>way beyond that
By quoting Luther King? I'm having a hard time seeing what you find wrong here.
- Simon_says 9y agoThere's a bunch of stuff to choose from, but I'll just pick one at random. He said: "we are all equal". Though we all should be treated equally under the law, and we all deserve equal protections for certain things, as a point of fact, we are not all equal.
- RandVal30142 9y agoOh gosh golly I can see why you got riled up over such a massive issue like that line. Tell me more.
- Simon_says 9y agoJust reread Cook's speech with an eye towards what statements there is not a 99+% consensus on. Those are the political statements. I'm an Apple developer, shareholder, and end-user, and I don't want Cook making political statements.
- Sangermaine 9y ago>Just reread Cook's speech with an eye towards what statements there is not a 99+% consensus on. The statement you quoted is one such statement. It's hard to tell if you're being sincere, because what you pointed to as an example of a political statement is utterly baffling.
- Simon_says 9y agoIf you think 99% of people agree with that, you're living in a bubble.
- matthewmacleod 9y agoThat's exactly what it fucking means. "We are all equal" obviously, clearly means "we are all entitled to equal treatment", not "there are literally no differences between any two people."
- Simon_says 9y agoMotte and Bailey argument. If that's what Cook meant he could have written that. He wanted to have it both ways.
- willstrafach 9y agoI agree with your interpretation and don't actually understand how this bit is even a sensible thing to nitpick.
