The Manhattan Declaration sounds douchey. They still have free bibles and korans in the app store, though.

[exlude]

Yeah, don't care.

[Lason]

Yeah, don't care.

Whether you think it sounds douchey or not, that's not the point.

If you don't care then exclude yourself from the thread.

They can carry or not carry an app based on ideological reasons. Domino's main charity for years was right to life, and so what? You're getting your panties in a twist because they've quit carrying something that you agreed with, and felt passionately about, but ultimately isn't your call.

Then what is the point?

LOL I'm not getting my panties in a wad by any means, if it's based on ideologies, then it's political. Did I not post it in the correct forum?

I posted it cause some do care and see past the "douchery" of it, so if you don't care, great and good for you. LOL

OMG YOU SO WITTY. Illiterate, but witty.

You made a thread about it, so nice try. I'll go ahead and elaborate now. It's douchey because it presumes some sort of ideological social supremacy, like somehow what works for you works for me, and everyone else. Ultimately, attempting to legislate based on moral relativism tends to be unwieldy, extremely problematic, and unfair. Take abortion. Was there a legitimate need for it? Maybe, maybe not, but it was unfair, because if you were rich, you could fly to Puerto Rico and get the procedure. Believe it or not, there was even a time when mere advocation of birth control could get you arrested in certain states. Was that reasonable? No. Finally, let's look at same-sex marriage. You obviously don't support it. Here's all you should be allowed to do about that: Disown your gay friends, family, and coworkers. It's not fair at all to say you're entitled to your relative morality and say others aren't.

Doesn't affect me at all. I don't use any Apple products and have no issues against gays.

[Denny]

It's a cheese-dick move on Apple's part, but I couldn't care less.

I couldn't agree with you more, very well said.

I bet they wouldn't dare pull the "sharia law" app though.
