Samsung Galaxy S2 has better picture quality anyway :v:
Don't do it Syria! Apple will sue the hell out of you!
Their anti-government chants are so catchy!
Yeah, that's just fueling the prosterstors cause.
Yeah because when Libya cracked down on civilian communications it went so well. Oh wait.
And nothing of value was lost.
You can't stop the people. Trying to stop them just results in horrid death and destruction, which act as fuel for their cause.

I find it sickening that you care more about a product you dislike being banned then the lives and freedom of a people.
I find it strange they banned only iPhones, why no Android, Symbian or Windows Phone based devices?

The rest of the world should follow their example

You are effectively saying that you want to limit people's freedom not only in what phone they want to buy but their freedom to walk in the street without the worry of being raped or killed by their own government.
It wasn't the protesters that brought down the Assad regime It wasn't the rebels, or the UN, or the Arab League In the end, it was the lawsuits

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;33551140]Is this you by any chance? [IMG]http://www.terrariaonline.com/attachments/nofun-jpg.2703/?embedded=1[/IMG][/QUOTE]So I guess I hate fun right? I just got back from playing a little bit of the new Assassin's Creed game and I found it quite fun. On the topic of fun it is quite a subjective thing, no? I mean I could find fun in killing puppies or stealing old ladies money or posting dumb image macros. How would you feel if I walked into a android thread created in a similar manor to this and started making jokes? How would you feel? My guess ticked off but none of that will matter because if you dare accuse me of being rude I can just claim you are ruining my fun and get off scott fee. I guess it boils down to what we all find fun and if that fun means agreeing with a tyrannical government so be it. I can't stop you but hey I sure can try. [QUOTE=Fatal-Error;33551926]Huh, that sounds just like Apple.[/QUOTE] Are you really comparing the freedom to live a normal life without of constant fear of death to picking one phone over the other?
They should ban all apple products :v:

Obviously by saying that nothing of value was lost due to iphones being banned in their country, totally means I want that country to torture and rape it's citizens. That's exactly what I meant.
[QUOTE=orgornot;33554118]They should ban all apple products :v:[/QUOTE] Yeah that'll go down well
[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;33564865]Yeah that'll go down well[/QUOTE] Who even uses their desktops/laptops anyway? I doubt it would affect many people at all.
My god this thread is just swarming with retards. Grow a fucking brain you biased fanboys.
[QUOTE=Paravin;33565897]My god this thread is just swarming with retards. Grow a fucking brain you biased fanboys.[/QUOTE] What, what are you even talking about? I don't see any fanboys anywhere?
