50 pages of heated current events discussion but the thing that might actually start a riot is pineapple on pizza.

How extremely internet

1. Bravo for the answer. One of the best played I've seen in a while.

2. Let's keep this as civil as it has been for 50 pages and keep pineapple and pizza away from this.

Typically I will go around town and sprinkle holy water on all the pizza places to prevent such abominations. Unfortunately, I have no such power here.

All these brands aren't doing this for any other reason than "please don't smash us up"

Amazon took a stand and they don't have significant retail stores, though?

I mean, brands can stand for social justice. They have in the past, like when a bunch of companies pressured states over their transphobic bathroom bills.
Nobody says that they can't. But they should (and probably do) know that pandering to a specific audience alienates other audiences.

I for one will never buy a Gillette razor for the rest of my life, thanks to their ad-campaign that men should shave their balls off last year.

Same, I always bought gillete razors and foam. Literally have not bought it since and never will again now.

It wasn't so much the message that annoyed me (although it was obnoxious), it was a brand preaching at me while having overpriced products that irked me. Overpriced razors + preaching = GTFO.

Ah yes, no "personal attacks" as personal attacks are made.

Seems someone needs to have a "the truth hurts" moment of their own.

Why are people so babyish these days, just ignore it or block if they attack you? Who cares, you won't explode. It's just words on the internet.

If a mod wants to delete it they will delete it, them not deleting the "words of emotional pain" instantly should not be a big deal.

So uh, poor people are more inclined to be immoral? Come on guys.

Yeah the poor argument is total nonsense, if you want proof of that just look at homeless people. They have nothing to lose, they have nothing and they still don't go around stealing.

Committing crimes has nothing to do with being poor, lots of rich people commit crimes just fine. It's an individual thing.

Or, just hear me out, Donald Trump starts using a different company to post his thoughts on. And since everyone and their dogs will flock to the new platform, Twitter will end up shooting itself in the foot by banning him there.

And the new platform becomes the new norm.

Why else do you think nobody does MySpace anymore?

You, DirectX, came here on your own volition.

Personally, I think creating a new account just to bypass the block feature should be looked at, but that's just me....

Everyone shits on Tom, but he's the only guy who figured that ***out. Got his 400m, and got the *** out. He's taking pictures on Hawaii while Jack and Zuck deal with cascading tire fires 24/7

Sure, he's not a billionaire. But 400m is still "do whatever the *** you want" money and he gets to have peace and quiet.

Morality scales with the amount of long term money you have. It reaches the peak somewhere between "a bit" and "modest" while it seems to get very flexible in the negative wealth or very wealthy.
Morality is an individual trait. A person's moral standing differs irregardless of wealth accumulation. There are equal amounts of "moral" people in all classes (as a percentage of population, not a sum total of population) as there are "immoral" people.

Class and wealth have zero to do with morality.

It does actually. Morality is a luxury good. You can only afford it when you have extra to spend.

The longer you spend in the poverty line, the more flexible you become with moral issues.

On the other hand, when you have a lot of wealth for a long time, you are less likely going to share it. At least not equally and not without some sort of trade off. You would feel a lot more entitled compare to everyone else.
...did you just imply that poor people are immoral?

/reads again.

Yes, yes you did. Either you have no concept of morals or you want to equate wealth to morals. I'm guessing both.

Do yourself a favor and read a little bit about human psychology and behavior.
I think you need to combine that with your own statement about morals being individual thing.

And yes class, wealth, opportunity do play a factor. Now whether that is more or less... well that's kind of a matter of perspective and would best to say different. That said some of morality is fear of repercussions whether it be legal, financial or social and very wealth/influential people can certainly ignore those better than most

Yea I know, I was just kidding, he was a shitty friend though, never said hi, didn't invite me to his house, like just a real *** of a lurker.

I do think my great-grandchildren will look back in 60 years and wonder what the hell we were doing with social media. Either it takes everything over or it burns out with the death of the Millenial Generation....y'all didn't create it, that's on my fellow Gen-X'ers, but it lives because of y'all.

I already told you Quizno is not me.

Stop summoning me with your obsession with me.

I don't care if it is or not, I just wanted to flick your ear with it since it bothers you so much.

See, everyone won there.

Lucas got PAID.

Disney got a printing press for cash.

Kids got new stuff to enjoy.

And old nerds got to whine about something

I don't believe it plays a factor at all. A rich person is just as likely to have moral tendencies than a poor person does. They also are just as likely to have immoral tendencies than a poor person.

An *** is going to be an *** regardless on how much they are worth.
