AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA You mean the place in which we’re still fighting?
Who either died in December 2001 or was killed much earlier. But I’m sure Obama held the gun to his head himself.
If by -ned you mean “brought under government ownership companies that should have been allowed to fail-ned”.
And hasn’t that just worked out swimmingly¡
The strongest economy on the continent and the force that kept the Islamic State at bay in his country, just like in Iraq and Syria. No, I don’t support dictatorships; I support the US not giving a flying fish about any country but itself.
And yet the student loan bubble grew all through the recession. Gee.
Good job, getting the entire western world to agree to bail-ins! Won’t that work out well when everyone has their balances stolen¡
You mean the VA scandals? That’s support?
Hooray for brownouts!
This is the definition of the opposite of a good thing.
In what capacity?
Because if there’s one thing we need, it’s less security.
Doing a bang up job of it, aren’t they¡
What was unfair before?
Solyndra, what a great investment¡
Funny, because I seem to remember absolutely nothing whatsoever happening with the price of college other than it continuing to increase.
There is no such thing as a hate crime, hate speech, or any of the related terms.
When am I expected to see these changes?
In favor of the ludicrously overpriced and worthless F-35! What a splendid way to end a list!
I guess you are one of those nut jobs who will be pulling up at the White House with a gun to attack POTUS, seems to me you are in that camp anyway jeez
One can make valid points on both sides of that issue, but unless you're black you have no say in the matter. Go back to whistling Dixie and you won't have to hear it.
So, using this logic, descendancy allows you to comment on an issue.
Well, I have verified Indian descent. Cherokee, in fact! AKA the ones Jackson tossed across the country.
Guess what? It's in the past! I don't hate America because of it. I don't demand reparations. I don't demand that any monuments to Jackson be destroyed! (I'd like to see him come off the $20 because he was a crappy President and we have better people who belong there).
Moral standards? You mean that so-called religion you believe in that hides and protects child molesters from prosecution, and allows it to continue? Last time I checked, fighting for equal rights and same-sex partners in a relationship was not a crime. Every time I open the App Store or iTunes Store, I never see LGBT pride plastered everywhere. So you have given a lousy example with your so-called "moral standards" religion crap. Your religion and the Catholic religion have been molesting children for decades, and then using their BS excuse of a religion to pretend it is okay with fake forgiveness. By the way, if you are so offended by same-sex partners, you should stop buying Apple products since Tim Cook is proud to be a gay man.
Go easy on him. Perhaps he's just confused by targeted gay ads following him around the internet.
This is ridiculous. Who decides what's offensive? Are they gonna ban football (NFL) apps because they mention Redskins?
Why not? That's pretty offensive. If you're going down this slippery sloop, then this is another good one to BAN!!! Any Apps or Games with Redskins needs to be banned. The whole Indian with the Tomahawk, that symbol should be banned along with it. My High School had one in it's gym!!! Come on Apple, to be FAIR you need it take it all the way. Otherwise you're just jumping on the bandwagon with everyone else like a Politician. Say a lot and really in the end do nothing!!!
The LGBT Pride flag plastered all over iTunes and the App Store each month is offensive to me and other Christians, yet Tim Cook won't support our moral standards.

Well Apple clarified their stance. Historical apps and games are ok. Apps using the flag to be offensive are out. I would presume something like doom and nazis would be ok given the use of the swastica are it intended to offend but entertain through horror elements.

As usual the over reaction here is predictable and usually involves the same people.
People like you are living in the past destined to forever stay stuck wishing after a so called freedom loving utopia that never actually existed, when you die the United States will have moved on populated by a mix of races that you and you ilk detest and no one will be there to help you , sad
I can't believe we have so many hateful people in the Apple fan base now. My how things have changed from the old days of the desktop publishing an artistic community.
I guess I'm just a liberal, at least according to the Merriam-Webster definition.

I thought Apple was a liberal company that supported free speech and First Amendment rights. Should Apple next remove any apps that reference the Bible since some people find the bible offensive?</div></div><p> </p>
Come on you know perfectly well that shouting "fire" in a crowed theatre is banned. Use of the flag amount to the same thing and you know that perfectly well. So stop being an ass! so people finding the Bible offensive really, even if the do which is not true the Bible it doesn't generally cause uneducated children in adult bodies to go around shooting people! unless they are completely insane
That's bullshit. I'm sure there are a lot of people that find the US flag offensive. Should Apple ban that too?

Your position is stupid. As an individual I support your right to be stupid, but I also have the right to call you on your stupid comments so your assertion that you have the right not to be judged on your words and actions is hosrseshit. You have the right to say that you find a gay pride flag to be an offense and that those people should be rounded up and killed, and you also have the right to wave the confederate flag and say the same thing about "non-whites," but you are a fool if you think that you get anything you want simply because you feel pained by its existence.
The crux of this issue isn't that individuals don't have the right to wave a Confederate flag, but that a gov't was flying that flag. There should be no Confederate, Christian, or gay pride flags represented by any government. What these companies are doing — and have the right to do — is remove anything they see as hateful. Unfortunately most are simply falling to peer pressure because it's currently not good for their business model. That's fine. They have that right, just as you have the right to not buy from them or buy items from that you personally feel is offensive, but it doesn't end the bigotry that the both your beliefs and the Confederate flag stem.

Passed the opposite, actually.

YEP.
Read comments.
Healthcare has finally arrived in the U.S. That's a positive (r)evolution.
I don't know if your profile means Berlin Germany or not. The problem with healthcare in the U.S. is no where near being fixed.

Your old system already has been doing that quite well already dude, it's already broken
Won't be long before the Gadsden flag is banned, then of course any imagery that doesn't glorify the state.
That's bullshit. I'm sure there are a lot of people that find the US flag offensive. Should Apple ban that too?
Why don't you go over to Are Technica. You'll find many of the same comments that have been posted here. Are those posters over reacting too?
Yes
