It will be difficult because the co. is so big,but it's time to boycott General Mills

[easyliving]

nothing will stop me from eating Honey nut cheerios

[Andy117]

I do agree,Liberals try and push there beliefs on everyone else.

Isn't a boycott based on a commercial that you don't like also essentially doing the same thing?

[gauchojake]

why again were you unbanned?

[TheCentaur]

why again were you unbanned?

We're trying to have a civil discussion here about an issue many people disagree on

If you can't handle that stay out of the saloon or go fuk urself

[muldoon]

Zero problem with it.

If General Mills research backs up the stat that 1 in 10 couples are mixed race, why wouldn't they try and appeal to that market and expand their brand loyalty before other brands try the same thing?

Sounds like something those who champion capitalism would embrace.

[killawookie]

No matter how much you dislike interracial couples or the 'effects' black males have on white women... there is one fact that still remains true. The world is overpopulated and there are plenty of other fish in the sea.

[chilidog]

The world is overpopulated.

Myth. You could take every single human on Earth and give them 1000 sq ft EACH, and they would all fit into an area the size of Texas. Furthermore, the United States alone produces enough potatoes to feed 10x the world's current population.

[Kermit]

I don't remember Tom and Helen Willis causing any controversy.

You can't make up this level of mental dysfunction.

These are the people who vote, huh?

Now we know where it went wrong.

Have a problem with Cheerio's creating a "false reality", but have no problem with conservative "news" shows doing the same.

Stupid parents make stupid babys who create a market for stupid things that make stupidity popular, rinse repeat = 2014.

I think these days people who have a strong disagreement automatically thing the other side is mentally dysfunctional.

I have no doubt that conservative news shows have some bias. To act like in the news arena FOX (whom I'm guessing u are referring to) is the bad apple is astonishing though. Do I have to bring up all the lying and forging by main stream media (liberal media)? The Killian documents and Trayvon Martin case for example

I actually read your opinon, and waded through this thread.

Your reasoning is the reason you're fukked in the head. Specifically:

...90-95% of black male/white female "relationships" end up with a diseased single mom on public assistance, not a happy couple in a nice home

No two ways about it. That's ridiculous.

On top of that, you got upset about a goddamn cereal commercial. Thats fukked

The reason you got upset is because it "promoted" interracial relationships? News flash - That is mentally defunct.

I spend a lot of time watching Fox news and reading "conservative" news. They live in a parallel universe quite separate from reality.

In most instances, they even created an "america" that never existed, and want us to "return" to this imaginary America.

Go find a thread by Cgold about Happy Holidays, and you can see this fake reality consuming most of those who want to self identify with modern day republicans.

Agree to disagree then. I revised that number to include abortion and adoption, and I really don't think it is off, but there won't be a scientific study on it any time soon.

Also, you are mistaken about why I am upset. What they are doing is similar to how for awhile the media was constantly scripting petite females to beat the shit out of a bunch of guys. Are any girls who are good at fighting? Sure, but it's the exception. The media wanted to show women being strong because they wanted to do something for womens' equality but they did it through hyperbole. They have a megaphone and they are shouting lies through it for what they believe is the greater good.

[ChalkyDog]

Here, I'll help you out.

A better commercial to feign outrage over:

[dante1]

Well, I guess we better add Coke to the list of companies to boycott. How dare these corporations attempt to infuse civil rights for all and the freedom to marry any person one desires. Yep, let us all get together and boycott Coke too.

I'm assuming there was a commercial for gay marriage? I didn't see it

Let's go ahead and recognize polygamy and underage marriage also. Stop treading on these peoples' rights and withholding the status and tax benefits other married couples enjoy

Nice try sir, but I am almost positive nothing said or implied by anybody involves polygamy and underage marriage, pretty clever though. Toss around facts not in play in an attempt to confuse the issue. Good job. Oh and btw, during biblical times no such thing as underage marriage. In fact biblical experts are almost positive Mary the mother of god to many people was maybe 13 or 14. Underage marriage laws, btw which I agree 100% with, are a relatively new idea. And we all know polygamy was also very legal during biblical times and was just recently, in terms of relativity, outlawed. We as as people have grown tremendously and because of progressive ideas things like marriage laws, children laws and other important issues have been settled, all on the side of the progressives btw. You do know this fact, right?

[King Mayan]

So you supported the guy who created the largest income inequality gap in the history of the country and crushed small business, personally I'd feel pretty stupid if I supported Obama. That's just me though, I own up to my failures.

And, you already know what I think about this liberal pos ad. Intelligent people hate the ad, idiots like it. The world keeps spinning.

Somehow obama created a depression while being jr senator... You stupid fukk

Never said id boycott General Mills.

Just said I dont like Liberals pushing there beliefs on me.

I can sympathize and understand this however these things when happening by corporations are no longer considered liberal beliefs they are what is happening in the country. Think of this for one second, these corporations are interested in one thing and one thing only, profits. They seldom take chances by doing anything that will turn off a significant number of people. My point is this, when coke or general mills make a decision to produce a commercial you can bet your life there was a ton of study and conversation about that commercial. They feel that the points the are attempting to make are now accepted by a large majority of the population, seldom do corporations change the view of the american people except in taste for products almost never involving social issues. Now the film industry and others engage in that but corporations are careful concerning image and want not only liberals but all shades of political people to buy their product. Agreed we have exceptions to this but mostly they are tremendously careful when it comes to advertising and seldom take big leaps.

Perfect example of what I just mentioned in my above post. You think swifter would make this commercial 40 or 50 years ago, probably not. Not saying you would never see this then but they would be rare. However, today most people, people without serious hangups have no serious problem with that type marriage. Therefore, corporations think it is perfectly okay to produce such a commercial. They realize some people will object but they made a decision that that number will be so small it becomes insignificant. They don't care. The drift of thinking by the American people always, always leans to the progressive side of issues and when that happens in large numbers we see the reflection in every day life such as commercials and other main media presentations. It is just the evolutionary social progress of man and has been happening for centuries.

Oh know doubt it does come down to profit in the end,wont disagree with you.

I do think also,they like to target certain States and provinces,some are very Liberal others are very Conservative. Canada and the US are very similar in that respect.

I rememberduring the last American Election the majority of States voting for Romney were Southern States,and the Northeastern States were Obama.

Oh for sure, the southern US states are strong conservative and will be for a long time to come. However, every year they are getting weaker in number because attitudes of people are changing, demographics are changing. In fact some very red states of not long ago are becoming purple. Texas in one very good example. I may be wrong but I think the R are going to have a difficult time winning national elections. They will still do well in house representation because of gerrymandering, but both parties do that it is just an accepted practice.

But, if they do keep losing national elections that will only add to their distress because the supreme court will be packed with left leaning justices and lets face it nothing more powerful than the supreme court. They make the final decision on almost everything that is important in the country. They can influence the country more than any political party.

Your probably right,I honestly cant see it changing in Canada though,Western Canada is very Pro Conservative thats the way its always been.

I do wonder like you said with Texas,how would they react if say the Liberal government got rid of the Death Penalty for example,or banned fireams.

So...you are saying legalize polygamy and underrage marriage?

Or you just want to toss out marriage laws you don't agree with?

What????? Did you miss the point totally? Did you miss the BTW which I agree with underage marriage laws sentence. I will give you the benefit and believe you simply misinterpreted or read it too fast. My dad was a stickler for education you know what he would say to me when I would complain dad I don't understand this passage. "read it again," and "read it again".

No I understand it fine.

I also understand you think those laws should remain because outlawing polygamy and underrage marriage is progressive, yet legalizing formerly outlawed gay marriage is progressive also in your opinion.

My analogy is there are people who believe polygamy and a 40 yr old marrying a 16 yr old girl is fine and think this should be legal, but you somehow only believe gay marriage is progressive. Homosexuality is not a new argument either, but you want to portray that marriage being outlawed as unfair and archaic, but the remaining laws to be noble. I'll tell you one thing, polygamy and underrage marriage is a lot closer to a marriage than gay marriage

Just because something is a change doesn't mean it's progressive

The only difference is your personal opinion

You know you are misrepresenting my ideas and I don't know if you are being intellectually dishonest, if you are simply misunderstanding my statements, or if you are twisting them to make your point of view have some validity. I never said or even hinted anything about marriage being outlawed, I never said or hinted that gay is progressive. I simply said that the progressive side of a conservative/progressive argument is always settled on the progressive side. Now you and many others disagree and you will disagree my point is that the majority of the people in the country eventually and always settle with the progressive argument. So you are attempting to change my argument or are misrepresenting my presentation either consciously or not.
