I don't understand why this is marked down. This appears to be a legitimate question. Is there a glitch in this system or is someone trolling?

You bring up a very good point. Are there any objectivists who do not consider themselves atheist? If so, then how can they reconcile the two?

The definition of "sexy" depends upon a cultural viewpoint. It is not fixed. Amazon is free to decide what it wants to sponsor, or not. An atheist objectivist,(one too many descriptive words here) certainly should not be concerned.

Thank you for the input and the +1

I have read a few Rand's writings, including Atlas, and I would vehemently defend Amazon's right to ban or not ban anything they choose. I am only talking about the power of free choice on the part of consumers to rebel. What I worry about is the idea that one of the most successful entrepreneurial ventures in history (Amazon) would fall prey to the false political correctness of trying not to offend only one group of people and completely ignoring another, probably out of fear of physical repercussions. Obviously Catholics are not going to rise up and attack an Amazon warehouse. Yes, this is the world we live in now, however it is just disheartening when I see a business, who's job it is to simply increase value for its investors, make terrible political choices. Just makes me sad...

Hmmm... I am a producer, so it is available to me... Sorry about that...
I have no reason to doubt the message. You may wish to talk to an administrator, or consider becoming a producer if you find it of sufficient value.

I have scanned your history, found nothing blatantly offensive and that you have less than 100 points. If I recall correctly and it is still the case, you gain more options and privileges once you acquire 100 points. I will help. +1 :)

Yes, the PC world has run amok and I find it quite unsettling as well, but I would not want people telling me how to run my business, who to sell to, or what to sell. So if you are a student of objectivism and respect the choices Hank Rearden and others in AS made... you see where I am going with this. I am assuming you have seen the movies or read the book or you would not be here...

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I will answer what I can.

"What is a sexy burka costume?"
It definitely deserves a pretend flogging from someone wearing the male version of the costume.

The edit feature is telling me it is for Producers Only, so I guess posting URL's won't work without that distinction.

I certainly agree with you on the market forces comment. I found myself feeling more enraged than I would expect when seeing this article then finding what I did on the nun costumes. I am an Amazon shareholder, and of course have purchased a ridiculous amount of products from them over the years. I actually wrote to their corporate office my displeasure in their choice to do such a thing and threatened to liquidate my stock and buy elsewhere, hoping to hear an official response. I'm mostly confused by my own overreaction to this since I am a complete atheist... Wanted to hear others' opinions.

Hello unitedlc,
Paste the link into the box marked "URL (optional)"
Since you are the author of this blog, you may still be able to use the edit function at the top of the page and do so.

I don't know if an objectivist should care; it is their business. I am satisfied to let the market forces take their course one way or the other. I would like to see more competition and suspect as time goes by Amazon will receive it. I understand Walmart is seriously gearing up their online operation.

Double bags.

What is a sexy burka costume?

Thong bikini with a bag over your head?

This was my first question to ask the Gulch, so I wasn't sure how to imbed the article in the headline. Here it is: https://www.rt.com/viral/361876-amazo...

The article doesn't mention the nun costumes, I did personal research to find that...

I gave up on Amazon when they banned confederate flag burkas.
