Blame antisocial media. It gave a voice to all sorts of psychotic mentally ill people. They have always existed but even on the 2000s internet, before Twitter and Facebook they remained contained in the few forums and chatrooms that tolerated their nonsense.

It's tragic how many people in this day and age, seem to live for the sole purpose of finding something with which to be offended

If you're interested, here's the sound track to that incident:
BTW, I've always said of, "Wubbya", "if the Kennedy's had a child as "gifted" as him, old Rose would have locked him in the attic".
Even further off topic, here's the Dixie's anthem against spousal abuse:
Incidentally, Natalie Maines looks far too butch with those 'white sidewalls'.
Am I allowed to say that?

Of course Amazon burns books. How else are they going to sell you one of those dumb a** Kindles"?

Pointing fingers and judging others, is NOT canceling anything. It is expressing an opinion on what the person thinks is a wrong or not pleasing to them. Removing literature or films or other people's opinions is actually "canceling" something. If you feel "offended" by something, it is a "you" issue, not an actual problem with the item or words or opinion.
Everything those people ever pointed a finger at was canceled. Quit pretending.

"Amazon changes logo because some crackhead said it looks like hitler, Analysts suggest the box was actually hitlers child and it was forming a new political party in germany and no one actually knew the box wasn't human, it even managed to fool a DNA test and state of the art AI which determined the cardboard box was a human.
The FBI & CIA is asking for any witnesses to come forward regarding the walking box and have told people to stay clear and DO NOT approach said box as it may attack at any moment"

You missed your calling, concocting conspiracy theories for Q'anon.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go eat a baby for breakfast...

So, we can conclude that over-sensitive morons exist on both sides.

Maybe that logo is in reference to Jeff "Lex Luthor" Bezos because he really is an evil dictator.
This is nothing more than empty virtue signalling, something that is common among NeoLiberals and other false progressives. If these people actually gave a damn, they'd be protesting the horrible conditions that must be endured when working at Amazon. Whether or not the logo looks like Adolf Hitler's mustache (after applying a considerable amount of imagination) wouldn't be considered a priority until the REAL problems were addressed and solved. The substantive issues are far more important than the issues that could be best described as superficial.
If people are willing to regularly buy things from Amazon while ignoring the plight of their workers, then they're in no position to criticise anything about the company because clearly, the company is doing all that's needed to be successful at getting their business. The dollars that these people spend will always speak much louder to any business than the empty words that they use in hypocritical criticism.
This is why I've only purchased two things from Amazon and NOTHING from Wal-Mart in the past three years. I prefer to shop at Costco, a company with a CEO who treats the employees like human beings instead of machines. I refuse to be a hypocrite and I care far more about the actual business practices of a corporation than the logo that they use.

this 100% LOL! It's laughable at the very least. Pathetic beyond comprehension.
Since that stuff above was not an attack or flaming can you at least elaborate on what is so pathetic or laughable?

If how I took The insanegamers post was correct. I was simply agreeing with how it's just sad, yet funny all at the same time, that with all the awful events happening around the world, and how truly bad some people have it in 3rd world countries.....yet hey here in America we have people making a big deal about a logo printed on a box that somehow resembles a man who died 75 some odd years ago lol. In other counties this wouldn't have even been a topic of debate
Well, then there we have it. I completely misunderstood what you meant. I truly feel like a dipshit so I hope you accept my apology.If how I took The insanegamers post was correct.

Hey man all good! Sorry I got defensive. I'll work on elaborating more in the future. My only issue is that when I do, I typically go off the rails and stop being politically correct, and my posts get either flagged or taken down.

I really do like controversy on occasion. It sharpens everyone's senses in my opinion. But I do jump in with both feet sometimes when I really should have done some recon first. I do get quite a few posts taken down myself. It used to make me wonder what the hell, but after I got the feel of the mods tendencies I really just shake my head now.Hey man all good!

As an example, maybe we should stop saying dipshit, etc. and get back to the topic of Amazon and Adolph Hitler. You know something without controversy

Frankly, I'm tired of people like you who seem to think that they have the only way.
Oh yeah, if you aren't a leftist cultist then you are a right winger...
Prejudice much?
And guess what?
I'm not right winger!
I remember when people in forums were aware of fallacies and didn't tried them this openly.
Which inludes the "When the right cancels something, it is not cancel culture.". In that case the argument is for "both". But it is the left who is currently cancelling. At all speed. All happy and as we can see from the likes of you, putting poor excuses.
Accept it: is the left now the book burning, bigoted, racists, authoritarian, pro corporations and friends and defenders of all kinds of anti "human rights" elements and common extreme inmoral and criminal acts. Among others.
Personally, I don't care if you are left or right. However, when you spout the left this, the left that, you sure sound like you are on the right.
Prejudice much? Hypocrite much?

Yep both feet or no feet lol. Some Forums are far worse. But then again must be moderated otherwise I suppose it typically get's way out of hand lol! Anyway yeah back on topic, or somewhat anyway I just read some news that Jeep is possibly ditching the Cherokee naming scheme. Can't say that's no surprise since so many other recent scenarios such as the Washington Redskins, Land O Lakes butter and such. Guess it's time for a social reformI really do like controversy on occasion. It sharpens everyone's senses in my opinion.
