R.I.P Steve Jobs

[Nameless]

MY sympathies to his family but I am nowhere more touched than by the innocent victims from the Lybia's war or in Afghanistan, those who might not have possessed Jobs vision but who didn't have his money neither the chance to offer everything they wanted for their family let alone die around those they loved.

That same old argument comes up everytime somebody get an RIP thread.

At the end of the day Steve Jobs is an inspiration to me and his products made my life better. Yes, every death is tragic and nobody's life (with some exceptions) is any more valuable than anybody elses, but the fact is nobody in Libia, regardless of circumstance, has produced antyhign remotely as cool as the Ipad

I disagree. That the guy dies and that the media talks about it, fine, but why don'T they make many articles about those who deserve attention, not those who need absolutely nothing? I hate the glorification around it, the guy had a vision but he was a greedy fatfuck capitalist who's genius produces are among the most toxic you can find around (and this is well documented). I don't care that the peeps, soldiers or civilians who did die around haven't produces useful stuff (yet absolutely not necessarily) like he did, that doesn't make their life any less valuable.

Now big H, show it down your booty and post us some of your lovely porn treasure, you havent post nothing on that side for quite a long time and it disappoints me greatly

My point was not about the media, but about this site. Everytime there is an RIP thread, somebody comes out with the "their life is no more valuable than anybody else's" well, of course it isn't, it's just a thread of appreciation for somebody I admired and I ain't got time to start a thread for every person that dies every tenth of a second around the world.

Fair enough, I see your point,in that respect, you're not totally wrong. All my excuses kind sir.
















Now show me some hardcore porn you dumbfuck

You speak shite!

Firstly, this thread is not about how worthy you feel Steve Jobs is to receive somebodies admiration or sympathy, it's not a debate, it's my choice to say R.I.P to a guy I admired.

BUT - If you think that it's all about silly phones and you do not see the impact that Apple has had on the world today then I have vastly overestimated your intelligence.

I could write you a massive explanation off the top of my head, but just think about simple facts such as the number of people that Apple employs and the money that has been made by normal people that hold shares in that company, that is worth between £300 and £400 Billion dollars and was started in a garage!

Think about 'Apps' which is a completely new industry created around Apple devices. How many jobs/businesses/entreprenuers has this created??

The world be live in would be unrecognizable without Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. And you don't need to own a silly phone for that to be a fact. Unfortunately for Bill Gates, in 5 years time his product (the PC /Laptop) will be replaced in every home and business by a Tablet device (thanks to the iPad)

I could go on and on and on, but it doesn't matter, because the guy is dead and I don't need to defend my reasons for saying RIP to the guy. Just stay out of the thread if you do not have an interest.

He had nothing to say and his products meant very little to me. Maybe when you start a thread on a public forum you should expect some negative feedback. I gave you that and it was what I felt was true.

I had an interest and it was a negative one. Now you will just have to deal with that and should do better as a so called Mod.

You did a poor job there Big H. And I will tell you as much. I could tell you to shut the fuck up, but it is poor form really. I shall abstain from that ridiculous nonsense.

Furthermore, you could have said RIP in private. But you chose to do it on the public board of a boxing site. You invited responses.

Your response was over the top and you were very rude to me. By starting the thread you invited responses and nobody could predict the exact nature of those responses.

I'm not impressed at all Big H, I think you owe me an apology.

[Gandalf]

And I actually have no interest in the porn collection of Big H because I am the biggest purist on this site and that status gives me more right than anyone to comment on the death of anyone else. I live in a world beyond all of those things and when they happen I will join a thread and be honest.

Does one start a thread to say someone is dead and expect a million "Oh no. How could this be?" responses. Of course not. And yet suddenly Steve Jobs is a saint. He designed a few things, employed a lot of Chinese and died.

[Saddo]

wow tough crowd... maybe the concept of respect thread has been lost on this occasion.

[Mars_ax]

Steve Jobs is an example of just 'one man' making a huge difference in the world, Apple would have folded years ago were it not for his efforts.

RIP Steven Jobs

Seriously Miles, just shut up now!!!

I opened the thread on a public forum for people who wanted to say positive things. Do you think an RIP thread is a debate? The guy is dead, if you don't like or admire at least just show some respect and keep your views to yourself.
