Tim Cook's belief set doesn't require the extermination or deportation of people he doesn't like. As soon as it does, you're welcome to establish some sort of equivalency.

Apple Pulls Apple Pay Support From Websites Selling White Nationalist and Nazi Apparel [Updated]

I am not sure this is an avoidable thing in a free-market society. I deeply disapprove of white (or any kind of racial) supremacist movement. But this sort of thing can and will be done to other groups that Apple's leadership finds objectionable, but which I support.
The fact that they had to pull it means probably many as it keeps the transaction private.
Interesting position. What are thoughts about our national policies of discriminating against murderers, rapists, and child molesters? We do tend to lock them up, confiscate all of their funds and execute them where permitted by law.
That is easy for me. I would provide services or goods to anyone who was legally entitled to purchase them. And for any purpose that was legal.
And that's for the exact reason you point out. Let me put it back on you. How much evil will you support? Either you do business without passing judgement on your customers, or you admit that you are willing to support a little evil, or a moderate amount of evil, but not super evil.
To me someone who thinks they have a responsibility to prevent evil, but will turn a blind eye to it as long as it's not too evil is a hypocrite. It's only up to me to decide if what they are doing is legal under law.
There are only two genders. To claim otherwise is to ignore science. You have XY for male and XX for female. This is basic human biology. Anything other than XY, XX pairs is a genetic defect, much like Down syndrome where there is an extra #21 chromosome. An extra X or Y chromosome is a genetic defect.

Just because some police officers are bad does not make all police officers bad.
Caveat: There are cases of people with ambiguous or both types of genitalia. These are rare occurances and present people with them the opportunity to choose which to become.
The real question is whether or not society should adapt to accommodate people who want to invent other genders.
I don’t think there is a rise of white supremacy. It’s always been here and is now bubbling up as a blowback of BLM & Antifa.
[doublepost=1502939100][/doublepost]
Exactly. This is a direct result of Antifa and assault on trump supporters and conservatives in general. If the police would have stopped the crap in Berkeley, San Jose, Baltimore and Dallas this would not have occurred.

Really? Honestly??
Just goes to show how silly people are. Too focused on the two men. Look at that curb. Where do you see that in any downtown areas in the US? The speed sign? That's not remotely North American. When was the last time police wore those types of helmets in the US? Even the freaking road markings aren't anything you'd see in the US.Side note: The photo from that video’s thumbnail of the “Antifa” guy clubbing the police officer has been debunked and linked back to a Getty Images photo from the 2009 protests in Greece.

Besides, Golden Dawn are the far-right Nazi-esque party of Greece.
Can’t you find a way to say they are all bad, violent and anti-liberty? Or is that just too tough to wrap your mind around?
I think you are right, but it also is a result of Trump being elected. I think these groups have been laying low for the past few years during the Obama era, but now feel emboldened with Trump in the WH.
And his tepid response isn't going to slow them down.
You should go live on network and explain that....CNN, FOX, and MSNBC.
I don't think anyone knows what is going on to be quite frankly. Some groups thinks this is 1940s WW2 era, another group(s) thinks we are in some 1800 fighting against confederacy, and some other groups thinks we in some slave era.
You pick..because i'm not Marty McFly traveling to all different eras to change the world.
You really need to do your own reading and research. Look up what BLM did in Baltimore and Dallas. Look up what Antifa did in Berkeley and San Jose.
Look up what the Nazi's did then get back to me.
So no White Pride T-Shirts allowed but I bet Black and Gay Pride shirts are ok.
That’s not what we were talking about. These Nazis are not WWII nazis. I guarantee I know more about nazis and what lead to their rise to power than you do. I’m 100% pro liberty and they are definitely against my beliefs. But shutting down offensive speech is why we have a 1st amendment. Fight their ideas with your ideas not with clubs.
I don't care what they say they stand for. They ARE fascists
[doublepost=1502941363][/doublepost]
Oh. Look at you so high and mighty. Project much?
[doublepost=1502941708][/doublepost]
So it’s ok if BLM and Black Bloc overlap? But it’s not ok if nazis overlap with southerners who love their heritage? (Not that I’d want to overlap with a nazi)
[doublepost=1502941872][/doublepost]
I know I’m right. But it’s ok. I’m not going to change minds on MR.
[doublepost=1502941938][/doublepost]
Wow. So pro political violence? You need to be on a list. And you are very intolerant.
[doublepost=1502942155][/doublepost]
Exactly. But there is too much power and money in keeping us separated.
Of course. All hate should be intolerable and Tim Cook completely and hypocritically contradicted everything that he stated by failing to call out all sides responsible for what happened over the weekend.
Of course, this is also a very familiar pattern for him, as he is very selective at best when it comes to calling out the lack of human rights for those in China, the Middle East and in other parts of the world. He's all about playing SJW except when it might hurt his own bottom line.
This still falls under genetic defect.
As for people that invent their gender or “switch sides...” that is a mental disorder and should be treated as such.
[doublepost=1502944388][/doublepost]
Pointing the finger somewhere else doesn’t change what BLM did nor does it make it acceptable.
