    People are protesting a billboard advertising a website encouraging and facilitating adultery. What is this world coming to?

    Some people don't have a conscience while others seem to be more concerned about the fate of a distant rain forest than their neighbor.

    Caring about a tree is pretty safe when compared to caring about another human being. Some people are too afraid to be hurt.

    Tis true, but I am not sure this has to do with Advertising Adultery, the topic of this thread Dillo?

    if you've ever been the victim of adultery (yes, I use the word "victim" deliberately), you wouldn't say "it doesn't hurt anyone"... it certainly does... especially if children are involved.

    I believe that, whenever an affair causes a divorce that the "third party" should also be held accountable (especially in the $$$$ department). Will it be enforceable, not very. Will it stop adultery, no.... but I'm sure it will give some people a reason to think twice about it. That's just my opinion, I'm sure you can shoot it full of holes.

    I think we can care about all these issues. I agree this company is being callous to human suffering. I think speaking out against it is good for our society. I also think trying to protect our enviroment is also good.

    You are going to blame this company for causing human suffering?

    This company is making a buck off of people who are willing to spend it to have extramarital sex. Dare I use the old mantra about teaching sex in school. They are going to do it anyway?

    The best way to teach kids about sex is with the truth. We need to teach them all the consequences of their actions and how to stay healthy and not spread disease. Teaching them the real consequences will teach them how to make the best decisions. Information is power.

    The billboard is merely giving out information. Is that power?

    And the people standing up and saying they dont like the information the BB displays are also giving out information. Freedom of speach works pretty well huh?
