Apple Store, Teheran, Iran. One might want to ask the MOROON at Apple what happens to gays in Iran, where he has this store....?

Sell Stocks, facebook and twitter your friends. Cancel vacations in these states and reschedule to Indiana, Arkansas or any of the other 30 States that aren't boycotting Indiana that have RFRA laws.
Hard to boycott something you wouldn’t use in the first place or a place you have no desire or inclination to go to.
I’ve never bought a single Apple product in my life. I’ve never liked the name for starters, Jobs alas was a moonbat (who moved his production to Red China with the help of government liberals), and the guy running things there now is miles beyond merely odious.
My phone is a Samsung. I’d rather buy from Korea than use any Apple product.
Oops, Steelers — you’re going up against our resident Apple fanboys here on Freerepublic
No problem with something I would not buy or a place I would go to begin with.
Wal-Mart too? Lots of corporations on the list coming out of the woodwork this time.
I already emailed Angie’s List with the subject matter “Indiana” and the message “don’t bother me again”....which was referring to their constant emails trying to get me to sign up.
That makes 2 of us. Never owned anything made by Apple.
My daughter had a iPhone and instead of upgrading to anothe iPhone, she opted for a Motorola made smart phone and is happy with it.
There are free web sites similar info as Angie’s List. Why pay for something when it is free in other places?
Dammit, I don’t think I can boycott Wally’s world. It is close by, and extremely convenient.
I used to be neutral about it- neither a fanboi nor a detractor. My attitude is that Apple gear is great technology but that it is over-hyped, and for my tastes I find it overpriced but that’s what market choice is all about. That has now changed because they’re using a publicly-traded as a political weapon. Wilfully alienating a large segment of your customer base is a violation of their fiduciary duty to protect the shareholders’ investment. By contrast, I disagree with most of Bill Gates’ political views but he doesn’t go out of the way to compromise the company’s interests when he expresses them.
Angie’s List is a different story entirely. Their announcement was a desperate bid to gain positive PR after getting busted for a $40-million billing fraud in 2012, an $13-million stock fraud in 2014, and a lawsuit this year alleging misrepresentation (they were rewriting customer reviews for a fee). Their attempt to “change the channel” backfired in spectacular fashion; a Google search on “Angie’s List lawsuit” on Sunday only yielded hits from legal journals but now the stories are all over the web. I suspect they’ll be out of business by Labour Day at the absolute latest.
I grocery shop at HEB and don’t get to WM very often anymore
If they email you again you can report them to the blacklist server operators as a spammer. Don’t recall who they are (20 years since I set up a mail server), but reporting is just a matter of forwarding the email with “spam” in the subject line. Enough complaints and no server will accept messages from angieslist.com because nearly every mail exchanger employs blacklist filtering from these databases.
The local Walmart by me is just a mess. It’s a little easier to shop there since they put in a few robo-cashiers, but the store is just untidy and very hard on the eyes. Plenty of other stores nearby compete very well with it.
the best thing that could happen is for a massive Christian organization to with many thousands of people in it, to inform all these companies that they will no longer do business with them nor visit their states- These companies are threatening to financially hurt Indiana- fight fire with fire- I bet there are farm ore people who support Indiana than there are who oppose them-
J.c.Penny ran ads awhile ago espousing the gay lifestyle- and people reacted strongly and cost J.C.Penney a lot of money- then years later Ford company tried the same thing, and people stopped buying their cars and hurt the company- sending a loud and clear message-
No reason why this can’t happen again-
send them another email informing them that since they are bigoted against Christians and their beliefs, inform them that Indiana’s law was NEVER about discrimination, but what angie’s list is trying to do IS about discrimination and you simply won’t stand for it and that you will search for other websites which offer the same services and THEY will get your money
Just IN? Just a bakery, a florist, a photographer, a farm, a B&B?
Appears that the sodomites are searching out small Christian businesses across the country to crush with the jackboot of tyranny.
Want to keep your business, your livelihood, your home, your dreams?
Then bow to the gods of Sodom & Gommorah and their representative on earth, the government.
Make that three. Never owned an Apple product and I didn’t want to turn into an Apple fag.
Here’s another one. Ive never even heard of Angie’s List until today. I thought it was a list to buy from Angelina Jolie.
