It's hard keeping score with all the groups and anti-this and anti-that. The Flowers for Dreams guy says he's standing up for "minorities," but the story gives me the impression it's like Kars for Kids...benefiting a Jewish organization under the guise of something more universal.

Right. That's why this is sort of silly and I don't really have an opinion either way. It's just standard virtue signaling. Tons of companies doing it nowadays.

AirBnB getting in on the action:

Quote:
White supremacists using Airbnb will be banned from making reservations and hiring out flats and permanently booted out from the platform, Airbnb’s co-founder said on Tuesday.

On the back of violence sparked by extremists in the US, Airbnb co-founder Nathan Blecharczyk said the company cancelled reservations made by some users after it had become aware of a gathering of white supremacists in Charlottesville - the largest in decades.

Speaking to Bloomberg TV, he said the “hate displayed this week has been shocking”.

“We make every one of our users sign a pledge when they sign up that they will not discriminate and exhibit hatred”, he said. “Whenever we become aware of such examples they are permanently banned from platform.”


I'm sure large corporations seeking to massage certain views and stances out of the populace can't go wrong.

Clever PR stunt? maybe,

It's got Tad and his twitter avengers fired up, so it's working.
I'm almost positive that this is going to be a "WHY CAN YOU DISCRIMINATE AGAINST NAZI'S BUT NOT GAYS" even though they are nothing alike.


Sure this can go in that direction. Wouldn't the point in that argument be though that is doesn't matter if they are alike?
You tell me.


Not sure. I am anti Nazi and not anti gay so I would have to pretend to make the case. I imagine there would be some that say its not right that a florist can discriminate against Nazis but a baker cannot discriminate against gays wanting a wedding cake. Unless you are going to argue that Nazis have no rights or that their "thoughts" are illegal then discrimination is discrimination.

In reality, I assume the Nazi will lie if they need flowers that bad or go somewhere else.
Well, I'll wait for someone who believes it to make the case then.

I don't want to live in a world where Nazi's can't buy flowers.
