Some that come to mind are Block Buster, Motorola, BlackBerry, Quiznos, and WNBA.

My biggest gripe with most companies nowadays is that they refuse to take a stance on anything, instead caving to pressure from special interest groups, minorities, and the media.

I applaud Nintendo for sticking to their guns and not planning to include gay marriage in their life simulator game Tomodachi Life, even though they've taken a lot of heat for it in the media lately.

To be fair, was the WNBA ever THAT popular?

You seem like the worst person. Defending a racist in another thread and praising someone for excluding gay marriage.

And you seem like a person who cannot comprehend what they've read. I neither condemned nor defended gay marriage in my statement above. I simply applauded a company for not changing their stance on a particular subject due to outside pressures. It was simply an example. If Nintendo believes gay marriage is wrong, then that's their right to do so. Nobody has the right to force their contradicting opinion on them in order to satisfy their own agenda. I myself, don't care about gay marriage either way, but I damn sure care about the gay and lesbian community making it a habit of forcing their agenda on the rest of those don't agree.

And in regards to the Sterling thread, I never once defended him or his views. I'm simply defending his right to privacy and that there should be laws in place to protect people from employer punishment when their private conversations are illegally recorded and leaked to the public. Courts cannot use audio recordings from law enforcement to convict a person of a crime if the proper warrants were not obtained first. The same protections should apply to private conversations in your home.

See, I happen to care about the freedoms we have here in the USA, and it worries me that privacy is slowly being taken away by both the government and ourselves.

That last line has me convinced that you're Glenn Beck.

What you're doing is excusing ignorance and hate by invoking patriotic bullshit about the 'good ole U-S-of-A". Yes, you have the freedom to be ignorant. But to encourage that and excuse it is pathetic. Any company or person has the right to be as ignorant and hateful as they want. But society doesn't have to put up with it, nor should they.

I damn sure care about the gay and lesbian community making it a habit of forcing their agenda on the rest of those don't agree.

Squaresoft became Square/Enix and now the company is crap according to many gamers. I was never a RPG fan but I remember many people going crazy for the RPGS from Squaresoft for Super NES and PS1. Nowadays people just complain about how bad the company really is.
