APP/ITUNES stores the next billion dollar product .

Implying you're forced at gunpoint to buy Apple products.

Sure I am.



The above is my reply.



And again.


Implying I said that anyone but consumers will be paying for Apple products. Implying it's a scenario akin to "leeching" when you don't have to buy any Apple products for any reason.


No. I won't. Just get off our website.

You're the one making up the message.


Thought it was the Romans who killed messengers...


Your argument isn't based in ANY fact. You're making crap up by ignoring that you don't have to buy Apple Products.

So you're new to the concept of capitalism, then. It was only introduced to you a few days ago, apparently.

Better stop buying food, then. Those food companies are making billions off of you!


Then. don't. buy. from. Apple.

I am guessing a simple highschool business course would help you better understand what you are talking about. Being bitter that Apple is and will make money from selling (you know, sort of what a company is supposed to do) is misdirected. Perhaps you thought companies go into business in order to give away their products?

You are upset that Apple will make billions because that money will come from consumers. Who did you think it was going to come from? Alien charities? It isn't like Apple is just taking that money. The consumer is getting something in return. That is capitalism. That is trade. That is business. MS does it. Google does it. Amazon does it. Exxon does it. Sears does it. Starbucks does it. 7-11 does it. The kids selling lemonade do it. Apple just does it better than most.

Are you 12?

Can you explain how Apple has 'fucked you over'? Or how they have made you a victim? Or is that simply another delusion?

It seems you are upset that Apple makes money and that is all you are upset about. Get over it.

OH GOOD.

We've distilled this to the "they're overpriced" argument.

So here's how we end it.

I say that you don't know the definition of the word 'overpriced'. You say enlighten me. I say if Apple products were overpriced, no one would buy them. As millions of people buy them in all forms, they are not overpriced.

Then you say that's not what I meant; I meant that Apple could sell their stuff for much less money and still be making a profit. And then I end it by reiterating that you're unfamiliar with the concepts inherent to capitalism, primarily that consumers dictate prices. If consumers did not feel that Apple products were worth the money they spent on them, they would not be purchased at their current prices. That's how this whole system works.

Then you fail to rebut it by saying that it's wrong for Apple to sell products at prices extortionately higher than at which they can afford to sell them. To which I reply, yes, it is; another example of which being the corn industry selling corn products at 1000% cost because people and many other companies are (basically) forced to buy corn products for their multitude of purposes. Another example would be a home Internet provider having plans at twice or 3x cost plus a comfortable profit, because they'd get away with it as we basically have monopolies on phone and home Internet service in this country.

But I finish my reply by stating that Apple is not only an example of neither of these instances, but exists outside this example entirely. As Apple products are not required for life (as corn is... you'd be surprised how much crap corn is in) or has become a standard in quality of living (as home telephony is; the Internet's secondary but useful to mention in the example). Apple products are a luxury item. They are not required for life or expected for comfort. Those who buy them know their price and expect quality from them equivalent to their perception of said price.

As a dozen other computer manufacturers exist, one is not forced to buy Apple products for any reason at any time, and as such can purchase from another company if they so choose, particularly if they believe that another company will be receiving a smaller profit margin on each item purchased than from Apple.

Now go away, silly troll, and take your styrofoam arguments with you.

No, Apple's walled garden is a fact. You are spouting some bizarre claims of Apple fucking you, but you can't back it up. How did they make you a victim? How did they fuck you over?

If you can't answer simple questions about your fantasy claims, please just go away.

WOW. That's simply poetic. I love this.

As profound as that sounds, it's not nearly as prodigious as your inability to formulate arguments beyond your original, incorrect point.

Though your ability to completely ignore arguments when you've unequivocally lost is impressive.

And sometimes a fool is just a fool. Did you set out to prove that point? Well done.
