Obviously, with you being an APPLE-TROLL, you want to harass and ignore GET LOST!

This isn't about what I want. This is about what Tim Cook wants.

Well, I never said you had to buy it ... I was just telling you that Apple has 93% of the smartphone market profits (and that’s with ALL the other smartphone manufacturers) ... so you can contribute to the remaining 7% of the profits ... :-) ...

There are a few APPLE-HATER TROLLS around, and they appear on the various Apple threads to harass. Those trolls can GET LOST!

The normal posters do just fine, and there are no problems ... :-) ...

I’m with you there ... LOL ... I couldn’t care less either!

I am not “buying Tim Cook” himself when I buy Apple Products, I’m buying the best products around. With the “political matters” on the other hand, I’ll still be backing my conservative candidates and will be supporting my legislators in passing conservative laws.

My Post #57 explains how that works ... :-) ...

Gay people who buy Apple products often get very emotionally overwrought when discussing Starbucks.

Someone wants to be gay, fine. It’s a free country.

But. I have a right to be free from having this garbage pushed on me. And that’s what these laws are about. These laws aren’t an action but a reaction. If these gay rights “activists” weren’t harassing mom and pops out of business in the first place with their intolerance campaigns, then there wouldn’t be a need to pass legislation to protect small business owners against the tactic.

The intolerance on display isn’t the law but the actions these laws are designed to prevent.

The GOP needs to get a little more savvy about how they title these types of laws. If there's two things that liberals hate it's religion and freedom, so putting both those words in one law sends up giant red flags to the left.

What this law really does is prevents left-wing activists from using the courts to force reasonable people into accepting their deviant practices. But the bakers and photographers and other wedding business owners are not trying to outlaw gay activity, they are simply conscientious objectors. And they don't want their conscience to be bullied by gay activists.

Therefore, I would have called this law the Conscientious-Objector Anti-Bullying Law.

Those are code words that the left loves when it applies to themselves, it's time to ask for the same tolerance.

The one-world government that I talk about, will be put into place by the Messiah of Israel, and will be a top-down and very authoritarian government, in which the Messiah of Israel will rule with a “rod of iron” and many people who are here right now will ABHOR it! But, that’s what it will be like. AND ... he will get rid of the US Constitution, too (which many will not like) and there will be VERY INTRUSIVE GUN CONTROL, namely not even allowing ANY GUNS at all!!

The authoritarianism of the Messiah will be turned against corrupt leaders, not the people. And the natural law of God-given rights will still be the law, because it comes from God. And as for guns, the Messiah will greatly enjoy a free people who are completely loaded up with guns, because they are a direct road to a mature, polite and sane society - and they're fun, too. In fact, the only problem with guns is that not enough people have them - something I'm sure the Messiah will correct.

I can assure you I’m no troll. I just don’t like Apple products. My friends and family all do, but I’ve “test driven” a few and didn’t like them.

Obviously, I’m in a minority as it appears Apple is doing quite well without me. And since I believe in capitalism, I say, more power to them and to their customers like you.

Tim Cook, from essay: "This isn't a political issue. It isn't a religious issue. This is about how we treat each other as human beings."

So Tim, you want to explain how those things aren't related?

No problem! That’s never been something that I’ve insisted someone else should do. I appreciate your attitude and can respect it a whole lot better than some of those others! “Live long and prosper!” ... :-) ...

I know that the Messiah of Israel will get rid of all those opposed to his rule, so like you say, that rule will be directed towards those who are good (namely “saved” having accepted him as their personal savior).

But as far as being totally disarmed, yes the world will be totally disarmed and there will be no more weapons ... because there is no need for weapons. All the expense that has gone into that, in the past and present will then (under His rule) be directed towards things that improve society and not things used to protect oneself from evil and assault and other crimes. It will be the first time in human history that mankind could ever be totally disarmed! The Messiah of Israel will be the protection for everyone!

And also during that new world brought to earth by the Messiah, there will be no more carnivores and other animals eaten by those carnivores, as all animals will live peacefully with one another, not killing one another, and even those vicious carnivores and very dangerous animals will play with little children, nothing harming any other thing in creation! And that will include humans not harming any of those living creatures (i.e., “killing” them).

The indications are from the prior explanations in the Bible, also, that at that time, that our meat-eating society will be no more, having gone to vegetarianism. We can’t do that now, but we will be that way when the Messiah of Israel rules.

Many things that we take for granted now, or think “that is my right” will no longer exist. It’s a RADICALLY DIFFERENT SOCIETY!

I have often made this pledge. To never buy an Apple product again or until Tim Kook takes homo-conversion therapy to revert back to hetero. The religious type therapy and counseling that does this

Do you have to be gay to buy an Apple product or to work there? No, but it helps. I know Rush Limbaugh is not gay. As for the other Apple customers, this goes on a case by case basis.

If Tim Kook resigned tomorrow I might look into a new iPad to replace the one I stomped to bits the first time around that Tim Kook came out flaming about some gay “issues”

That was a waste of a good product! If you had told me, beforehand, I would have given you some MONEY for it ... :-) ... then you could have just screamed out loud in your back yard!

I'm guessing you're intelligent enough that you managed to adapt to using something else just as effectively without a lot of difficulty.
