This is basically a subsidy for McDonalds. If the only way a company can be rich is by subsidies, maybe it shouldn't exist in the "free market".

Wasn't he a Russian puppet?

Pushing the leading edge of phone design opens new use cases, it's not always just about "doing the same shit, slightly faster"

It's about creating new shit that runs at the same speed.

It's nice, but most people will not vote green. People would rather burn than change a single thing about their behavior, habits, and consumption.

These are pie in the sky plans. I thought he was going to come up with a technical solution.

Ah, I'm on kbin. For some reason, I don't see you were responding to somebody else. Guess some context was lost.

The only peaceful religion is Jainism, but they are all outdated attempts at explaining the world and thus wrong.

Displace those people who have even less than us on another continent where we can't see or hear their suffering while we buy the next iPhone.

I bet you these people will keep buying new phones and things made from what's gained from the mines.

Nowhere did I say "All muslims are OK with marrying girls at 10 years of age". In Western culture, not everybody wants to have a heterosexual relationship, a Christian wedding, get a kid(s), a house, a pet, and send the man off to work while the wife stays at home. It is the dominant culture however. Pointing out that it is a thing, isn't judgement on every single person in every single Western country worldwide.

I was pointing out hypocrisy. No need to get your panties in a bunch because in this case it involved somebody who you consider not to be in power. They are human, they can be hypocrites too. Doesn't matter if they're a minority in their country.

What do you mean "islamophobic pitforks"? These were Islamic groups that were involved. That it's accepted in Islamic culture to wed off a girl as soon as she bleeds is no more "islamophobic" that saying the sun can give you cancer. Not everybody will hand over their daughter to be wed as soon as she bleeds, no more than the sun will give you cancer as soon as you step into it.
Point the hypocrisy out between "she bleeds, she may be wed" and "sexual education is hypersexualisation" is not "islamophobic".

You're just looking to have the moral highground. "see guys, I told that dude he's an islamophobe, where are my upvotes?"

Also, not everything is globally recognized as pedophilia. Just because in your Western (American?) brain it has been taught so, doesn't mean that it is so to everybody.
