Paul Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 you want a cookie? still not backing off, if you did all that and didn't know who the front man behind Apple was, you missed class. I didn't care who the front of apple was!! Do you know who the front of Johnson and Johnson is? Proctor and Gamble? No? Why not? Those are some of the biggest multinational companies in the world? The only reason you know Steve Jobs is because you bought into apples hype machine. Let's not pretend its because you follow the markets lol. Steve was part of the advertising strategy, something I never laid attention to. I'm sure I saw his face on tv or in a newspaper but because I don't care I would have turned the page.

aed05 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 u got it u know the pickings are mighty slim around these parts Yes I got it, and I'm sure it has a mind of its own. But at a certain time, you need to put it back in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do follow the markets sorry boo, maybe you need to recheck my facebook, plenty of NPR and even the BBC, I know the dow jones is based off of 30 companies, most of which were industrial but are not as relevant now, I know the highest the markets as far as the dow is concerned was over 14k back in 2007. Honey you really need to do your research before you come for me. I may lack in some areas, but book smarts is not one of them have a \_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 and I still say if you didn't know who Steve Jobs was that's like not every hearing about the Iphone he only presented it at EVERY SINGLE Apple conference introducing it while the world covered it.

Paul Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 You missed my point. And I didn't watch any apple conferences introducing new products. If you followed the markets that closely and were that smart you wouldn't be at nursing school telling white folks you were going to steal their iPads.

bu. Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 I didn't know what the World Trade Centre was until the planes had been flown into them. So I'm not surprised people won't know who Steve Jobs was until he died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you followed the markets that closely and were that smart you wouldn't be at nursing school telling white folks you were going to steal their iPads. this kinda thing never surprises me here, when folks lose at an argument they go the personal attack route and there you are taking it. You couldn't engage me in a debate without attacking me personally and more importantly what you said makes no sense at all. I got into nursing school because I wanted to, on my first application, 1 of 7 out of over 150 that cycle to do so, the first Black male admitted to the program ever. And the Ipad was a fucking joke if you thought otherwise you're shit was still weak. Not backing down you didn't know who Steve Jobs was yet you're informed.....sit down.

I don't understand why you had to attack me personally because you didn't know who he was? Is that what it's come to in your world Paul, this shady schtick you seem to carry on? Just attack the person that wins right? And I will not even bother defending my schooling I can assure I have more education than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 You didn't win anything? How can you tell imply that someone is misinformed and doesn't follow the markets and unintelligent because they don't know who Steve jobs was before they died? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you tell imply that someone is misinformed and doesn't follow the markets and unintelligent because they don't know who Steve jobs was before they died? I never claimed to "win" once again it's not about that, I said on here that's what people do attack who they perceive as winning in something that was never a fight maybe in some simple sense to someone else it is, see who can shade the other the most, who can produce a flood of +1's for saying something witty. My point and only point of contention was really a question, how in the world does someone not living in a Chinese village of 20 residents without running water nor electricity not have any idea who Steve Jobs was? More importantly you do now, and that's what matters not the minus three four you got for not knowing him, but the fact you came in this thread and have the privilege of leaving more informed than you were when you entered it. Now on that note this is the last I intend to engage you on this matter. Have a good day bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 "just attacking the person that WINS" Anyway, I didn't know who Steve Jobs was and have you ever thought that while he might have been a big deal in the USA it's possible that he wasn't known much in the UK outside of apple product fans?

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Did I say that I wait in line for a phone? I was specifically talking about the idiots that do. Waiting in line for a phone is not the same as waiting in line for a concert. How much music can you store on the iPhone compared to the iPod? Thank you and have a \_ which iPod are you referring to?

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I never heard of Steve Jobs until he died. End of story. he's an American icon who revolutionize the way we communicate with to each other and most importantly, the way we listen to music... end of story can i see a pic of your parents so i can see what created you? umm weird and a lil obsessed over looks i guess thats all you have to offer I didn't either. I can't imagine that most people knew who he was. Maybe in Anerica but I don't remember seeing him on the news or anything here until he died understandable...
