Mars, Inc. (M&Ms): The word "knife" isn't family friendly.

[jimlongley]

Someone please explain the term “family friendly” to me. I am not trying to be facetious, just trying to understand the limits. It seems to be a very subjective term to me.

Just watch their ads and you can see how they redefine it. Gangsters chopping them up, shady ladies picking them up, and so on.

hmm the M$M commercial where they are going to CHOP up the yellow mm to spread on ice cream is pretty violent...sure they were going use a knife

Progressieves claim to be family friendly except when members of the family are in the womb.

Mars is a private, family owned business. They are very secretive, do not allow employees to go out for lunch, employees are not supposed to talk about what goes on inside the plant. Visiting vendors are required to wear blindfolds when being escorted to the area they are visiting.

Seems to me like y'all are complaining because somebody is exercising their rights.

Or maybe the hypocrisy.

The fact that doing something is a right doesn't mean that doing it is right.

I'm not boycotting them or writing them nasty letters or trying to sue them. I'm simply expressing (in a manner that is totally unlikely to affect them in any way) the opinion that their opinion is ridiculous. Seems fair to me.

Every gun control organization that ever cast aspersions on gun owners was "exercising their rights." That doesn't mean we can't call them out on it.

The "just exercising my/their rights" defense has become the battle cry of people who don't understand what rights are (e.g., the person who defends his use of hateful rhetoric by claiming that critics are infringing on his right to free speech).

I didn't see anybody here complaining about the knife organization exercising their freedom of speech.

I don't know what else to add. Certainly everyone is entitled to express an opinion.

Do I have the right to have no opinion?
