Well scientifically there are 3 races of humans, but I'm not going to argue the point with you.

Discrimination is discrimination, no matter who the target minority group is. And it's not like gay people aren't beaten and killed simply for being gay.

Which, mind you, is perfectly legal in most states, for a boss to fire you due to your personal beliefs -- or any reason really that doesn't put you into a protected class.

...even be having this conversation if he donated money to the KKK?

Yeah, exactly. Nothing to see here. Show it to me happening in real time with common easily obtainable equipment and maybe then you'll get my attention. But not with a lot of maybe's, perhaps, and coulds.

Half-truths and misinformation. Nothing to see here folks, move on.

The problem isn't the people that OD, it's the people that become long-term addicts. Cause they can be anyone -- your neighbor, your kid's teacher, some guy driving behind you. You create an entire underclass of people that are continually addicted to pain pills, no different than those addicted to meth, who will do anything for their next fix. These people are far more dangerous than those that just OD and die.

Getting all these poor people addicted to your high-potency opioids is SURELY going to make their lives better! Oh, and fatten your wallet. The latter being the most important part.

Let's also get rid of GPSs, radios, smoking, DVD players, and passengers, because they too are a distraction. And while we're at it, let's get rid of speedometers and speed limits, cause every time someone has to look down to ensure they're doing the speed limit they obviously do not have their eyes on the road.

Pish... everyone knows Steve did everything and Woz was just there to reel in the hippy nerds? Geez, haven't you learned anything from Apple's revisionist history?

if Apple will sue the USPS for copyright infringement? Cause we all know Steve created the first postage stamp and I'm sure Apple has a patent for it somewhere.

Bitch is worth $20+ billion. $158 million is what, like a half a day's pay? It's chump change for a Walton. Want to be a real humanitarian? Spend some of those billions ensuring your workers earn a living wage so their kids don't have to live in poverty while they're not attending one of your fancy expensive charter schools.

Is the moon kosher???

Well I'm not going to continue to argue with you since you're clearly insistent on being obstinate.

When the can of Heinz beans goes from being made in America to being made in Mexico and is called Ole Beans, guess what? It's still Heinz beans. The fact they're called something else and made somewhere else doesn't mean the technology, talent, patents, recipe, etc. of the Heinz product ceases to exist simply because it's made somewhere else. The same is true of IBM PCs. They live on in the form of Lenovo. I don't know why that's so difficult for you to understand. But whatever, no point in continuing to argue about it. Believe whatever you makes you happy.

And you never answered my question in regard to the iPod hypothetical. Because according to you, the iPods that are made by Foxconn (using Apple-designed tech) in Foxconn factories are Apple products because they say Apple, but would be Foxconn products if they said Foxconn, despite the devices being exactly the same. That of course makes no sense. If Foxconn bought the division from Apple, and continued to use Apple's designs, and made them the same way they used to make them but called them Foxconn iPods, they'd still be exactly the same device, just owned by someone else with a different name on them. So again, it makes no sense, as the technology behind the product, that's the core of the product, is still Apple tech. It's no different from Lenovo. They make PCs based upon the technology, patents, and architecture they bought from IBM. There is no difference in the product. The only difference is who owns the division.

It's all irrelevant anyway, because even if you exclude IBM, Schiller is still wrong.

But you realize a label is just a label, and is otherwise meaningless, right? Most Apple products are made by Foxconn, in Foxconn factories, by Foxconn workers, using mostly Foxconn parts and then an Apple label is slapped on it and shipped to the US. Not really much different than having your products made by Lenovo, in Lenovo factories, by Lenovo workers. The only difference is the label. Fun fact, Lenovo did indeed keep the IBM label for 3 years after buying the division. So the only difference between those products made by the IBM division of Lenovo and the ones made today by the IBM division of Lenovo is the label. Which doesn't in any way negate the pedigree of the product.

If Apple sold their iPod division to Foxconn, who continued to make and sell iPods, would it be any different if they had an Apple label or Foxconn label on them if they were otherwise made with the exact same parts at the exact same factory by the exact same workers? In case you're struggling for the answer, it's "no".
