Not just for being gay.

But, hey, if you support executing people just because they're gay, Apple products are for you!

Here's my whole post, again. Context is everything.

Do you have a presence in America?

Why do you support the execution of innocent Americans?

It's disgusting that you speak out against the execution of innocent people in other countries, while staying silent and tacitly agreeing with the execution of innocent Americans.

How can you say buying an Apple product is worse than executing Americans?

Just for being what, then?

What part of America executes innocent people don't you understand?

If you weren't a hypocrite, you wouldn't live in the only Western developed country that still executes innocent citizens.

U.S. Total Crude Oil and Products Imports
So, you are only 13.7% hypocritical, is that it?

<<<snicker>>>

It's pretty simple... If you oppose the execution of gays just because they're gay, don't buy/use Apple products. Tim Cook and Apple have consistently refused to condemn the execution of gays in the countries in which they do business, but take it upon themselves to pathetically mewl about a sales/service regulation.

How many Apple products do you own/use?

You can't prove a negative. What you and everyone else needs to do is provide a link that shows Apple CEO Tim Cook publicly condemned the execution of gays just because they're gay in the countries in which Apple does business.

Have at it. Provide any public condemnation of the execution of gays made by Tim Cook.

But you've continually spoken out against the execution of gays in other countries, while not condemning the execution of gays or straights in your own. Yet you mewl about people buying iPhones. You are American, right?

Every minute you live in America, you tacitly support the execution of PEOPLE in the US.

Why won't you condemn the US, as you condemn others?

Are you a hypocrite?

Why won't you answer the question? It's pretty simple.

How is buying an Apple product worse than supporting the execution of innocent Americans?

Why are you changing the goalposts? Tim Cook explicitly condemned the alleged discrimination against gays in an Indiana sales/service regulation, but COMPLETEY NEGLECTS to condemn the execution of gays just because they're gay in the countries in which Apple does business.

But, hey, if you support executing people just because they're gay, Apple products are for you!

Pathetic.

You explicitly condemn the execution of gays in other countries, while completely neglecting to condemn the executions of innocent POEOPLE in your own country.

Do you do business in America? If so, you're no better than anyone else, Tim Cook, Apple users, me, cake bakers and gay activists alike.

Busted. Buh bye.
