PayPal cancels North Carolina expansion after new state law defies gay movement
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/06/16 | Dan Calabrese

It is happening again. They've got it down to a science and it works every time, so why should they stop?

As much as you’re paying attention to what actually happened - PayPal hops on the corporate self-righteousness/pandering bandwagon by welching on a commitment it made to expand in the state mere weeks ago - pay attention to how USA Today approaches the story, particularly the words it uses:

PayPal is canceling its planned North Carolina expansion due to the state’s new anti-gay law, just two weeks after making the initial announcement.

Why does letting a man pee next to your daughter have anything do with purchasing and paying for online transactions?

What about PayPal offices in Qatar, Moscow and Malaysia where LBGTs are treated a lot more harshly?

I just called and cancelled my Paypal account. I told them if they can vote with their wallet, then so could I.

Hypocrites, as they deal with countries that hate us anyway, Cuba in particular....

Truthful research. The Bible says righteousness exalts a nation and “if my people . .” I can’t understand our corporate sellout to the most despicable behavior possible. These companies are contributing to the destruction of American families.

Don’t use PayPal and never will as long as they continue with this hatred towards children.

They are willing to do business in places which are hostile to the whole celebrate diversity celebrate LGBT liberal meme, but issue a throwdown on an American state which passes a regulation which simply reinforces the status quo on bathrooms and locker rooms.

NC residents are much less likely to call "fatwa" on you, hunt you down and remove your head!

I don’t think so. Maybe? I was already logged in when I did the search for the message board.
