Sorry but obsessive and blind self-interest is not "common sense," it is what it is.

And your comments do not belong in this thread in any case.

1. Still no foundation for the claim that you have aright to my life.

2. You seem to completely blank out the ability of people to choose their insurance company, or apply for charitable contributions in the place of the government ramming your policies and ethics down the throats of those who disagree with you.

3. My views are not blind, I've validated every one of them. Yours on the other hand...

4. No tag so I wouldn't see your reply? Again? That means you know you can't defend your view, you can only attack mine. Those posts have no business on this thread.
 
The point is I have a right to my life, and if you don't think that's relevant, then you're not concerned with rights, and you're not concerned with living.

Your lack of ability to prove your views does not mean my validated views are bait. It means you're wrong.

You'll go on and on in the comment section above, but when you come across views you can't refute, you treat them as beneath you. Fact is you're beneath the truth. And you'll stay there until you're willing to be honest with yourself, in spite of what your feelings tell you.

Is this the part where respond with some superior and dismissive comment in order to get the last word, and make sure you're right because you said the last words?
 
you may be in the US when you buy apps, rent movies, buy movies, buy music from apple, but they claim on their taxes that the sale came from Ireland. They then dodge paying taxes on the profits they made from that sale. That behavior the was set up by Apple has become a role-model for the executives at Amazon, Microsoft, Google and many others. And it is all morally wrong.

The job of a CFO is to maximise profits and minimise tax obligations, and we cannot condemn corporations for avoiding taxes in their home market while ignoring the root of the problem. We live in a global economy and as long as there is such massive disparity between tax rates from country to country, corporations are going to continue doing everything in their power to lower their tax payments.

One of the few large companies in the world who actually DESERVE their earnings because it is based on products that people want and make the world a better place. Well done Apple!!!:cool:

Haha, what the heck. Mate, it's just a company that makes what used to be top-notch computers. It's not like they are curing cancer or solving global warming.

As we've all said before, they are doomed.

Right, because what matters most is how much money Timmy is printing out, not the fact that they are releasing crappy hardware and software like in the 90s.

Right, because ALL of Apple's money goes only into the development of Siri and Mail. They have absolutely NOTHING else to work on or worry about!

Lol. How much additional money do you think they would need in order to fix Siri? 800 billions seem like a very decent number to have functional apps to me.
 
After reading your signature, you must be a delight at parties. Bored today? Had to rain on everyone's parade?

Just kidding around, I agree with you that Apple's hardware and software has been getting worse over the years, but with revenue like that, I don't see them going anywhere for a LONG time. Unless of course, everyone magically wises up and doesn't buy their products all at once.
