Of JW's and cab drivers.
January 25, 2020 at 11:36 am
So just now I call my regular cab driver to take me to the store, and she knows I am an atheist, not that she is. Buts procedes to tell me one of her calls were JWs who pestered her with the word of Jebus. I told her what I tell anyone. I cant stop anyone from selling bad logic, and I will always be for human rights. But damn it, I don't care if you are selling magazines, candy bars, girl scouts, encyclopedias, vacuum cleaners or Jesus, Alah, Yahweh or Vishnu, DON'T BOTHER ME AT MY DOOR!
Even theists get annoyed by invasion of personal space. So hate of invasive advertisement isn't an evil atheist plot.

If someone came to my door and was selling Girl Scouts, I would stab them in their fucking eyes, and set those young girls free!

Does a taxi count as ‘personal space’?

Hey, they're free range Girl Scouts.

Evidently it's a captive audience space

I wouldn't stab girl scouts but it would still be annoying, I can by cookies at the grocery stores too.

But wouldn’t it also count as a business space? I’m not really sure that what happened with your cabbie is really the same as someone knocking on your door.

Ebstein's "Girl Scouts" are caged, not free range.

I didn't bring up free range either.
My only point, regardless of religion, politics, or door to door product, DON'T knock on my front door. I get enough ads on my computer, on my TV and in my mailbox on the side of my street. Leave my door alone. Charity, politics, vacuums, if I want something, I can find it, leave my door alone.

No, but you brought up people selling Girl Scouts. Are you advocating child slavery?
