn't come as a shock. There's thousands who die everyday that we never find out about.. One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.

It depends on who was the "one death" which would make it a "tragedy".

When Jack Layton passed away, there was a thread dedicated to him. This thread is for Steve Jobs. Get with the program pl0x.  |

That's not the point... The point is that ANY death is a tragedy regardless of who the person was, what their job was, what they contributed.. etc.

A tragedy for one person doesn't necessarily have to be a tragedy for another. It may be saddening, but tragedy and that are two different things. |
