ad hominem - An argument based on the perceived failings of an adversary rather than on the merits of the case; a logical fallacy that involves a personal attack.
QED. And for you other whine:
"I just got through demonstrating that you started this discussion by throwing insults and slurs because you did not agree, and true to form you again LIE and misrepresent the facts I just laid out for everyone who cares to look to see. . . . That makes you a Liar."
See this is the really fun thing about you. You make it so easy. The only way the statement directly above is true is if you can change the definition of ad hominem. Which of course you can't.
Sparky I will make it plain as day for you. Don't want personal attacks directed at you by me don't start a discussion in a thread with me by doing the same to me. Cuz every time you do you will get it back in spades.
Once you start on me with Ad hominem your name is Sparky. Don't want to be called Sparky then well you should be able to figure it out.
“A cellular phone in the box is a costly, valueless brick. “
According to your math, it is an investment since you said you could sell it for more than you could buy the new one for.
Read what I actually said, not what Mad Dawgg claims I said or you WANT me to have said. Quit trying to be a troll. You might be a happier person and not thought to be as stupid as Mad Dawgg appears to the others, even though he thinks he's brilliant. It is too bad he takes this tactic because he may be a pretty good guy, but he makes himself an ASSHAT. Don't do the same. You are well on your way. YOU KNOW WHAT WAS SAID, STOP MIS-INTERPRETING THE MEANING.
Those Apple-haters are better contortionists (with their words) than double-jointed circus performers ... LOL ...
“Read what I actually said,”
Here is what you said:
“When I upgraded to my iPhone 6, I again SOLD my 18 month old iPhone 5 for twice what I paid for it . . . and I got the iPhone 6 for $0 out of pocket. . . And I put the money I sold the iPhone 5 for in my pocket! My daughter just did the same thing, and put that money in her pocket, too.”
You absolutely said you made profit on iPhones! NO WAY IN HECK do old iPhones sell for more than the new ones.
Sparky:"Read what I actually said, not what Mad Dawgg claims I said or you WANT me to have said."
Post 210: Sparky (again): When I upgraded to my iPhone 6, I again SOLD my 18 month old iPhone 5 for twice what I paid for it...and I got the iPhone 6 for $0 out of pocket. . . And I put the money I sold the iPhone 5 for in my pocket!
And Tex hits it out of the park again!
You cannot be that dense, but perhaps you are. What part of "Out of pocket" do you fail to understand. The monthly expenses would be identical no matter which smartphone I chose. . . I explained the process and the prices quite thoroughly, but you chose to ignore it. TROLL. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. QUIT LOOKING STUPID!
I am done with you idiots. I will not respond again.
Now you went and done it Tex. You got Sparky all weewee'd up and him take his ball and go home....
;)
” What part of “Out of pocket” do you fail to understand. The monthly expenses would be identical no matter which smartphone I chose. “
And those expenses have to be accounted for as part of your ‘out of pocket’ expense.
