Target partners with org pushing for kids' genders to be secretly changed in schools without parenta

Not really. I don't like trans people - not painful at all.

 

Most have a ridiculously large golden parachute. Most contain language that even if caught doing something that the rest of us would get fired and/or imprisoned for, they still collect.

I refer you to 2008 as evidence.

 

How many have you chatted with or gotten to know over a cup of coffee.?

 

Corporations are learning. They are appealing to their customer base in order to sell products. So, why in the hell you would want corporations to limit their customer base to only groups you like? That is not logical nor makes any business sense in any way whatsoever. And it is not like Target is just selling clothes that appeal to Homosexuality. Geez, have you ever been to a Target Store and know what they do and do not sell?

 

None of that proves your original claim though. Yes, stock dropped, and has been dropping for Target long before Target did this. And according to this link, it has been dropping since 2020.

 

I’m sure they were mostly peaceful bomb threats by the people who profess tolerance.

Target Stores Hit With Bomb Threat After 'Turning Its Back' On LGBTQ+ Community

Target is full of [redacted] cowards who turned their back on the LGBT community and decided to cater to homophobic right wing, redneck, bigots, who protested and vandalized their store," reads a threatening email sent to several Target locations in Ohio and one in Pennsylvania, Cleveland 19 News reports.

At least five Targets in multiple states received bomb threats Friday over company executives pulling the Pride collection section because of mounting boycotts, leading to multiple stores being evacuated as police and the FBI searched for explosive devices.

I have. Have you ever been taught the importance of having and supporting good values in a society?

 

that is a personal choice for me and my values will be different than yours in which you can never meet my values. However, when it comes to corporations, there is something called corporate governance in which the corporation tries to be involved with the community whether that business supports the local high school sports team, professional team, collegiate team or any other group in that community.

But to the point and my question specifically, which you have not answered, why should businesses limit to the groups to sell to? Or is that part of "your personal values" to anyone and everyone who does not meet your myopic world of who is whom?

 

Don't be jealous.

 

Well, do you mind being thought of as bigoted?

 

You don't need to have coffee with someone to know you are disgusted by them.

 

Bigot. By leftist standards everyone is a bigot these days. What is the Niemoller poem??

 

The left believes everyone is bigoted irrationally. I highly doubt anyone takes them seriously anymore. Other than other leftists ofcourse.

 

hardly …

 

Again, personal insults and ad hominem attacks are not going to get you anywhere in this debate. Second I am well aware, that the inference I was making, is that values are a personal choice that is not something that is the universal standard by all. Just because people have different values does not make one set of values more than the other set, or vice versa. But you seem to be of the mindset that it is your way or the highway, and that is a mark of a simpleton to say the least. And all you have done is look but do not see, hear but do not listen in all your alleged "travels."

And after all that, you still did not answer the question I have. You dodged it, as usual, with your personal insult.

 

You don't seem to understand that "values" are grade standards. Generally- meaning high and respectable ones. You can call living off others a "value" if you want to- but there is one hell of a difference in the impact on the quality of a society between those who pay their own way and those who don't, and that applies to a wide variety of things. One could score "values" on a scale, just like a test of a skill or ability- and those of some people would be miserable and others excellent. It's the impact that "value" has on the quality of life in our society that determines their quality.

And recognizing a fact is not a personal insult. If you fail the final exam- you failed. It is what it is. Applies to most things people do.
Values have two metrics. What you think of yourself, or self-respect, and what others think of your conduct, which is peer respect.
If you can genuinely respect your own values without lying to yourself, good for you. If you have to lie to yourself, that is something else.
If those values are not respectable to the rest of us- you have nothing to complain about.
Nobody is obligated to approve of your "values" so you can approve of yourself.

 

Well I certainly don't care for that type of dialogue, but it is far from one sided.

 

Where did you earn your moral capital, this is the Internet, your claims of moral superiority is nothing here.

 

Only to those who have no respect for moral values.

 

Of course, because it's in the Bible to hate LBGTQ people.

It is my experience those that claim moral superiority, can't explain to any detail why their "values" are better than others.

 

We support women
We support freedom
We support life

 

So how does wokeness provide social responsibility?

 

They lost 6 billion in market capitalization. In other words the value of their stock declined that much. You can look it up anywhere you find stock market quotes. They didn't lose that much money but there is little doubt they haven't been as profitable over the past week or so than they were prior to that. LGBTQ should stop making a spectacle of themselves. It would be more peaceful and better for the culture. They should manage their lives as they wish without trying to drag the rest of us into it.

 

freedom for the government to choose for women

 

I'm not religious so rule that out. And moral quality comes down to things as simple as understanding that people who steal are of lower character than those who do not, and you can apply that to a wide range of behavior. People who lack character or morals chose that path. They define themselves by what they do. While it's true that it's become common in politics and ideology to label people and things you don't agree with as immoral or ethical, all you have to do to identify what actually is so is to watch what they do- is to be a person of good character yourself, and refuse to tilt the scales with your own bias.

There is no excuse for the bad conduct that is in our control; the things we do are the definition of our character.
