Countries on Apple's list where they execute homosexuals:
– Uganda
– Nigeria
– Qatar
– Saudi Arabia

Here are the 10 countries where homosexuality may be punished by death - The Washington Post

How is selling to countries/people which/who execute homosexuals "never tolerating discrimination?"

So when does the massive boycott of Apple begin? Or is everyone complaining about Indiana's law just a bunch of disgustingly opportunistic hypocrites?

So Apple is NOT discriminating. That's a good thing since they don't like discrimination, don't you think?

IC you could post this again and again and again. It won't matter to those who only support FREEDOMS that they deem appropriate to their personal agendas.

Liberal Gay Agenistic psychophants will never admit that.

He's clearly a hypocrite and a liar.

Do I think that others should hold other countries to the same standard as we hold ours? No, I do not. IMO the best way to change a country like S.A. is to import more and more of our way of life.

Just don't say you aren't going to do business with those who support discrimination against gays.

Apple should have the FREEDOM to do business with whomever they choose.

So does the US government. Do you think that the US government supports those executions?
Oil companies do business with those countries, are they supporting those executions?
You buy gas, do you support those executions?

Buying or selling a product does not mean that you support nor endorse everything that is involved with that product, like selling a cake does not mean that you are supporting the event the cake is for.

The purpose? The public good?

Equality.

"One nation, UNDER GOD, with Liberty and Justice FOR ALL".


See, FOR ALL.



All should have the liberty to shop and purchase services anywhere they choose.

It's pretty simple, really.

Nope it's not a good thing. It's obvious you do, so now we understand that you support Apple's sanction of these countries to execute homosexuals.

Governments do finance businesses, in all sorts of ways. (Obviously, yes). Local governments, down to the city, offer programs for business. So locals are likely to have a hand in financing said business. If you allow your community (all of them) to help you make a go of your enterprise, then you don't get to pick and choose who you serve, because of a person's immutable characteristics. Like being black. Or White. Or in a wheelchair. Or wanting a cake for their legal marriage, just like everyone else.

Being Black or White is ethnic; wheelchair is a physical issue and has absolutely nothing to do with sex, or religion.

How far are you willing to let the government law interfere with your life?

Atheist only conducting business with other atheist, well we'll just have to see what the 'law' has to say about that and government finance.

Since when did Apple run the government of those countries? You seem think Tim Cook has more power than he holds. Apple sells tech stuff, they don't run governments of countries.
