Here we go again. Stick to making consumer products. :eek::(:rolleyes::eek:

You are a bit short-sighted.

Glad trump is focusing on the important issues :rolleyes:

At the same time I'm getting a little tired of Apple giving their input on issues like this.

He starts to look more and more like this guy from Germany with that little moustache, when will he start building concentration camps and start moving everybody he doesn't like in it? Horrible person!

Popular vote means nothing. Bill Clinton never received a majority vote for President. The closest he got was 49.2% when he was re-elected. On his first election he won with 43% of the popular vote. So in both elections, the majority of voters wanted someone else. The system works as it should. You may not like the outcome, but don't pretend you've been slighted by it.

Voting in the US is like a box of chocolates, you never gonna know what you gonna get. Greetings Forrest G.

Homosexuality is a genetic mutation that's actually found in many other species. Believing that you're of a different gender is a mental issue just like bulimia where people who weigh 90lbs thinking they're fat when looking in the mirror.

You are over-simplifying a complex issue into a black and white thing. That doesn't really speak in favor of your IQ.
Perhaps we should have the dumb people pee outside. :)
 
Some hard working people make a living working with a Mac and paying $5k for a Mac that is 4 years old, overpriced and slow, is not good.

Don't tell people what is good for them and what their concerns have to be.

What do people have to do according to you ? Stop working and watch snowflakes destroying properties while protesting bathrooms laws ?

Gotta tell ya, I could go on Amazon and piece together something better for 1/3 the cost. It won't be as pretty, but damn Apple, you're out there selling a Commodore 64 like it's an Apple IIe. Or I could just buy one of these:

It's always easy to figure out what you're getting. See how States individually are leaning. They've been going red for a while now.

Telling people the nMP is slow and overpriced isn't good either. It all depends on whats relative to what software your using and price/value. If your using FCPX rather than Premiere Pro, speed is going to increase productivity relative to the initial cost. A lot of Adobe's software is in need of a total rewrite and MacOS/FCPX which is tuned for the nMP & iMac platform is faster in many regards.
 
No, I mean the things that you didn't mention. A fraudulent "university", self dealing charity money to pay off legal bills and buy paintings of himself, violating the Cuban embargo. Crooked things like that.
All of those can be argued but you wouldn't change your mind so what's the point. Just enjoy watching your false reality created by CNN.
 
I like how every single reply to my post focuses solely on the use of the word "technicality", and not on the actual point I was making (that Trump was not elected by the wish of the majority of the American people, as bladerunner2000's post I was replying to said).

This is what is known as "reading for comprehension". While all these individuals are technically reading my post, none of them are truly interpreting the communication within. Or maybe they are, and they are choosing to complain about my specific wording, rather than the content of my message, because they have no real response to it. There's another word for that.

Your point doesn't matter. The popular vote doesn't matter. The electoral college is the ONLY thing that matters. There are no consolation prizes for the Presidential Election.

I suggest reading up on it. http://www.historycentral.com/elections/Electoralcollgewhy.html

Translation: You can't actually argue the case, especially since the Trump organization has lost court cases and even admitted wrong doing in some of these things.

A little hard to make the case here if it couldn't be made in a court of law.

The false reality is the notion that you could argue the case better than it already was. LOL
 
"Clearly". ???? Are you not paying attention??
Ironic.
[doublepost=1488517998][/doublepost]
Do you even understand what you're saying? You're a male, so hopefully you will use the male restroom. Your scenario is ridiculous. If a transgender person identifies as a male, they will use the male restroom. You argue this as though a transgender person has a different motive to use a rest room.

Honestly, why does this even matter to you? Does it bother you that much? Do two men loving each other and wanting to get married bother you? Who cares. We are a country that should embrace diversity. That's the point of the quote. Maybe the problem is closer to home than you think.
Even if they IDENTITY as a woman or male, they are still BIOLOGICALLY what they were born as, this is not something that can be argued, but of course, you will.
[doublepost=1488519337][/doublepost]
That would be democracy, yes. Are you seriously mystified by this concept?
[doublepost=1487991089][/doublepost]
It's not that simple. In a biological sense, you would be incorrect to say that everyone is born clearly male or female. In a social/cultural sense, you would be incorrect to say that our ideas of male/female gender entirely conform with the "natural." In a psychological sense, you'd be wrong to say that everyone feels the same way. Finally, in a moral sense, you'd be incorrect to say that forcing a trans woman who looks female to use the men's bathroom is the "right thing to do." (Oh, one more: in a statistical sense, you'd be wrong to claim that trans people pose a threat to their co-bathroom users. There is just no basis in crime statistics, or logic, for that dumb argument.)
I don't know where you are coming up with your idiotic view of what biological is, you're born a male or female, that's fact.

Oh please what?

How about please answer my question...

Also, please list your qualifications that enabled you to determine this to be a mental illness.

Sounds like you're making a load of pseudo-scientific BS up to fit with your predetermined prejudice.

"There has to be a cause somewhere". Yes, there is a cause for everything. Well done on figuring that out.

There's also a cause for preferring pasta over rice, Apple products over Microsoft. How about you respect a person's own wishes to be whoever they wish to be and stop jumping to conclusions that they are mentally ill. You know...it wasn't so long ago that people were labelling homosexuality as a mental illness (and some still do). I'm absolutely appalled at what you are spouting here!
[doublepost=1487945431][/doublepost]
Who is mentally ill?

Please show your credentials or sources for this determination.
[doublepost=1487945662][/doublepost]
"Me thinks"? "What went wrong"? "Get rid of it"? "Weirdos"?

Want to provide something to backup your offensive and BS statements? My, what disgusting filthy and dangerous rhetoric you are spouting! There's a word for people like you...
If you're offended, seek help.
 
Majority did vote for Hillary in the election but archaic unfair electoral college is still in place.. Sanders got railroaded by the DNC. Americans are easily fooled and simpletons. The whiners got what they deserve now and everyone is paying the price. Waiting for impeachment day now.

I actually hope that happens. Everything has been a complete embarrassment for USA with Trump.
 
Cry a little more, someone might actually feel sympathy for you some day.

Our country should embrace diversity. Transgender people aren't trying to indentify as men or women, so they can use the public restroom for some nefarious purpose. Go to bathroom, clean hands and leave bathroom. I believe most Americans use public restrooms for that purpose, not to try and figure out who's transgender in restroom. Worry more about yourself and less about the next human being, because these people are human beings.

I never implied they weren't so not sure why you are replying to me. They can do what they want in the proper bathroom based off their biological sex. Simple as that.

Cry? Au contraire, I'm laughing at your ineptitude and clumsy misapprehension.

And as for sympathy? Why would I require any? I do not seek it, not in relation to this topic anyway. You seem to have mistaken my defence of fellow human beings who just happen to be transgender, with those of someone who identifies as such. I'm just responding as another human being who does not appreciate bizarre slurs undeservingly aimed at them (that just reveals the insecurity of the abusers). Ironically, verbal attacks of this nature are often a sign of mental sickness in the minds of those that dish it out, rather than, as has been claimed, in the minds of transgender people themselves. Everyone has the right to be who they want to be and do what they want to do, so long as they do no harm to others (excluding self defence). That includes using the toilet that matches the gender that they identify with. Fear of some big burly pervert being alone in the toilet with a little girl is ridiculous unfounded nonsense, not borne out in reality, unsubstantiated and only serves to scaremonger others into joining the anti-transgender cause and further their prejudicial views.

From where do you get this? I'd be careful about tossing around generalized comparisons to people with psychiatric disorders.

Meanwhile here in Houston just today we had a 15 year accidentally shoot himself, and a mother pull a gun on another mother in an elementary school parking lot.

And in Texas they're trying to pass one of these stupid bathroom bills, outlawing transgenders from using the bathroom of their choice. And they keep on saying it's for the safety of the children.

Priorities are f***ed up.
