"This idea that we should all be the same person is twisted and wrong and actively harmful."
... and it's a chip on your shoulder, not mine.
"Apple didn't have applications. Nobody cared. "
That's not so.
"You don't like Apple?"
I never said that.
"Go buy other phones."
I do.
Seriously, you got from "Delaying some applications randomly for three month or more is a bad business practice, it pisses people off" all the way over to "the great Stanley Kubrick and Ayn Rand were dictatorial and unfair and look how awesome they were"
Bottom line, you're a ranting about things that I didn't say, which is rather sad. It gives your views a bad name. And gives Ayn Rand's fans more of a bad name, if that's possible.
Maybe you didn't state your ideas very clearly, because all that you said was "Well, somebody taught us that fairness and equality was good, so it's fine to complain about Apple's store that's less than a year old." That sort of pompous statement completely deserves a response like the one I gave.
The Ayn Rand-bashing is stupid. Rand, like most people, is right about a lot and wrong about a lot. She's just more polarizing than others. Just as following her gospel verbatim isn't always the healthiest approach to life, dismissing her and the possibility that her ideas hold merit is similarly a waste of time.
Actually I suspect that some expectation of equal treatment to applicants is a basic part of human nature. Innate, not taught. I never intended to say taught.
Something being new does not in itself excuse it being bad. if the owner confesses to teething troubles, that would be a start.
I don't think that misunderstanding a statement (and I see that by voting consensus it's not seen as well-phrased) deserves anyone to get on their tangentially-related hobby horse and froth at the mouth.
You're right that Ayn Rand-bashing is stupid. Far too easy a target. But you brought it into the conversation. Why you did that, I will never know. If your aim was to make a point not related to her, you're better off not mentioning her. If your point is to promote her, I'm not interested.
