I used to be conservative...and not once did I think that we needed to censor anything....nor did any other conservatives. They don't want the government involved in their lives to that point. The ones who seem to want to tell others what to think and say are the liberals. On the liberal side was where I ALWAYS seem to hear the phrase, "there ought to be a law" when someone does something that others don't agree with. Just sayin...

The stupidity is continuing. We are now able to be converted to a police state very easily, rights thrown out the window. A law was created so that you can be taken into custody and kept, indefinitely, with no attorney, etc...and it passed! Look up the new laws created this last year. You'll be amazed! Makes this Paypal business PALE in comparison! Censorship is the least of our worries.

Now, Paypal making this statement and choice- well, let's just look at that for a minute. Paypal is not a government entity. They don't get their funding from taxes. I believe that they should be allowed to determine what sorts of transactions that they will support. This has nothing to do with rights. If you walked into my nail salon a few years ago, you'd have to abide by my rules, and that is how it should be. Paypal is saying the same thing. Corporations are not democracies. They get to make the rules, and your rights have nothing to do with it. Your rights come into play when you are dealing with police, or other governmental entities. If you don't like how a company is ran, you have the ability (not the right) to spend your money elsewhere.

Since Paypal says that I am too obscene to use their service for transactions...I don't need to use them! I have a credit card, I have a debit card, Google checkout...hell, some companies are setting it up so you can charge online purchases to your cell phone...there are many other options for me than to use Paypal.
