The Muslim community isn't silent on Islamic terrorism.

Indeed they are not silent, They loudly celebrate their radical Islamic terrorism...why in the world would they still be a part of such a religion if they didn't agree with it...After all their book tells them to kill anyone that believes in scriptures other than their own.....The entire concept of Islam is against the constitution where women are oppressed and other religions are persecuted...This is what is so mind boggling how liberals could be so supportive about such an oppressive institution...

do you do all the crazy **** the Bible says?

Normal people don't give a **** about bible, but it's great that you asked.

Christianity has made big advancements here and basically all christians have found ways to ignore it or to find alternative ways to explain that book of nonsense in a not literal way in order not to do those things. Islam on the other hand is objective the most dangerous religion out there and regardless of the way they interpret it it ends up with death, explosions and other bad things.

The only religion of peace is Jainism. The more extreme those people get, the less you have to worry about them.
 
Your ignorance disgusts me.

Let me know when Apple does something other than outsource. If you work for them, you're expendable as long as Tim has an out to bring someone in for less.

What I find interesting is that the people who insist that we have to let anyone into this country without question (because they need the talent) are the same people who insist that we need to "buy local" and crow about "locally-sourced" products. You mean to tell me that American tech companies can't find the talent they need from American citizenry? If the answer to that is "no" then I would suggest that you take a long hard look at the education system in this country which these same people claim to support without question.
 
Did you even bother to watch the video? Scroll up. And yes, Obama administration certainly, at times, had a huge preference for Muslims and had no problem pushing persecuted Christians to the back of the line.

State Dept. in Fiscal Year 2016 on Syrian refugee stats:

Muslims: 12,486
Christians: 68
Yazidis: 24

- Do you realize that the overwhelming majority of population in Syria is Muslim? It is natural then that there are more muslims asking for refugee status than Christians.
- Do you realize that Muslims are the most persecuted ethnic group by ISIS?
- Do you realize that most Christians live in the Southwest near the border with Israel and Jordan, which is the safest place to be in Syria?
- Did you check if those numbers include Christians refugees that are registered as Palestinians?
- Do you realize that Christian Syrians may choose different countries to ask for refugee status other than the US?

If you want to prove that, you need to check each individual file and see if there is any kind of discrimination there.
 
It will come out in time that it was indeed a large majority.....Much more than 3 million illegals voted...This is old news and has been going on a long time.
Sure. Show me the lawsuits where three million illegals voted? If 3 million illegals voted then Trump should've sued. Maybe 3 million illegals voted in his favor and he's an illegitimate president.
 
Slow hand clap for the attempt to twist Dons twisted agenda. Guns don't need to come in from anywhere. You can get free semi-automatic rifles with breakfast cereal. You know who needs vetting, people dumb enough to believe that the billionaire narcissist sociopath gives a single tiny thought about any of you.

If you are going to compare those two items needs to be apples to apples. I made it so the comparison was more equal, and also asked for clarity. There are some justified gun killings. Rapists, murder attempts, robberies gone wrong, self inflicted, Police, etc. Also, the way they arrive was not the same. It was just not a good comparison.
 
Someone said the majority voted for Trump, and the majority is the popular vote, and Trump didn't win the popular vote, so anyone who says "the majority voted for Trump" is just plain wrong. It doesn't matter what strategies they used, and who got the most votes in the Electoral College - fact is that anyone says "the majority voted for Trump" is wrong.

It will come out soon that Trump won the Popular Vote. There are people on the Hillary voter fraud as we speak that stole her 5 states. You'll be running out of excuses after the big news breaks in a few weeks to a month on some other things.

Well, the "Wikleaks guy" is accused. But a UK court agreed that it was rape (if it was true) according to UK law, so he would have been extradited. Of course he would be a free man for the last few years if you hadn't decided to jail himself in the Ecuador embassy...

All of this came out as false and created to smear Assange. Where are you getting your info?

For anyone level headed here who deals in reality, this is what we are dealing with ^ Jabronis like this who only care if their team wins, not the actual truth of the matter. I always wonder if people can be enlightened by the truth or continue to deny it. This is not a Democrat/Republican thing. This is an US vs. the Elites thing. Once you realize "real" Main Stream News is a false narrative, and that independent news is the actual truth, you will see. It takes self reflection, the ability to humble yourself and eat crow.
 
This has nothing to do with not wanting to hire Americans. We do not have the capacity and efficiency that other countries do for manufacturing, nor the labor costs.

DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA BY APPLE.

We have the efficiency if we build more automated factories, and the labor coasts are then affordable due to higher productivity. We cannot compete on labor costs alone, we need to be more productive so the labor costs are in line with lower cost countries on a per unit basis.

I think you are replying to someone else - Or having a one sided conversation (much like Herr Trump) I have zero idea what you are talking about.

That's a big IF though, don't you think? Either way, I still see no evidence that Apple is against hiring American workers where it makes business sense.

I fully agree. My point is the type of hire for manufacturing today is very different than it was in the day when labor was a significant percentage of the manufacturing time and cost. Apple hires people that it needs, pure and simple.
 



Apple has joined 96 other companies in filing a legal brief opposing President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration, Bloomberg reported on Monday.

The brief comes in support of a lawsuit from Minnesota and Washington states, brought against Trump's controversial executive order temporarily barring citizens of the predominantly Muslim-countries Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen, from entering the U.S.

The filing went on to criticize the Trump administration's handling of the travel ban, claiming that it sows confusion and threatens companies' ability to attract skilled workers in the long run.

Because, you know, Apple needs to get that diversity quota up and recruit more misogynists and homophobes. :rolleyes:

Does anyone else see the irony in the fact that Tim Cook would be stoned to death in these countries due to his lifestyle choices?
[doublepost=1486494875][/doublepost]
The US, with Western friends, have destroyed islamic countries. This naturally fuelled hate. Adding the serious issues of islam results in a dangerous mix. So it's good to keep the bad guys out, but it's also backwards.

What about the US also seeks forgiveness and offers deep apologies & real help to the millions of fellow people that are affected by their illegal wars?!


Agree with what you say above except the part about Western friends, we did it all on our own. We didn't need anyone's help.

However, instead of apologizing, how about we just leave? I don't see any good coming out of the U.S.'s continued involvement in the Middle East.

Then why did you enter the middle of a two way conversation without reading the initial part of the conversation :)? I am guessing it was not you who brought up the comparison between guns and better vetting for people from terrorist nations?

Again. Go back and read what has already been stated. If there are 7 countries smuggling in guns to the US and they are getting here via air travel, then by all means....add a better vetting system for those countries. If you want to try this apple and oranges comparison then lets compare guns with cars, as it would be a similar type of comparison.
 
Of course all of these businesses are pushing for migration and free trade. Every one of them wants access to the American marketplace without consequence, taxation or participation.

This is the great conflict of the times. It is not a racial battle but rather an economic one in which Americans risk being reduced to subject consumers in their own country.

Nice comment. Believe what you want to believe. It's the liberal way : ).
 
Wasn't it the Austrians, Holy Roman Empire, and Poland - Lithuania that stopped the Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Vienna? Much of Hungary was under Ottoman control at the time, and the Hapsburgs eventually retook it.
[doublepost=1486467412][/doublepost]

Those folks that took over a BLM site need to understand that as well.
You might be right, I guess my history is a little fuzzy
 
Nice comment. Believe what you want to believe. It's the liberal way : ).

I believe in facts. I believe in falsifiability. I believe in well-grounded research. I don't believe in arguments based on clearly biased views and no background on basic statistics.
 
The key point is that as an employer I will hire people that are best for the job or people who have highest potential. I don't care if I end up with 10 white males or 10 black women or 10 jews. Business doesn't care about things like nationality, because it doesn't help business in any way.

I'm completely sure that all competent Americans are being hired, because some company somewhere sees them as best for the job.

If you get 10 black women, or 10 white men you won't make the best product because they will be too culturally similar.

Smuggling in Guns.... to the USA... are you deluded. You think that's what this is about? Guns aren't coming from those 7 countries. A different religion is coming from those countries.

I said if you want to make America safer stop selling guns and ammo like it's BBQ equipment.

Terrorism by its very nature is the fear or something happening not the actual act which is relatively rare. In fact it's less now than in the past 50 years. Trump is playing on that fear much like Bush did.

He pouts and tweets in broken English about 'Bad Men' and complains about fairness and that things are 'sad' like a 14 year old girl, ignores facts, lies and has 'drained the swamp' of all his billionaire buddies straight into the White House. None of which give a damn about the actual working class people who were conned into voting for him.

You are the one who is now going to have to put up with him wreaking the country, I've got dual nationality and I'll be back when he's impeached or dies on the toilet like the tub of grease that he is.

Republican way is to believe what a narcissistic fat old billionaire tweets without question. Sad. Unfair. Whaaaa.
