is "offensive" to someone, hide your god! or when they start burning books and making people that don't think the way they do get "reeducated"? TRU is a TOY STORE, no where on the sign does it say Children's toy store. if this lady is so damn offended by seeing the dad from Malcom in the Middle wearing a bowler hat on one peg (probably at least 5' from the floor) of an isle that has probably eight hundred figures, maybe she should just stay home so the rest of us can live our lives without the constant fear that she'll go out of her way to be offended by us. (P.S.) other than LCS's where else has anyone seen BB figures? I think it would be safe to assume that TRU is there largest retail outlet? yeah? well I hope this wonderful treasure of an activist woman in Florida plans to help anyone that looses there job over her being "offended". remember when you see something on a shelf that you might not agree with, you can exercise your freedom to ignore it, or you can raise a stink, get it banned (like a certain group of Germans in the 30's) and cost people there jobs, the choice is yours.

And there's Godwin's law.

You do realize, you're comparing actions of a group of people civilly commenting on an aspect they didn't like with a petition and a company deciding that it doesn't effect their bottom line in agreeing in their request to government action that led to genocide right?

No where is anyone, not even this Florida mother, advocating for there to be laws about censorship put into place right?

It does not compare at all, whatsoever. If anything, it's all parties still exercising their rights to free speech and doing their own actions to which serves their interests. No where at all is government getting involved at any level in this. It does not compare at all. No where is anyone 'banning and burning' the figures from reaching your hands through alternative means or other stores. It is one chain deciding it doesn't harm their sales and is still their right to decide what to, or in this case not to sell. All handled rather civilly at that.

As much as it's our right to discuss said action in a civil manner.
