Paypal and the common good.

Thanks Leo, I couldn't quite work out why I felt uneasy about this petition, but you've spelled it out nicely. It'll need to be more specific before I'll even consider signing it, and even then I might not do so.
The problem with 'hate groups' is a proper definition and where does one draw the line? Could not atheists be considered a 'hate group'?
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

If you click on the link you provided, under the text explaining the petition you can click to read more, and then the list of the organizations pops up. They do seem pretty radical.

Quote:Should a financial service yield to public opinion who they should or should not conduct business with? Ideally, of course not. If they they break the law,it's up to law enforcement to prosecute them. I imagine that in the US, the Department of Homeland Security, with it's 250 THOUSAND employees, would be on that kind of thing like a dog turd on a shoe. However,ignoring such demands can cost MONEY so small business needs to comply. Theoretically, big companies such as say Microsoft can tell such arsewipes to go fuck themselves. You know, like our governments do to us; by pretending to do the opposite. 
If the customers take their business elsewhere, Paypal will comply with public demands. In all other cases, it's up to the whims of Paypal to decide how it composes itself. I don't see a problem with people boycotting things.
