You got me. I don't have proof those exact words were stated in a meeting at Amazon.  It seems rather unlikely that a business of that size would rush into any decision with a controversial issue without discussing it first internally though. Unfortunately I don't have access to the business meetings of these businesses.

"Did you hear Amazon is taking a stand against the confederate flag?  I support that cause and since I've never really checked out Amazon before, let me see what they are about.   OMG wowzers I love this site!

I don't believe anyone has ever said any of this.
Expect for the marketing and pr group at Amazon when they were rushed in to a meeting to discuss other companies removing the flag from their stock.  The general idea of trying to expand their customer base while not having to worry about losing a significant number of customers over the decision is the driving force behind this movement by companies.  Then once a few did it, the rest followed suit to not be branded as a racist company.

They are also riding the wave to catch support from the crowd that wants the flag outright banned while only losing support from the most hardcore confederate flag wavers.  The vast majority of people won't give a shit whether Wal-Mart stops selling the flag or not.  It's really a win-win for them.  In a couple of months when this has blown over, they will quietly sneak the flags back into their retail lists and there won't be any news about it.

I thought this was America and companies were free to choose which products they carry.

I'm pretty sure animals have been found to have sex with a member of the same sex and they don't slaughter each other over it.  In fact, my grandma used to have a dog that would try to get a bj from anything with four legs, no matter the species or sex.  Therefore it's not against Nature's Law as you put it.

If I murdered someone and carried that knowledge with me through a reset day, I'd feel guilty knowing what I did.

The cheated's knowledge of the deed doesn't effect the fact that their partner cheated.

I also share Thork's concern about the merchandise, but with no one here haven taken up the merch role I suppose it's moot. Let the merger begin.

Edit:  I just saw the T-shirt thread.  I like that idea much better than Daniel running the merchandise.

Britain learned from America and decided to outlaw guns so the rest of their population couldn't revolt.

I thought the original story was that he didn't stop Brown in relation to the robbery at all?

To add an anecdote regarding moving violations.  I drive through a predominately black portion of Nashville on my commute and the drivers in this area are atrocious compared to the drivers in any other part of my commute.  I would not be surprised if moving violation rates were 400% higher in that area of Nashville when compared to another random section of the city.

Does this mean it is forbidden for women to wear pants?

There are hundreds of billions of stars in the universe, likely with their own planets around them.  The fact that at least one developed life is actually very good when compared to how many planets there could be.

I hated living in Tennessee for the first time last night.  It gave the legislature free reign to even make abortion illegal in the cases of rape, incest, and threat to the mother's life.  That and the dumb bitch Marsha Blackburn got re-elected.

So there are no repercussions at all for not following God's laws?

I can imagine The Most Perfect Bottle which never empties no matter how much is drank
Existence is greater than non-Existence
Therefore TMPB exists.

Well you did make the thread of "ask a jew" and yet you couldn't provide an answer to a very simple question, you just blindly follow that rule without a second thought.

What happens to a Jew if they knowingly wear mixed threads and do not seek forgiveness?

If you aren't willing to question the frivolous laws, then why would you even bother to question the major ones?  It's incredibly easy to question those small ones and should be easy to find the answer as to why.

The majority of voters vote in religious people, this doesn't mean America itself is religious and the constitution forbids America from being religious.
