Note the use of OR. Obviously the companies do not write law, so it cannot be legally.
For the other adverb, have the companies involved OFFICIALLY prohibited the items from being sold? You know, as opposed to UNOFFICIALLY?
Dummy, "officially" means "by someone in office".
What, you actually think "officially" means the same thing as "actually"?
Tell you what, if I'm going to have to explain what words mean to someone, I might as well go right to 8chan to do it and we can skip remedial reading in the comments section of Slashdot. What do you say?
ban verb 1. officially or legally prohibit. "he was banned from driving for a year" synonyms: prohibit, forbid, veto, proscribe, disallow, outlaw, make illegal, embargo, bar, debar, block, stop, suppress, interdict; More noun 1. an official or legal prohibition. "a proposed ban on cigarette advertising" synonyms: prohibition, veto, proscription, embargo, bar, suppression, stoppage, interdict, interdiction, moratorium, injunction "a ban on soliciting"
Liar. If nothing has been banned, why is it impossible to buy the flag on Amazon and other big stores?
Because those stores have decided not to carry it. Wal-Mart also doesn't carry any 18 year old Laphroaig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, but that doesn't mean they've banned it. It's a business decision, you dunderhead.
Your friendly neighborhood gun shop or convenience store or KKK supply house can still carry Confederate battle flag for all your racist flag needs, because they have not been banned.
A private store's self-imposed ban is still a ban.
If LGBTQ content and merchandise was pulled from app stores and major retailers, there would be a mega-shitstorm that would shorten Earth's rotation by a whole minute.
Is the LGBTQ flag a symbol of racism? Has it been historically used to signify racism?
What are you on about with "LGBTQ content".
I think we're getting a pretty good picture here of the mindset of people who are put out by the recent decisions by stores and state houses to take down the Confederate battle flag. It is a mindset that has been severely degraded by methamphetamines and swallowing too much tobacco juice.
Thus proving that banning symbols does nothing about the ideology they symbolize.
Asshole, do you understand that the Confederate battle flag has not been banned anywhere in the United States?
You could even wear your battle-flag t-shirt with the mustard stains and burn holes into Wal-Mart and shop for bug spray to your heart's content even though Wal-Mart has made a business decision to stop selling them.
They most certainly mean "Civil War Re-enactments," as they are extremely popular nation wide
Is it really a "Civil War Re-enactment" if you buy your battle flag from Amazon? Do you think General Jubal Early had one-click buying turned on when he ordered his battle flags?
I actually know some Civil War re-enactment cosplayers, and they make their own uniforms and even have period-specific underwear and socks.
Does anyone else besides this knucklehead think that Civil War re-enactors are are going to be put out in the least from not being able to buy battle flags from Wal-Mart?
I have a very rational hatred of Thomas Edison, why is your wife's hatred of him irrational unlike mine?
Because my wife's hatred of Edison is based on the notion that he stole all his ideas from Tesla. My hatred of Edison is completely rational though, because that bastard electrocuted an elephant.
On the other hand, Tesla caused the Tunguska catastrophe, so he's got some baggage, too.
Here too. I see Teslas and Leafs and Chevy Sparks and Volts all over the place. Plus, I have to hear my wife say, "there's a Tesla, gee they're cute, let's get one" about 20 times every time we go for a drive. Personally, I think it's because she's of Serbian extraction and they have Nicolas Tesla on their money over there. She also has an irrational hatred of Thomas Edison, but I digress.
Cheaper lithium ion batteries is a good thing for a lot of reasons. It means I'm that much closer to taking my house off the grid entirely and giving the Big Fungoo to Commonwealth Edison.
First, the popularity of the Confederate battle flag being flown over the state houses of US states in the 20th century didn't start until the early days of the civil rights movement. Anyone who thinks it's a coincidence that Mississippi and Georgia and Alabama and South Carolina, etc decided to start flying the Confederate battle flag when black people started fighting for civil rights in those states probably thinks "it's all about states' rights and tariffs", too.
Second, the guy who designed the Confederate battle flag made it crystal clear in his own words:
"As a people, we are fighting to maintain the heaven ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race"
Yessir, those are the exact words written by William Tappan Thompson, the designer of said flag. Not "fighting to maintain states' rights" or "fighting to something something tariffs", but rather, "the heaven ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race". He even referred to it in his newspapers (because he was the founder of the Savannah Morning News) as "the White Man's Flag".
Now who wants to step up and tell me that the Confederate battle flag is not, in 2015, first and foremost a symbol of racism and hatred? The line forms right here in front of my fuzzy ass which is available for your kissing pleasure.
So it's apparently fine and everyone is in love with the idea of banning the Confederate Battle Flag but if it were a Rainbow GLBTQ flag they were banning there'd be charges of hate crimes.
You stupid sonofabitch, nothing has been banned. Some state governments have decided not to fly the Confederate battle flag over government properties any more. Some stores have decided, privately not to sell Confederate battle flags any more.
You wanna have a Confederate battle flag fly proudly over your meth lab, be my guest. You want to have a hundred and six Confederate battle flags in your next Klan parade, knock yourself out. Nobody from the government will come and force you to take it down. Are we clear on that now?
Governments can't be allowed to tell me who I can and can not associate with or do business with.
This is a good thing. Like Aldo "The Apache" Raines, I like to be able to see my Nazis coming.
And now the ambiguity of the Confederate battle flag being about "states rights" or "tariffs" or any other such happy horseshit is gone. When you see someone sporting a Confederate battle flag, you no longer have to wonder if he's a bigot.
Bailing out homeowners rewards those who bought when they shouldn't and does nothing but build resentment for those of us that rented until we could afford to buy.
So, it causes you resentment when your neighbors are helped out and can stay in their homes so they're not foreclosed and left empty for 18 months while it's in the courts?
Try not to be so resentful when people get help.
And a bailout could have simply taken the form of a two-month moratorium on mortgage payments while the courts do an interest rate "cram down" (as was suggested at the time by a lot of smart people).
If people who rent aren't resentful of you getting a nice fat tax deduction for your mortgage interest every year, why should you get resentful when other people get similar help? That's the thing about people who resent other people getting stuff: if you scratch the surface, you usually find out they're first in line for government cheese.
Yes, utility is ordinal. But we're not measuring utility, we're measuring price, which is objective exchange ratio: I give up $6, you give me an ice cream cone, the price is $6/cone. (A cost is also a ratio, but the usage is slightly different.)
You really have never taken an economics course, have you? You're making shit up right out of the seat of your pants.

Yes, and you will find a Confederate battle flag on their car, tattooed on their neck or flying over the fireplace in whatever hovel they live in.

By "historical display" do you mean a Klan rally?

Did you know that in Germany, where the swastika is banned, neo-nazi's fly the Confederate battle flag?
So, it causes you resentment when your neighbors are helped out and can stay in their homes so they're not foreclosed and left empty for 18 months while it's in the courts?

My problem was not with your use of exchange ratio, it was with this:
Contemplate this and get back to me.
You really have never taken an economics course, have you? You're making shit up right out of the seat of your pants.
It's not. It's a revolutionary approach to getting clicks on Slashdot.
