Idea to end criticism of Apple, and put it where it belongs (i.e., everywhere except Apple)


Just change Apple's motto from "Think Different" to "Ye Who Is Without Sin, May Cast the First Stone."

That is the prevailing mindset and battle cry of the fanboy, after all.

Thoughts?

It would appear that some slave labor is more ethical than other slave labor-- and that seems to be the case for many on both side of this particular fence.

Apple sucks because of what they do, so do the others. Scream loud enough, find a manufacturer who will produce a product humanely and get people behind it and force these slave-labor supporting assholes to stop their practice.

Easier said than done I know, but it can be done ifwe the people want it done.

...would be walking around naked and starving.

I would like to be pure, but I also like wearing clothes.
And eating food.
I'm typing this from my MacBook.
I've been using Apple products for over 25 years.
I remember when they were manufactured in Cork Ireland, and that helped to bring the Irish economy into 1st world status.

I'm wearing a shirt made in India, and when I pulled it off the shelf to try it on, I said to myself "I hope the 12 year old girl who stitched that together is able to send her younger sister to school."

I am not pure, and none of us is.
I like wearing clothes.
And eating.
