    Why would you say that if I didn't suggest that they CANNOT do what they want?

    Obviously they know that they're childrens books, but in their statement, they said that Seuss was banned in accordance with their policy on offensive content. Do you acknowledge that?

    Oh, now I see your point. Did you both to read their policy on offensive content, presuming that is available to see?

    You seem to have a massive problem with corporations making business decisions on their own. Its like you wish someone should make them for them.

    So if a corporation made a business decision to discriminate against black people, you wouldn't criticise them?

    I sure hope you're not actually admitting that you still think the Left is 'against racism'!

    Because that would be too much comedy for late on a Sunday night :p

    It's a leap in the wrong direction.

    And business decisions can be criticised, right?

    Which books? I know that you can't mean the cancelled Dr Seuss books, unless they trade in second hand books?

    I'm guessing that you accidentally quoted my post in this.

    Either word suffices.

    And, by that, I mean that either one will do.

    The sky doesn't actually fall, we just re-define what we mean by 'sky' and 'fall.'
    No progressive ever thought that half of our kids (3/4 if you're African American)
    would come from broken homes. No-one expected required political speech would
    ever be a thing. No-one thought we would tear down all the statues. No-one thought
    that people would revile people of certain skin color ever again. No-one thought that
    porn, gambling and hard drugs would ever become mainstream. Or that we could
    abort a child the day it's due, or have someone euthanased just because they want
    it. No-one expected our progressive education would leave our kids three years
    behind those of Singapore and South Korea - and these same kids would one day
    eat our breakfast.
    But for me - the things progressives told me in the 1960's 'will never happen' have
    happened, and worse.

    And the alternative was women not being able to get out of abusive relationships. Hell, back in the 60s you dream about most states had laws that said a husband could not rape his wife since it was her duty to have sex with him. Great time to be alive if you were a white male.

    No idea what this even means.

    I know right, when people put up statues to honor enemies of our nation they never thought people would one day have the balls to say "why are we honoring someone that took up arms against our very nation?"

    Has that ever stopped? Hell in the 60s you dream about people of a certain skin color could not even eat at the same place as you. I guess you miss those days.

    That is what happens when you let adults make their own decisions instead of having the government tell them what is moral and what is not. But I still find it better than having a total nanny state, but that is just me.

    I think that liberals fought for and won many social freedoms since the 50s, but that the "woke" fake liberals have been pushing hard to undo them.

    Porn and gambling for sure...not so much hard drugs.

    There are close to 10 casinos within 30 miles of me. Sports betting is now legal in all 50 states if I am not mistaken. There are literally apps for you phone that allow you to gamble at any time.

    Porn has always been there, Playboy started in the 50s, Penthouse in the 60s. Now we have the internet and porn sites always have the most traffic.

    But as long as it all is just consenting adults it is not really anyone else's business.

    When we 'liberalized' divorce laws we made a pact with the devil - we dealt
    with the 'problem' which is 'irreconcilable differences' in a certain percentage
    of marriages. The PRICE is to subtly redefine marriage - and this leads to
    NEW PROBLEMS, including the kids, ideas of commitment, marrying the
    govt. through welfare dependency etc.. Same with gambling, drugs, porn
    etc.. Nothing is free - the end of censorship lead to the avalanche of porn
    which dehumanizes people, for instance.
    There's no free lunch with social 'reform.'
    Required speech is the growing use of political correct terms, such as
    gender pronouns.
    It wasn't the 'government' which told people what to do - it was society. In
    other words, other people.

    I used to wonder what a 'post-religious world' would look like. I felt I had
    the answer the day I read that 6 and 7 years old boys in Australian
    schools had to a 'remedial course' in learning not to sexually abuse girls
    or think of them in a sexual objects. That would have been unimaginable
    back in the age when some girls were stuck in bad marriages.

    That would be against the law, and that is not what is happening.

    Why do you have such issue with corporations running their business as they best see fit? This is not the first time you rave about them making business decisions on their own.

    It is propaganda to claim masks are not a health matter, but rather about social control.

    This is accurate, sort of. We did open up other problems when we no longer forced women to be married to someone they did not want to be married to. We gave women a voice and allowed them to leave abuse or loveless marriages. In other words we allowed adults to make adult decisions. Yes, that does lead to problems as we humans are a flawed race.

    This did indeed happen, we did redefine marriage. Now look at what has happened...black are marrying white and men are marrying men and all hell is breaking lose on earth and it is the end of the world as we know it! Though personally I am ok with all of those things.

    Porn is as old as prostitutes. If you do not wish to indulge in porn then do not. It is not your place to tell other consenting adults what to do with their free time.

    No, it was the government as it was the government making the laws.

    Let me make a wild guess here....you are a white male? am I correct?
