Buzz Out Loud Lounge forum: APPLE IS EVIL!

So how exactly were The Beatles "evil" and how is Apple "evil" for using a song and showing what is presumably the *original* album artwork?

Most of The Beatles, if not all were "evil." As I have already said, In their album cover of Sgt. Pepper, Aleister Crowley is shown second from the left in the top row, Aleister Crowley was the minister of The Church Of Satan, you believed and practiced animal and human sacrifices and other disgusting practices of Satanism.

MORE PROOF!

Hi, I'm the moderator for CNET's podcast forums and I lock threads that are personally offensive, demonstrably illegal, closed discussions, or annoying. This thread is a bit strange but does not warrant locking.

BTW did you notice I mentioned personal insults as unacceptable..?

no, there is not a problem with as you say "having disregards of a company because they support something I do not believe in?" And so, consider putting your money where your mouth is... It seems to me that to pursue your interest you should adjust your consumer behavior (i.e. not buy Apple products or services) and/or take up your grievances through the court of law.

Be aware, corporations don't exactly have a moral compass (or at least not a stable one). I'm not sure if that was the intent either when the "corporation" was allowed to exist in the U.S.

I gotta say though, your original post reminds me of apartment neighbors arguing loudly at the wee hours of the morning about each others' loud music or something similar. It isn't compelling presentation of material to take much (if any) interest in.

Best,

My thread is about promotion that Apple has done. I am trying to discuss whether people see Apple as an evil corporation or an angel of one. I'm not trying to bash anyone and I have not done so yet in any manner and don't intend to.
I would like to know why there are so tight of restriction on these forums? Forums are a way for people to discuss matters instead of having to give out our phone numbers and it is a more preferable choice than having to email people over and over again.
I have not used any language in which today's society would consider fowl, I have not been threatening in any form.
So will you please explain in further detail why my concerns are not as important and worthy to these forums?

Yes, I do understand that by me giving money to Apple, I am endorsing their promotion of whatever it is that they are trying to sell. It can be hard to resist buying something if you really only care about having things for yourself. I'm not saying thaT everything you buy for yourself is evil, I'm saying that me buying these necessities, along with anyone else, they are endorsing an evil corporation that apparently has no moral beliefs whatsoever. And that includes the $200 iPhone price drop within 2 months!

The only way to show my disgust for what Apple is doing is what many people did when John Lennon stated that they are more popular than Jesus, tons of people revolted, INLUDING the radio stations. They set up designated areas to break and discard of all of their records and merch. I should break my ipod and send it back to Apple, which is, I'm sad to say, an iPod Touch. I cannot give it to anybody as Apple will not fully understand the situation if I just write them a letter.
It seems that the technology world controls us now instead of us being in control of the technology. The technology doesn't have to physically be able to hold us down, like robots and all, but in a way, it has greatly overcome us as humans. We are the rats that beg to be treated 'with the latest technological gadgets.'

Seems to be a religious issue and this is a tech forum, but we've gone off topic before. So, I'm not saying this is unwelcome and you're free to continue to discuss and try to change people's minds. However, you might be better served going to a religion forum where you may find more consensus. Then again, you're seeking debate, I supppose.

That's some interesting logic you've got there, though.

I believe that this forum goes beyond just technology, it invloves music as well. BOL starts out with music and they have talked about the music industry and it being evil, I'm just giving some examples.
Yes, I am saying The Beatles were of the evil sort. If anyone owns Sgt. Pepper, they can look inside of the album booklet and see a black and white shot of the Sgt. Pepper cover about to be shot, and off to the side is Hitler, of course he's not real, but they were gatherings setups of their heroes and Hitler was one of them. Apparently The Beatles were told that it wouldn't be such a great idea to put Hitler on the album cover as too many people knew him and what he's done.

sorry all, but i meant steve jobs, not bill gates.

Aleister Crowley was a minister at The Church Of Satan, he worshipped the demon God Pan, which his "Hymn to Pan" was read at his funeral, which I can show you if you want.
