I maintain the Apple Ping list of over 700 of your fellow Freepers. . . and I know how they feel on this subject. The list members FReepmail me about how offended they are by the tenor of the threads engendered by the nastiness of you insult slinging, homo-name calling TROLLS. I think I am qualified to speak for the Apple users and buyers on FreeRepublic as a spokes person. Or would you like me to ping them so they ALL could tell you they don't like being called HOMO and QUEER because they chose to buy a Mac or an iPhone or a WATCH by juvenile idiots on FreeRepublic??? They've said it often enough because it has been going on for YEARS and we are sick and tired of it. This is just more of the same from more idiots, piled higher and deeper. . . and it makes us more SICK AND TIRED of it. And it makes you people who do it even more pathetic when you do it. So cut it out!
This Ethan character is just the last in a LONG line of that ilk being as nasty as he can. Don't add your name to the list.
BTW I would never think about buying an apple product for pure reasons like the fact they support the leftists...or recent reasons like sticking their nose into Indiana politics while selling products in countries that execute Homosexuals.
So did Microsoft, Google (Android), HP, Intel, FaceBook, Twitter, and about 50 other high-tech companies. In addition NASCAR, the NBA, and a host of non-Tech companies did the same stupid thing. Microsoft started supporting the homosexual legislative agenda TEN YEARS AGO with technical and financial support. I suppose you like the results of their support. Google has been a supporter for far longer. . . and is intimately involved in the White House. . . and puts their agenda items at the top of Google searches.
Microsoft supports the anti-gun movement with huge donations. . . and have made far higher political donations to leftists than Apple ever has. . . but you claim it is Apple that has supported leftists. Google is in bed with Obama. . . but I bet you use an Android phone. . . which facilitates spying on you. . . as does Microsoft. While Apple refuses to give the keys to its encryption to the government.
Apple just got involved recently after staying out of social and political issues and you choose to pick on Apple to the exclusion of all of these others who ALSO do business with countries that execute homosexuals. Are you going to boycott every one of those businesses from your dollars too, or just take the easy route of not buying products from Apple that you would NEVER have bought anyway, just so you can look like you are doing something constructive? HYPOCRITE.
I have never claimed the "moral" high ground. . . that's you anti-Apple hate brigade trolls who have found another club to hammer with on these threads. . . as you hypocritically use your Microsoft products and your Google Android phones built by foreign companies that have been pushing the homosexual agenda for years.
Now, you can get up on YOUR high-horse and look down your snooty nose at all of us Apple users
And DONT threaten OR try TO intimidate ME with YOUR ping list CRAP.
I will only mock you mercilessly.
You sound like the Borg. LMAO!!!!!
Did you ever wonder how many prospective or former apple buyers were turned off by your fanboyism and declined to make further purchases of apple iProducts? Ever think how much money in lost revenues you have cost Tim Cook?
