  1. You are a far superior human being than all of us b0s0z0ku. Thank you for coming here and sharing that.

    I'm guessing from your post that Apple doesn't sell much in Europe? And that most people have 7+ year old electronics? I mean you did feel the need to call out America so I assume you are stating that is unusual.

    I'm glad they are planting more trees but don't pat them on the back. They have a financial incentive to plant a ton of evergreen trees.

    Well yeah, that's exactly what I said. What part of my second sentence was unclear? ;)

    Most logging companies in the US plan two new trees for each one cut down. The financial incentive is clear.

    I agree with you that is one of the reasons there is a focus on "Climate Change." Another reason is it gives government a reason to take over or regulate industries. It gives us a handy enemy list as well - big oil, big lumber, etc.

    This is the main problem I have with capitalism. ...
    Turns out it's just a monitoring gig, 6 month contract that might get extended twice to 18 before they fire him because 18 months is the most you can keep a contractor before the state gov't starts asking questions about taxes. ....
    We need more worker protections. .

    It sounds like those worker protections that the government enforces are more the problem than capitalism.

    And leaving any job for a new job is a risk. Sorry your brother was lured in by the money (i.e. his own personal capitalism) and left the job that was stable,

    Just curious, should there be protections for employers that invest and treat their employees well to prevent people from quitting just to go to a company that can pay more?

  5. The people on the ground will be who makes things succeed or not. How is this, "Stuff that matters?"

    The you can submit the next story on how your neighbor just got hired for that data entry position an snapchat so we can get those "people on the ground" stories that you want/

  6. If they sue, they get accused of the same "you are trying to bury the truth" cries.

    This way, they get to make their point and save money

    The more you open your business to the public, the more you have to bake that gay cake, like it or not.

    The problem with this is that religion rights is a constitutionally protected issue as well.

    It's hard to compare the two platforms as the same.

    You have Fox on one side and CNN, MSNBC, and the network news on the other side.

    On the social media side, you have twitter and facebook - both companies lean to the left.

    LOL - And the democrats who are actually encouraging civil unrest and violence even after a republican was shot at a baseball game? I don't recall any apologies there.

    And honestly, earlier this month "Suspected Ricin sent to Pentagon, suspicious letters to Trump, Ted Cruz office"

    How did the media respond to this? Well the New York times publishes a fictional article about the secret service and Russians assassinating Trump

    What's sad is it's not possible for you to ever evolve, change, or have an open mind since you see people with opposing viewpoints as "nazis, fascists, racists, sexists and homophobes who are too afraid of anything changing".

    Honestly, I'm glad more people like you are just flat out stating honestly how you view the other side. It makes it clear there is no point in every trying to compromise with you since you have already written off as stupid and evil.

    You are comparing apples to oranges by comparing European definitions to American ones.

    It's about as accurate as us stating Europeans have no right wing since they don't line up with our perception.

    But you know that.

    The caravan/army/mob is already here.
    It's the late arrivals coming after your great-grandparents that you have a problem with.

    So you think it's the same thing? Does that mean you feel we should be afraid of them? I mean, how well did the natives do against our "great-grandparents?"

    The profit will not be had if no one buys the phone. Your entire post is just whiny despair. "I'm not going to vote with my wallet because they won't listen to me." To say this even when the thing you want is now in the market makes your position even more laughable.
