You're just about as bad as Imran. I never claimed a general rule. If you think so, you need to evaluate how you interpret what people claim.

Considering your reputation on these boards, perhaps the only delusions stem from your mind, the Kidiverse, as it is .

That's your belief in relativism. You think just because someone believes something it's true.

I wasn't the one that said Best Buy has to allow people full free speech as long as it does not disturb anyone .

I was being polite. I was referring to your vague and shifting claim as a "general rule" because that sounded nicer.

quote: Originally posted by David Floyd That is of course correct, Imran, but the 1st Amendment really does not apply against corporations. The wording states "Congress", and the 14th Amendment, by virtue of the, IIRC, Gitlow decision, incorporates the 1st to apply against the states.

Corporations, however, are creations of the government. Therefore, Congress would be within it's rights to restrict their speech.

Re the question of media corproations: as lessees of public property, the Federal government is within its rights to require that these specific media corproations don't practice censorship for political reasons. They don't, but they could.

That's a different argument. It doesn't deny that corporations are within their rights to restrict speech on their property.
