I think it's more about PR moves than actually truly affecting their bottom line. It may have been more of a money issue for someone like Wal mart who would have the merchandise right in costumer's faces, but the games are different. Not "everyone" was going to see it, and I'm guessing for the majority of the people that would be downloading those types of games (true gamers) it wouldn't have been a big enough deal to actually boycott them or anything.
I listened to a black guy's speech on the radio rant about the American flag yesterday. The "same flag that flies over the American Unjustice Department". I await the mature visionaries that will finally take that disgrace down as well.Thank you Apple and any other company mature enough to remove the confederate flag! I love Clemson University so very much but I am embarrassed to say the confederate flag still flies above its state's capitol. This symbol has always represented the CSA which was built on slavery. The confederate flag can be flown on a personal basis but not above the capitol. The CSA ceased to exist in the 1860s. Therefore SC is no longer part of the CSA. So why does it still fly above its highest structure of government?
Yeah, I'm saying they probably did it more to gain good pub than avoid bad pub.You're right it's absolutely a PR move. Bad publicity for a major corporation typically equates to reduced revenue though.
I suggest you do a little research on the civil war; it may be enlightening.Thank you Apple and any other company mature enough to remove the confederate flag!

Truth.I would bet the average age of the posters in this thread is about 25...brainwashed by the left-wing political machine...
Isn't it ironic how the left preaches tolerance yet is the most intolerant group that exists in this country...
I don't own a confederate flag, never have and never will. I also don't have a problem removing it from the state house grounds, as it should have never been there in the first place. That said the intolerance in this country and political correctness is scary. American's have became the most entitled society in the world.
It is becoming very tiresome that everything offends everyone. We will never live in peace in this country until we realize that people are different. The most intolerant people seem to be those screaming tolerance from the roof tops. I am white, Christian and a Clemson fan. I carry a Bible and a firearm. If you are not white or Christian it does not offend me. If you watch CNN and not Fox, I don't care we can still be friends. Wouldn't the world be a dull place with a bunch of white dudes only running around. My point is God gave ALL races this little world to live on and share. Let's try to understand and love each other a lot more.
Not me.I really hate people.
Not that I agree with them doing that, but whose rights are they infringing upon? Seems more like you're wanting the retailer's rights to be infringed upon.Read where Walmart is going to pull Lynyrd Skynyrd cd's and others with rebel pictures. I'll predict this is the beginning of something that isn't going to stop. Not just about the flag but just rights in general.

The Twenty-Eighths Amendment to the Constitution guarantees to right to buy Confederate Flag Merchandise at every retailer. Retailers not carrying it tramples on that right. Wal-Mart, NASCAR and now Apple are denying your rights. I would expect the Supreme Court to rule on this next summer.
Everything is ok with most people until it directly effects them or their families. Just like you stated about Walmart child labor people don't care and still buy ar Walmart but if was their children working that way they would be going crazy.I think removal of the flag from state house grounds is the correct thing to do. It's existence isn't being eradicated, or the rights to display it at your own will being taken from you, though some entities with a legal right and choice to do so, are in fact doing it.
However, two things at play here. First, Wal Mart has done this once before, on a similar but smaller scale, when they decided to rid their shelves of Maurice's bbque sauce over the same issue a number of years back. The world and people's lives didn't implode then, and and they won't now. Secondly, the same head scratching irony is also at play in their decision, in that, a large portion of the rest of the products they will leave on those shelves are manufactured and produced at the hands and feet of exploited child labor in various sweatshops across the continent. Which is equally abhorrent in the eyes of right and wrong.
Not me.
I really love people. All of them.
Removing the flag is stupid and does NOTHING to solve the problem.
What the hell does this thread have to do with the government? You're reaching pretty far.No the problem I have is when is the government going to pass something that you don't agree with (plenty already) that's going to directly effect you or more importantly your children's lives. Cause it's coming if something doesn't change and faster than most Americans realize.
Is the government removing ths flag from the capital grounds? Not reaching far as you think.What the hell does this thread have to do with the government? You're reaching pretty far.

Could care less about any flag. Supreme Court said it's legal for all 50 states to have same sex marriage , do you think that's right? I personally have gay friends had a very good lawyer friend that died of aids back in the 90's that lived in Columbia. But I believe that law shouldn't have been passed cause I believe it's wrong. That will effect my daughter and her children if she has any. Why you ask cause they may think it's ok when it's not. Like I stated earlier how far and what will be the next law pushed down our throats? Is the government going to tell you how many children you can have, who you can marry, or it's ok to marry children? Sounds crazy but as great as a mind can be it can be just as wicked.Does it affect your life and/or rights?
You said "Read where Walmart is going to pull Lynyrd Skynyrd cd's and others with rebel pictures. I'll predict this is the beginning of something that isn't going to stop. Not just about the flag but just rights in general."
That's a pretty broad statement but it at least sounds like you're including the flag as one of those "rights in general".
Nobody is saying YOU can't fly the flag though while right or wrong a lot of people probably assumed certain things about you if you flew it from your truck, porch or wherever (see what I did), there may be even more that do now and to a further degree.
Explain what isn't going to stop and what rights could be stripped from you. Aside from the gun control debate, I'm just curious about your hypothesis and how this not stopping will affect your actual rights?
Not me.

I agree. I do not care if gays get married. Come Monday I have to get up and go to work. Two men getting married is not going to change that for me. I just do not want the Gov't telling people what they have to except and not except. That is not the function of the Gov't.Could care less about any flag.

First off a lot of our laws came from the 10 commandments whether you believe that or not. Next could be wrong but I believe you are younger than me. When I was growing up never in a million years did I are many other people think that God would be taken out of school, abortion would be legal or same sex marriage would be legal. So if you live a long life don't think that marring multiple partners or a animal cannot be accepted as marriage. Go back and read the old testament of the Bible and read how people were living that's why God destroyed cities, countries, and even the entire world with the flood.I'm fairly sure I responded to your posts in another thread but...yes, I do think legalizing gay marriage is right.
I also, once again, don't understand how anything is being forced down my throat (pause) or how they're telling me or anyone else what they cannot do. You're not explaining anything other than, "it's wrong" and "they may think it's ok when it's not." Here's reality...the word of the bible, right or wrong, has no bearing on a significant portion of the country and shouldn't on governmental laws either.
Stop it with that marrying children, animals, two people, crap.

so our nation's laws should be in lockstep with your thinking? you're just that important, huh?Could care less about any flag.

Only thing is He still will be God after the snickers.Sounds like God needs a Snickers.
