Steve Jobs believed it was better to be apolitical. I agree. But, even with Steve not endorsing these things some Freepers hated him.
So now someone endorses and they hate him too.
Plus, Microsoft has all sorts of support groups and perks for gays at Microsoft. Microsoft fully supports the lifestyle. ...Freepers conveniently disregard because they don’t want to be without a computer.
You seem obtuse to the fact that many just buy tools that work and prefer not to join a faddish cult when doing so. I will never buy a Datsun for that reason, execrable marketing identification. I will not be identified with such a flakey group.
That MS has lots of homos has little to do with anything. It is not a central part of their identity, or I should say, of their cult. But, if there is such a thing as a MS cult, I sure as heck have never noticed it.
Most users tacitly hate them with their endless updates, etc. They just want to use the damn things, not masturbate over the next OS release.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t recall Microsoft getting mixed up in political battles. The perks they provide to certain employees is their own business, and as long as they don’t try to force others to do the same I’m fine with it.
“Plus, Microsoft has all sorts of support groups and perks for gays at Microsoft. Microsoft fully supports the lifestyle. ...Freepers conveniently disregard because they don’t want to be without a computer.”
That’s not all. Gates also supports globul warming lies and mass sterilization:
Bill Gates EXPOSED! Wants Depopulation Through Vaccines [CO2/Global Warming Excuse For Depopulation]

Do you think we should tell FReepers that Gates embraces Gestapo views?
I hate Microsoft too. Seriously looking at Linux, but the question for most people will be "which does the most damage to my cause? Using a Microsoft product, or not using a computer at all?"
I think the benefits we gain from using a computer, offsets the damage we do by using a Microsoft product. It would be desirable to get the computing benefits without supporting Microsoft, but that is an unrealistic approach for most people.
Yep, Steve Jobs kept it that way for Apple, as he was about selling product. And even with Apple doing this ... as far as I’m concerned ... I’m buying product and the BEST PRODUCT on the market. I will NOT have my political votes mixed up with getting the BEST PRODUCT on the market.
If there are any conservative who think that they can build a better product and beat Apple at selling to the public ... THEN GET TO IT! Until then, I don’t care!
I’ll buy a used car or a new car from a flaming fag, if he has the best deal around for me! I’ll buy a cake, at a bakery from a Muslim, if their cakes are the best around (at least within a reasonable driving distance ... LOL ...). I’ll get my gasoline from an owner of a gas station that HATES JESUS and cusses him out, if he has gas that is convenient and good for me.
For example, I get gasoline from QuikTrip in Tulsa and it’s “Top Tier Gasoline” which is the only kind I’ll buy for my car. And their prices are the best, in general and they’re also within reasonable distance. That owner might be a flaming fag and he might donate to all the fag organizations in the world — and I don’t know and I don’t care! I’m buying gasoline and not a political party ... LOL ...
I’ll get the BEST AROUND for my money ... and then I’ll DONATE MONEY to organizations that are the BEST TO DONATE TO.
If anyone wants a list of the BEST to donate money to ... I gave y’all a list in my previous post! See Post #114!
