Read post number 216 (scoobydoo99), his comment touches more on my statements. Certainly life is "unfair", but it is also [collectively] up to humanity to determine what life "is". Unfortunately, humanity isn't proving itself to be "humane".
This made me [even] sadder.People really do suck. It's moments such as this that make me want to live on an island, or shut myself away. Every time I hear someone who banters on about the "New World Order", I sometimes walk away wondering "what if?". Now, even more so...
A utopia would be one filled with aritificial intellegence or filled with artists and hippy musicians.

Sounds like an Apple ad... and sounds good to me, I like artists, philosophers and "hippy" musicians. As a friend once stated, I'd rather be in a room full of hippy pot smokers than a room full of drunks...
How about a room full of artificial artists and artificial hippy musicians? Been there, done that, not fun. I hate pretenders.

LOL Hey! I like philosophy
...although yeah, I see your point...
There was no real point.![]()
I assumed you were poking fun.

LOL oh, the idealistic youth. If only you knew. And I say this as a 32-year-old, and even I feelld and wise" compared to some of the claptrap in this thread. Hate to break it to you guys, but many hippies beat their wives, cheated people out of money, hired the Hell's Angels to do security for their concerts, etc. etc. Be REALISTIC for just a SECOND instead of blindly idealistic. I believe in idealism, but for goodness' sakes, being a poor smelly hippy does not inherently make you a "better person" than a wealthy executive. And why all the vitriol for Cook, when Jobs is way more wealthy? Oh wait, Jobs was adopted, isn't that right? Made his own way, with a unique idea, and some zeal? American Dream I think it used to be called? Hate away on the folks who accomplish more than you ever will, but the REALITY is, folks who are born into poverty have more of a chance to strike it rich now, than at any other point of human civilization EVER. That is a FACT. Things might not be perfect now, but they're better now, in the US of A, than they have been for most of the several hundred thousand years people have been people. I call that progress.

Understood but I wonder what the "low-life" regular employees at Apple think about a guy getting $20 million in cash and stock for six months of watching the store while Steve was away.5 Mil is a lot, but at least Apple actually makes something. Unlike these guys that just push money around, crash financial markets, and run away 100's of millions for their trouble.

It really is insane and I think Apple should spread the wealth, including giving some of that 40 Billion hoard to the stockholders.
I dont live in America nor does that effect me,
But when Americas economy hits a pothole, you claim it is responsible to the rest of the world.
You dont think this healthcare policy will have economic impact? Naivete at its peak.
The government is at best an inefficient administrator. Most times when the government interferes with an industry (banking, housing, healthcare) they cause more trouble than they fix. What DOES the government do that is efficient and reliable? Not much.
Wow this thread has become crazy,
I am very sad for the people in the US who curse and swear at the current administration in Pennsylvania Avenue - wow what a mess he inherited after eight years of anarchy. You used 9/11 and lies to enforce your will on Iraq when it was only oil and Saddam's renegading on a private deal with GB senior. You managed to become hated as a Nation for your bullying tactics,

As long as you carry on how you are now you will never recover.
And if the shareholders disagree with it, changes will be made. But they are too busy still counting there money from last quarter so I doubt they mind.
