I think it's absolute bollocks that 99% of successful people are cunts. Certainly judging from this place 99% of utter failures at life are also cunts.
Perhaps it's simply that 99% of people are cunts full stop. -

I was going to say 'cost', i.e. the more it costs the more likely it probably wasn't made with child slave labour or something but Apple have kinda ruined that point!
Is there some sort of certification program for tech goods? Something that tells the consumer this product wasn't made by the hands of suicidal kids in cramped factories. -

You agree then. -
Not really tbh, I think most people are ok. -

But is kalel successful or an utter failure? It is the only way we will know for sure!

No idea. Perhaps we ought to ask him to post his CV? -
I was only joking about 99% of all people, but I do think that the majority of highly successful rich people are cunts. I'm sure many may be lovely to speak to but the fact is that the richest 10% of people in the world hold 85% of the worlds wealth. This, in my eyes, makes people a cunt. -

This. Quite scary to think that some of the people in this thread are adults. -
Maybe a new paragraph would have helped but the second sentence was more in regards to the standard Apple hipsters responses rather than the topic. -

No, provided you've got a gold toilet of course. -
It most certainly is in a capitalist society. -

There is no greater success than the dissolute offspring of a wealthy person. Watch as they bluster about the world, being unpleasant to working folks, committing date rapes and squandering their fortune.
Makes me quite misty-eyed. -
I never said that I wasn't a cunt myself though, I'd love to have the dedication and motivation to be a commie or a relatively humane person but I'm not. Christ, I just ordered a Samsung Galaxy S2 which is probably the most needless piece of expensive tat going and I assume several Chinese children died whilst making it.
I'd love to be in the position to be able to give away a large proportion of my money and assets but I don't really have any. I'd like to think that if I was worth $400 million like Bono then I'd give most of it away rather than preaching at everyone else to, but if I had that much then I'd almost certainly be a cunt. -

This. I won't buy something if I disagree with the business practices/ethics of the company who produce it. It's sad that more people don't have a similar view, because buying their shit regardless is effectively condoning their behaviour. -
When you say disagree with I assume you mean disagree with what is heavily publicised in the press because I will bet the remainder of my Frijj milkshake (seriousbusiness) that you own a ton of shit that is produced or connected with questionable companies. -
I'm going to start an unethical fund. It'll make a fortune.
Fags, arms companies, puveryors and facilitators of human misery...

This.

Stop assuming other people don't care in order to justify your own apathy. "Everybody else does it!" is the worst defence ever, tbf.
Take some responsibility.
