People suck. Mac users doubly so. That is all.

Oh my God! With so many people still having to fight for their rights in this country, I can't believe you're going to sit there and demonize a group of people for the type of computer they use!

You've got gays, blacks and women STILL trying to fend off stereotypes and here you are propagating a whole new stereotype. Jerk.

Of course I'm serious. I'm just REALLY tired of being the butt of everyone's jokes just because I use a MAC. It just really pisses me off.

Blacks? Blacks you xenophobic hate-mongering fascist? Blacks? What is this? The Old South? Slap them in chains and lead some spirituals while your at it! Why not "Negros" or "blackies" or just cut right to the chase and revert to "slaves."

And are you trying to say that women aren't capable of throwing off a stereotype? What, are they the "weaker sex" to you? Too "fair and motherly" to fight for their own rights? What, do you have to fight their battles for them? It's that kind of misogynistic bull-crap that oppresses the women of the world. You should be ashamed of yourself.

And who the hell are you to propagate the concept of a "gay stereotype?" Gays, if you must call them that, are just like everyone else. Why even single them out as a group. The identification of a group of people is what begins the reification process. From there it goes to isolation (sometimes in ghettos) and then the camps. Way to go. Break out the xyclon B while you're at it.

God I'm an asshole.

Yes you are!

Macs (as in MacOSX, not crap prior to that) are nice, their users... not so much. :P

I only saw a mac once in my lifetime. Just in an office. Perhaps that explains why they suck
