Backlash over PayPal decision to cancel NC expansion [NC Leaders Fighting Back!]
WISTV.COM ^

Posted on 04/06/2016 6:38:36 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

When PayPal announced plans to expand in Charlotte, it made headlines by promising 400 jobs and millions of dollars in payroll.

Now PayPal is making bigger headlines nationwide as it backs out of the deal with Charlotte, citing the recently passed House Bill 2. PayPal said the law violates their values and principles concerning equality...

Congressman Robert Pittenger...released a statement saying, “PayPal does business in 25 countries where homosexual behavior is illegal… yet they object to the North Carolina legislature overturning a misguided ordinance about letting men in to the women’s bathroom? Perhaps PayPal would like to try and clarify this seemingly very hypocritical position.”

Only problem is, the bank that issued your credit-card probably supports all the same crap.

Their Muslim customers in this and other countries all need to be informed of this, and urged to sever ties with all such corporations that support this abomination.

Once some financial throats start getting cut over this sort of thing, the rest of those corporations will cowardly run away from their newly found "social enlightenment."

Wow, so that's what sanity sounds like!

Facebook is also pro-homo.

BOYCOTT Paypal use. Do not buy through Paypal

Is there a safe alternative for E-bay purchases? I was just about to open a paypal account.

The STATE should go a step further, Because PAYPAL supports and does business in all these countries that Execute Homosexuals, we are BANNING them from Doing business in our State over their Support for Blatant Abusive Human Rights Violations.

I agree. BITCH SLAP arrogant companies who think they have a right to impose their morality on others. Make examples of a few of them, and the rest will get the message not to F*** with you.

I just sent PayPal a short note (through their “feedback” system as their message center is not working) that I am suspending use of their services until they stop bullying people (viz., the citizens of North Carolina).

This could very well put the final nail in eBay’s coffin. They’ve been having real problems lately and since they own PayPal, this decision could really put them in a bind.

Facebook is one of the five most destructive forces on the planet IMHO.

Another that strongly pushes the gay agenda is Coke. And their Chairman is a muzzie.

Here is a list of the major corporate sponsors for the Human Rights Campaign (the largest LGBTQ agenda group):

We should be trying to figure out ways to wreck and destroy it. Yes, it's horrible. Not only does it waste people's time, it spreads horrible crap everywhere.

It is like an ongoing Nazi mob that never sleeps.

There’s a spiritual battle happening here.

One problem, and I am as vulnerable as anyone, is that everybody seems to go charging in on their spiritual Clydesdale stallions and nothing much actually happens except for people knocking one another off of these high horses, a lot of hurt feelings, diminished credibility for the future, etc. We saw it happen when the first answers to the abortion crisis was the early Operation Rescue. Might have meant well, but didn’t think it out well, and more opportunities were blown than seized.

Such is the price of freedom of communication and a popular package to do it on (for having your eyes sold to advertisers, you get all this networking, free free free). Instead of complaining about garbage on Facebook, why not pack it full of gospel?

You have to actually cancel your account to make them notice. We cancelled our two accounts yesterday. I was amazed at the merchants I were still tied to those account.

Zuckerturd is a scumbag and Facebook is more than annoying.

I doubt that they'll miss me, but using PayPal just became inconvenient.

This is a local issue for me and I hope that NC can stay standing against the undertow.

Charlotte and NC are hotly contested territory and the transgender ordinance stakes another claim.

Which is kind of playing into the liberals’ mantras, however. They’re saying, too, how dare you lean on Big Bad Business to Impose Your Morals On Us?

How about rooting for the creation of “nice lists” and let naughty lists take care of themselves?

Anything truly good needs to look like God. It will, if it is genuine.
