- i would suggest the poster takes an inventory of everything they consume and enjoy, and cut out everything from their life that isnt ethically sourced and has no links to exploitation, tax avoidance and arms dealing.
You will be hungry, thirsty, naked and walking a lot i assure you.

It's getting pretty old. I used to respond to his Apple causes Mass Suicides claims, but I've just surrendered.05-16-12 08:50 AMLike 0
- Honestly, besides creating malcontent, what purpose do these type threads have. I'm frankly surprised the Moderators allow this. If we were to go into the BB forums and post anything remotely close to this, how long would it take to close the thread?
I would like a MOD to chime in.05-16-12 11:28 AMLike 0 - kbz1960Doesn't MatterTons of threads like this still going. For the comment on dumb US companies I have to say there is nothing wrong with supporting companies where you live, what is wrong is doing so thinking it keeps jobs at home for people when really it does not when most of the jobs are outside of the country.
No RIM supporters should be calling other companies dumb when RIM has been one of the worst. If the sentiment is to support your own countries dumb companies then I guess I need to look at not supporting RIM and go elsewhere.05-16-12 11:42 AMLike 2 - They contribute to society by releasing products that I enjoy. Who are you to say what a company should do with their cash? New flash every company/person tries to find loop holes in the tax system. It's not illegal, besides the us govt is greedy when it comes to corporate taxation.

05-16-12 04:42 PMLike 0 - I like Apple & some here would probably consider me a rabid fan (although if you search you'll see I've been pretty harsh on Apple at times). I'm also smart enough to know that if Apple were to gain monopoly power they would be 10 times worse than microsoft ever was, especially if Jobs we're still at the Helm. A powerful Apple is a very scary thing for everyone involved. I also realize that they have to protect their IP & while it looks ugly from the outside the courts don't make their decisions lightly & they're privvy to information that we'll probably never see. I don't have to like the decisions but the law is the law.

Yeah, the iFans comments are out of hand also. Its crazy but its only a minority that are that bad. The same ones that got all peed off when instagram went over to android. Oh well, I hope I'm never that bad.

I can't believe the change in environment here over the last year. It's like all objectivity went out a window - time was when we could discuss and compare all platforms with strengths and weaknesses.

I don't agree with the patent wars. It's part of why I am put off Samsung, because their crap against Apple is pretty blatant and bad. Right down to decorating their stores with Apple app images and destroying documents that prove they've broken the law. It is getting more and more petty on all sides and I want it ALL to stop.05-18-12 01:29 AMLike 0 - True that. The OP thrives on posting fight threads in the Apple subforums. Not the first time, won't be the last.
