    You could say that the government represent the people, and carry out the will of the people.

    Then could you not say the same thing about the changes in the laws that you have issues with? It was just the people speaking?

    Of course. Not everyone will like all the laws, but they are created by people who represent the general population, and sometimes they are based on votes by the general population (like pot legalization), or rulings by the supreme court (gay marriage).

    Yeah, but you don't think that it should be against the law.

    Stop pretending that you wouldn't have issues with corporations doing certain things. Refusing black people for example.

    You must have me confused with someone else.

    This thread and the article on which it is based, isn't about masks.

    So people should be allowed to do whatever they want with their free time?

    Hitler's national socialism is the blueprint for Biden's America.

    The article in question was from Federalist and it was about masks, and a good example of the propaganda your source spreads.

    Your words, not mine.

    Do you find it hard to hide the fact that you want the government to control corporate business decisions, like in this case you'd want the government to force EBay to sell books which they consider rasict.

    And business decisions can be criticised, right?

    Military dictatorship with anti communist and anti-semitic emphasis? I doubt it, but lets wait a couple of years and see if you were right or wrong.

    No, they are simply in other hands, and anyone can sell stuff in Amazon. I guess people realized it was beyond stupid to pay $500 for a cartoon.

    Ah, so you DO think that it should be illegal for businesses to discriminate on the basis of race! Inconsistent ! :roflol:

    Its not me who is confused since you didn't even know which article I was referring to even after I told you which one it was.

    Your words, not mine (again). Adding words "so this is what you think" doesn't make your words my words. Quit putting words in other peoples mouths. Its dishonest.

    As long as it is not harming anyone else, that is an affirmative.

    Don't for get the oligarchy, single party rule and the desire to shut down any media or speech that disagrees with them.

    Voters decide which party rules, and I doubt Biden will change that, but again, lets wait a couple of years and see if you are right or wrong. As of today, the government has not shut down any media outlets, but lets wait and see. In 2009 a host of really bad things was supposed to happen because Dems and Obama won the elections, none of which happened, so sorry if I am skeptical about your Nazi predictions.

    No; I asked you a simple question about it but, instead of a yes or no, you just retrieved me the link; have you read it? It's not clear, from your, "reply." It kind of felt like you were expecting me to read it for you, the way you made me get the scientific definition of water vapor for you, rather than just looking it up yourself.

    Is it difficult explaining whether or not EBAY delineates a difference in their policy regarding inappropriate content, or whatever you want to call it, between most books and those specifically targeted towards, intended for, children?
