  1. Difference being: Apple makes money by selling you stuff

    Google makes money by selling your information, this requires spying and Google has been caught numerous times doing the wrong thing.

    Amazon makes money by finding out what you want so they can be the middle man, this requires spying. Amazons goal is to be the ONLY store at the expense of everyone else.

    I have ZERO intention into buying any of these, however I do trust Apple a little more to not sell my information than I do the others. If Facebook gets into the act, they will offer the WORST of all possible worlds.

    You deserve mod points. Of the four evils you mentioned, Apple is the least evil

    They're not hampered by western "morality" (which is really religion). Risking the lives of a few tens for a cure that saves millions sounds perfectly rational to me.

    Yes, this is the same country that harvests organs from a spiritual movement disliked by the government, but a country that gave smallpox blankets to Indians or infected people with syphilis doesn't deserve to throw the first stone.

    Those responsible for that syphilis and smallpox blanket example probably thought they were sacrificing thousands to save millions

    That's one of the worst things about him. The illegal vote claim, Obama's birthplace, crowd sizes, belittling judges and derogatory names for others. The effing POTUS is above this immature behavior.

    Trump got right to it even on the day after the election. He's still pushing his mythical three million illegal voters fabrication.

    Sorry but the 3 million fake votes isn't a fabrication. Liberal cities like Detroit had more voters than there are residents, and recounts kept losing votes for democrats so they stopped doing recounts. Seeing how California has just gotten worse about supporting illegals since the election I'm thinking the real number is a lot higher than 3 million and hope they enact nationwide voter ID laws before the next election.

    Of course, why shouldn't he? Virtually every aspect of America has improved since he was elected. Stocks are up, unemployment is down, welfare is down, and fewer illegal immigrants sneaking in. If Russia did this we should be thanking them for the help and if Obama planned all this to happen after he left we should have voted him out 4 years sooner.

    A complete load of horseshit. Obama was a tool and a traitor and not even close to "smart". He was the perfect choice for the first affirmative action president, chosen strictly by race, not ability.

    This. Obama was elected for only two reasons, skin color and because he was a smooth talker. The entire world suffered because he was elected
