Businesses Shouldn't Dictate Morals

Tweet

Once again, there is a business sticking its nose in where it doesn't belong. Businesses need to stick to providing products and services not trying to tell the rest of us what is right and wrong and what we should and shouldn't accept as such. Inidividuals have every right to speak their minds and lobby for what they believe in within the legal system. However, businesses need to stay out of our private lives. Proctor and Gamble have now chosen to sponsor openly gay relationships on television in the hope of desensitizing young people to it. Raising children and teaching morals and acceptance is a parents' job not some corporation or the government or the entertainment industry's job. Homosexual activists are trying to force people into accepting their way of life as normal. It's not normal and I have no intention of ever accepting it as such. They have a choice to live that way and I have a choice not to agree with it. I choose not to agree with them and I'm tired of them trying to shove their way of thinking down my throat! I will be boycotting P & G as long as they insist upon trying to tell me what is right and wrong! I don't like having to do so because I use a number of their products. The one that is really going to be difficult to change is my toothpaste. I've used Crest toothpaste since I was a little girl and now almost 50 years later, I'm being forced into changing my toothpaste or relinquish my beliefs. I choose to change toothpaste. Businesses need to realize that they are not in business to tell the rest of us how we are supposed to live and think. They are in business to supply a product or a service. I have already emailed P & G about this and urge the rest of you who agree with me (not necessarily about the stand on homosexuality but about businesses not telling us how to live and think) to do the same. Keep in mind that even if you support what P & G is doing, if businesses continue to try to influence our way of thinking via their sponsorship of certain TV programs, etc., that one day they may sponsor something you feel strongly about. Advertisements and business sponsorship of various causes has a great deal of influence in this nation. They persuade people to buy certain things and participate in certain things. They use subliminal messages in doing so. When do they cross the line? When does what they are doing become detrimental to our country and our lives? Think about it...
