    About 4 years ago I was going apple picking and I was trying to get speaking directions from my phone. It kept giving me a ridiculous route to get where I wanted to go. I finally said to the phone "you're fucking stupid". And, swear to god, my phone replied "that's not what you'll say when robots take over the world". 

    Freaky. 
    iphone? android, if so which brand?
    Android, I've never had any Apple products - I believe I had a HTC OneMax at the time. It was GPS through Google Maps with Skyvi (android version of Siri before they had OK Google voice commands).

    Is this like a badge of honour.  It seems people go out of their way to say they never used Apple products...that's funny

    Every time you have a negative thought, you really don't have to type it. Seriously.

    And adding 'that's funny' makes no sense. 
    By the way, it was sarcasm...don't be such stick in the mud.  and I've seen some of your posts.  You have no room to talk...I can debate this all day with you.
    It wasn't sarcasm. 

    But you've seen some of my posts and I have no room to talk - you have just declared yourself to be the decider of what I may post and if it is acceptable. That's rather personal for a person that I don't know. 

    I have no desire to 'debate' with you. Debate is fun. This is not.


    Yeah, it was.  I have not made an offensive comment to you.  You are easily offended.  Toughen up.  It just the internet...my gawd

    Perhaps, but that illustrates one of the problems with technology- the difficulty of communicating well and clearly on-line.  Words are only 7% of communication, all the rest is body language, facial expression and tone of voice, none of which you get here.   That makes offending and being offended much easier.  I think we should all meet up at an I-Hop in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin for coffee and discussion time once a week.

    That may be.  But if you get offended by someone's comment on the internet.  You are soft, people need to toughen up.  Nothing offensive was said to that particular poster.   By the way, that poster could choose to ignore.  If I'm in the right mood and you start quoting me about stupid shit, the debate is on...if I'm not in the mood I move on...

    You do not get to characterize if I am soft or if I need to toughen up. If you are in a mood then you get to change the entire arc of a thread? I've seen you do it before and you have cursed at me before when I haven't even been speaking to you. Being tough isn't the ability to be critical of others. I'm so sick of people who like to be contrary using the 'toughen up' excuse. It's weak.

    You quoted me about stupid shit - you bolded my saying I have never used Apple. Why do you care and why is that funny?

    If you are going to be critical of someone, then own up to it and don't play it off like you were having fun.

    What is wrong with soft?  Why do people need to toughen up?  I hear those things said a lot as if they are a given.  Some people are more sensitive than others.  Is that a problem?  Honest question.

    I know I've probably offended people here before, but I try not to.  I don't know what presses people's buttons if they are people I don't know in person.. I don't know why some things offend some people or what their history is.  I might get offensive if I'm being given shit but more and more, I try not to give others shit. 

    Peace and love.  Why not!

    iphone? android, if so which brand?
    Android, I've never had any Apple products - I believe I had a HTC OneMax at the time. It was GPS through Google Maps with Skyvi (android version of Siri before they had OK Google voice commands).

    Is this like a badge of honour.  It seems people go out of their way to say they never used Apple products...that's funny

    Every time you have a negative thought, you really don't have to type it. Seriously.

    And adding 'that's funny' makes no sense. 
    By the way, it was sarcasm...don't be such stick in the mud.  and I've seen some of your posts.  You have no room to talk...I can debate this all day with you.
    It wasn't sarcasm. 

    But you've seen some of my posts and I have no room to talk - you have just declared yourself to be the decider of what I may post and if it is acceptable. That's rather personal for a person that I don't know. 

    I have no desire to 'debate' with you. Debate is fun. This is not.


    Yeah, it was.  I have not made an offensive comment to you.  You are easily offended.  Toughen up.  It just the internet...my gawd
    Perhaps, but that illustrates one of the problems with technology- the difficulty of communicating well and clearly on-line.  Words are only 7% of communication, all the rest is body language, facial expression and tone of voice, none of which you get here.   That makes offending and being offended much easier.  I think we should all meet up at an I-Hop in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin for coffee and discussion time once a week.
    That may be.  But if you get offended by someone's comment on the internet.  You are soft, people need to toughen up.  Nothing offensive was said to that particular poster.   By the way, that poster could choose to ignore.  If I'm in the right mood and you start quoting me about stupid shit, the debate is on...if I'm not in the mood I move on...
    What is wrong with soft?  Why do people need to toughen up?  I hear those things said a lot as if they are a given.  Some people are more sensitive than others.  Is that a problem?  Honest question.
    If you are offended by the question I asked, you are beyond soft...how about suck it up buttercup.  The poster could have ignored, not that hard.  Do not engage in a forum of the anonymous posters and then try to set the rules... 
    Me, set rules?  LOL, no, they're more fun to break. 

    I know I've probably offended people here before, but I try not to.  I don't know what presses people's buttons if they are people I don't know in person.. I don't know why some things offend some people or what their history is.  I might get offensive if I'm being given shit but more and more, I try not to give others shit. 

    Peace and love.  Why not!
    He's talking about me Brian - but thanks for trying to make sense of it.
    No,  you are wrong again, I was talking in general...but thanks for the great Sunday.  You brightened my day...

    About 4 years ago I was going apple picking and I was trying to get speaking directions from my phone. It kept giving me a ridiculous route to get where I wanted to go. I finally said to the phone "you're fucking stupid". And, swear to god, my phone replied "that's not what you'll say when robots take over the world". 

    Freaky.

    Strange that you kept saying "that poster" and even "that particular poster" if you were talking in generalities.

    Strange that he's talking in general, but he says that 'you're wrong again'. Not quite sure what I was wrong about at all but obviously 'a particular poster' was wrong several times about some general information. 

    There is the criticism, then how dare you question my criticism, then it was just a joke and you are too soft, then i was talking in generalities. 

    If you're going to have your day 'brightened' by being mean, own it.

    Technology has allowed for two strangers to argue with each other online, and for other strangers to read it.  It has its flaws.

    I have no doubt that there is probably a correlation between kids who use iPhones and play video games, etc. less and them being more likely to be happy and successful.

    I absolutely agree.  I just find it interesting that these 2 companies market their products toward kids, but limited their kids use.
