(I’m not buying a CEO or a sexual orientation ... I’m buying product that doesn’t have a sexual orientation and none of those products have even attempted to persuade me on a sexual orientation.)
Not even a good straw man. I don’t remember arguing that Apple products persuade you on a sexual orientation. That’s ridiculous! I frankly don’t give a hoot about anybody’s sexual orientation. That’s their business.
If Christians en mass boycotted businesses that showed bigotry or hatred toward them, those businesses would be hurt financially, and investors would rightly turn on the CEO for failing his fiduciary responsibility of maximizing their return instead of abusing his position and hurting the company on his personal vendetta. CEO’s would then think twice about showing such bigotry as the spokesman of their company.
Conversely, if CEO’s like Cook don’t pay any price for their bigotry and instead get only pats on the back from fellow progressives, more and more companies would see only positives from attacking Christians, instead of being shamed for their actions.
By all means keep being an enabler, but at least don’t insult people’s intelligence by acting like you don’t know what you’re really doing.
It’s no straw man because I have nothing to do with it. I’m buying “product” and I’m buying it for what it does for me. If you don’t like it, take care of it the way you want.
As for me, straw man or not ... I’m buying the best product for meeting the needs that I have, which happens to be Apple products. Buy your products the way you want, because I don’t actually care what you buy ... LOL ...
My products have nothing to do with sexual orientation and thus ... I don’t care about sexual orientation when I’m buying them.
AND ... I would say that there are about 700 other FReepers who are also just buying product, too ... for what it does for them ... :-) ...
