[PakPuk]

Yet again another 'business' takes a political stance, just like how Google and Apple celebrate the ruling on gay marriage.

Berlin (AFP) - Online retail giant Amazon said on Thursday it will donate the profits from the online purchase of a tune released by the far-right anti-migrant PEGIDA movement to refugees in Germany.

Excellent. Someone doing with their own money what they want to do with their own money.

Good for Amazon. You don't like it?... don't shop on Amazon.

Why does Amazon have to take a political position? Can't it remain neutral?

Refugees aren't "illegals."

Because they want to. Don't like it? Shop elsewhere.

They can, but they choose not to.

The leftist view of refugee is my view of an illegal immigrant. Anyone who illegal enters and leaves safe countries to go somewhere for economic gain is an illegal immigrant. Have you got anything else to say or will you continue to police my language?

Where will Amazon make up that $9.73 of lost annual income?

It is a political attack. It is like telling people who buy communist flags on Amazon if you buy that flag because you support it then the profit from you buying that will be transferred to an anti-communist group. What do you think will happen to the sale of the flags? It will decrease.

"Refugee" is a legal status with a definition. By law, "refugees" are not "illegal imigrants."

So what? It's their product to do with as they please.

Illegal immigrants cross safe countries for economic gain. Under the new politically correct terms anyone who lives in poverty is a 'refugee'.

Just the big corps taking the leftist position once again. Just shows you who really runs these businesses.

Why do you care what others do with their money when it has absolutely no effect on you OR any negative effect on ANYBODY?

Um, no, that's simply false. Why do you feel entitled to just make up new definitions for words?

We'll i don't know about "these" business, but Amazon is run by Jeff Bezos. If you don't agree with him don't shop at Amazon. That'll show him.

Refugees (real ones) seek refuge/safety. Illegal immigrants cross safe countries in order to economically benefit.

I guess "not getting killed by ISIS" could be considered an economic benefit.

You're embarrassing yourself.

If someone likes a communist flag for themselves... or hell a nazi flag for themselves to put on their wall, they hurt no one. If someone spews hate for a profit like that PEGIDA movement people apparently do... well...

Kind of not a really good comparison.

I am simply saying corporation after corporation takes the same political position. Just shows you who runs them.

Spews hate? You mean campaign for border controls?

They get killed by ISIS in Greece? Serbia? Hungary? Stop being ridiculous. Leftists don't seem to be able to answer that simple point. Why do they leave safe countries? Or will you say all of these European countries are not safe?

These ^^^ are the ones your article was referring to.
