Apple CEO Tim Cook Publicly Comes Out as Gay in Letter Declaring Support for Equality

[aerok]

No he didn't practice it, he wasn't against it. He was extremely humble and chose not to condem those that did, hence his many quotes explaining that he understood why some did.

You can be against something, yet be humble about it and not condemn people.

ie. I'm against bigots, but I'm humble with them and don't condemn them

 

[aggiesrwe03]

Did you ever have to fight for your right based on your race, gender or sex behavior?

You forgot religous persecution... Or is that not worthy because God doesn't exist anyway?

 

[bandrews]

No. That is my life choice.

Dude. I was driving and misread it. I've explained it five times already. Relax.

Your choice. However not the choice of someone you may drive into.

Which proves that people can have sex with someone of the same gender and not be gay.

(Sorry... I got called out for making that statement earlier)

Yup, and how often do people have sex who aren't in a 'loving relationship'.

FFS people, it's just sex.

 

[downpour]

No. That is my life choice.

Surely if you aren't concentrating while driving, you are making a choice about 'other' people's lives.

This thread brings the epicness. I mean like serious

It does.

 

[chrmjenkins]

No he didn't practice it, he wasn't against it. He was extremely humble and chose not to condem those that did, hence his many quotes explaining that he understood why some did.

You mean he was a decent guy that didn't try and dictate people did with their private lives by insisting it be outlawed?

People who are agnostic or atheistic understand why people choose religion because they had to make the same exact choices before reaching their conclusion. Understanding doesn't mean empathizing.

 

[pooleman]

Question: When you have sex with yourself is it gay? After all it's with a person of the same gender.

Face it homophobes, you've experienced sex with the same gender.

Performing this act is only gay if you are thinking of a member of the same sex during the act. Performing this act while thinking about the opposite sex during just makes you a loser.

 

[mudslag]

No. That is my life choice.

What happens when your life choice blinds sides someone elses life choice of walking across the street?

 

[Ramio]

I disagree.

Without faith, man cannot exist. What is religion, but faith in a particular set of parameters?

Do you know, when you throw the light switch, that the light will turn on? What if it is burned out or have an open in the wiring?

You believe it will. In other words, you have faith. Most of what we learn is belief-based.

Thus your statement is full of belief, as you cannot definitively prove religion is bs, and self-contradictory.

If you believe Jesus walked on water we have a serious issue. If I came today and told you there was a guy who lives far away who walks on water, you'll tell me I'm crazy but because it happened 2000 years ago, it's believable?!. Humans existed for a very long time without religion and did just fine. If you believe the answer to this huge universe with billions of stars and planets is in a book written 2000 years ago, good for you. I don't but hey, whatever makes you happy.

Hey guys, we're going to have to wrap this up soon. The annual war on xmas is about to start so we need to let the warriors join the fight.

 

[melendezest]

You don't know what hearsay means do you? By definition what I am saying CANNOT be hearsay. Look it up.

hear·say
ˈhirˌsā/
noun
noun: hearsay

information received from other people that one cannot adequately substantiate; rumor.

Hmm, "information received from other people" i.e. you, "that one" i.e. me, "cannot adequately substantiate; rumor."

It is exactly hearsay.

 

[aerok]

You forgot religous persecution... Or is that not worthy because God doesn't exist anyway?

You're perfectly allowed to be a proud to be Christian/Jewish/Buddhist/Muslim/...

But you're also allowed to be proud to be gay.

 

[NY Guitarist]

Who cares.

I don't care. But I do care if a person or group is being discriminated against, and will challenge those who discriminate.

 

[pooleman]

Surely if you aren't concentrating while driving, you are making a choice about 'other' people's lives.

I was born that way!


And don't call me Shirley.

Oh, c'mon... 5 more minutes!!

 

[Macboy Pro]

Technically it does. But who cares? How does it affect your life at all if a couple of gay people can get married? Let them do their thing.. that's what America is supposed to be.. "free".

The fact that there's 70 pages about this is a despicable testament to how far society still has to go. So many people still stuck in the 19th century.


It's also quite funny to hear religious people whine about the "redefinition of marriage" like religion invented the term. Pro-tip: marriage has been around for longer than organized religion.

You clearly have not read what I posted. I do not refer to religion at all.

And by the way, it doesnt affect my life if you start calling women "Men". But doesn't make it correct.

Wrap it up... Lol Tim

Only in your mind...

What do you think about? Or have you NEVER had solo sex? lol

 

[mudslag]

I disagree.

Without faith, man cannot exist. What is religion, but faith in a particular set of parameters?

And yet many people exist and do just fine without religion or faith. Your statement is wrong.

 

[Macboy Pro]

If you say whatever is whatever, why should we listen to you on definitions of terms? What makes you the lord of terminology?

No one. I never claimed to be the lord of anything. I just provided FACTUAL definitions and argued my point.

You name seems to be fitting. Good choice.

 

[aerok]

But doesn't make it correct.

Why?

 

[pooleman]

What happens when your life choice blinds sides someone elses life choice of walking across the street?

Stupid people will argue about it on macrumors.com endlessly. Some will defend me and some will condemn me. All of them will be wrong.

 

[rdowns]

I was born that way!


And don't call me Shirley.

Actually you weren't, you made the choice to stray from Jesus' message.

 

[pooleman]

Only in your mind...

We can debate this all day. But I'll win.


I'm the masterdebator.
