I really don’t appreciate you using terms like “cult” or questioning the political or sexual alignment of Apple users.
I was a Microsoft Certified Network Administrator. I have built dozens if not hundreds of Windows boxes. I used to be a strident Apple-hater.
When I started my own business I looked seriously at Apple. While I was very capable of handling any hardware/software issues that may (would) have come up with Windows machines, I decided my time was better spent running my company. Not having to mess with malware, viruses, registries, defragging, and poorly timed mandatory updates has been a God-send. Apple allows me to focus on running my company.
BTW, I vote conservative. I attend a church affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. I have been happily married to the same woman for 29 years and I drive a Jeep. I owen six firearms and contribute time and money to pro-life organizations and causes. They don’t come much more red-blooded, conservative American than I and I proudly use Apple products.
Now go shove that up your Windows...
My real problem with Apple is that they DELIBERTLY chose to make obscene profits (and enrich the Chi-coms) by having products made in the China.
China allows teenagers(Under 18) to work in a factory environment. I have a big problem with cultists who defend that situation. — Reply #17 written by mad_as_he$$
It was YOU who connected those two things as a reason why Apple should be condemned with NO evidence that underage workers actually were employed on Apple's products! YOU wrote it, you intended that readers make the connection, and therefor you said it ON THIS THREAD. I have rebutted you and now you try to deny ever saying it? That's rich. How very LIBERAL of you!
Hypocrite! You are the cultist here. . . your Microsoft can do no wrong. It was Microsoft X-Boxes that were being made where the spate of suicides occurred that were blamed on Apple. . . not Apple products. It was again MICROSOFT X-boxes that were being assembled when 200 or so of those workers went on strike and went up on the roof and threatened mass suicide if they were not allowed more overtime. . . NOT Apple products workers!
These are easily learned facts if you would get your head out of your posterior and learn some. . . instead of swallowing the propaganda being pushed by organizations with AGENDAS who just happen to use Apple because they get more attention by using the largest company in the world instead of one that doesn't get as much attention. If you read down beyond the LEDE you often even find those facts in the articles themselves, and Apple's connection is only in the headline. . . and does not occur in the body of the article except possibly to mention a reference that the company involved also works on Apple products somewhere else!
