It's people like you and Daisey that are liars. You give people that are honestly interested in labour rights a bad name. Him only interested in selling tickets to a show, and you only interested in being an Android fanboy.
You had the opportunity to properly disassociate yourself from Daisey and admit he was a liar. But you didn't. You tried to pretend that he wasn't a liar. You're no better than him.
You're going to be disappointed I'm afraid. A new iPad comes out once a year. That analysis covers the quarter before the new iPad. Since that was written, the new retina iPad has had huge sales.
Yes, it is. Let's call it a learned behavior if you insist on using your personal definition of "think".
Let's not. Let's just accept it is a different cultural norm. People who come from countries with lots of street level corruption to a country where there isn't usually learn the new behaviour, and stop offering of expecting bribes. Likewise, people who go on expeditions that pass through corrupt countries tend to learn after a few hours waiting at a border crossing that the local cultural norm is to offer bribes and do it. And indeed your anecdote is exactly that.
It's not about thinking different, nor is it some kind of learned behaviour that makes the people fundamentally different. People are the same, they're just in different cultural environments.
I wasn't asking a bunch of nerds for ideas, I was opposing the racist notion that "people in the 3rd world do NOT think or act like YOU."
People with autism form a percentage of the population of every country, so that still isn't a differentiator. That's why I chose to phrase a definition of autism that way. Because it's a trait you exhibited - whether or not you have autism.
They think differently, no matter how much BS the Greens and Liberals tell you - people in the 3rd world do NOT think or act like YOU.
All homo-sapiens brains work in the same way. So yes they do think the same way. They have experiences, different cultural references and so on that means in the same situation they might make different decisions. But then in whatever your country is, on any question, people will have a range of often diametrically opposing views.
As to corruption, it's not a result of different thinking. There is corruption in every country where people are allowed to get away with it. Government officials everywhere are bribed. Just this week we've seen David Cameron the prime minister of the UK secretly making himself available for private consultations over lunch with anyone who can come up with £250,000.
I'm not sure exactly what it is that you claiming the "greens and liberals" are saying that is wrong. But clearly your racist thoughts are very wrong.
Hey, you're a white guy who doesn't notice it and doesn't care about it because it doesn't affect you. You'll probably go on having that smug opinion till the day you die. Thankfully we get a generational change in opinion as the population turns over.
Your argument doesn't work. A person stuck down a well might need water send down to him, because it's dry or stagnant. (Or he needs lifting out of the well.)
A passer-by might not see the need for that. "Heck, it's a well, he has water." But there is still the need regardless of his opinion. The needs don't disappear just because you aren't aware of the reason for the needs. Those connected to the situation know best what's needed.

You have no morals and no ethics.
because a labor activist may have been wrong about armed guards
He wasn't wrong. He lied. Just as you do. He has no integrity. Just as you don't.
People like me and Ira Glass, the honest people of the world, in equal parts despise and pity scum like you and Mike Daisey.
A bit of extra overtime doesn't quite match Mike Daisey and your lies does it.
Starting at point 1. You're saying that the Foxconn guards do have guns, despite the fact that they don't.
You're as big a liar as Mike Daisey.
You're a Mike Daisey the liar fanboy. Still clinging on to his every word even after he admitted making it up. How sad is that?
Perhaps you don't know what a liar is. Look in the mirror. Mike Daisey will be staring back at you.
Rather like the liar Mike Daisey.
The only other thing in your post was the title and the link. As I showed, 3 weeks later it's clear that the article title got it wrong.
BTW, you look like even more of an idiot when you can't spell "fanboy".
And just 3 weeks later, the price is $609.86.
That's 12% higher.
You make my point for me.

Autism, the inability to distinguish what's relevant and what isn't in a given context.

Just to be clear, your solution is: let them die of starvation?
Ready to eat humble pie and apologise yet?

I don't accept or reject things based on simple hatred.
Compare and contrast with your first reply to me:
"Damn, how I hate ignorant fanboys."
Hypocrite.
You seem to be tying yourself in knots.
I think you've made your political position more than clear now.
If you butter both sides of the cat, you can probably get them to go through narrower slits. Hope that helps.
A car passes through all gates of a toll booth at the same time.
I have a feeling if you herd cats uphill they might exhibit particle-wave duality.
Sure, but the OP has a point. Clearly the quantum force is strong in cats.
