I don't know...CF has advertisements on their forum...I don't know how CB generates money...they are classified as social media I think.
So do you think the government should be able to regulate what's allowed and what isn't here? Or should it be a free-for-all no restrictions on free speech? If YouTube and Facebook don't have the right to censor as they see fit, why should this site?

I am an ANTI-Government Rebel.....lol.
I love my country...I am 100% patriotic and loyal to America.
I just don't trust the government anymore....
I didn't even submit my form for that stimulus money. I don't want anything from them. God is my source...I was born in 1959 have watched Big Government get bigger and bigger with each election...and more corrupt as well.

Because both of those companies receive huge profits from their sites...and it riles me good when I do a Google search for an item and immediately I start seeing ads on Facebook for that same thing....they are profiting off each other passing our info around to each other.

You and historyb are starting to sound like socialists.

Think again, if you think that you are not to bright or your being sarcastic. I hate Government, all of it now
You were sounding like a socialist or fascist who wants government to tell Facebook and YouTube they must post what you approve of.

So you're leaning to anarchism? If the government doesn't do what you want, you'll hate it? Are you the only person who matters? You are against democracy now? I did not vote for Trump; but he was elected fair and square. I don't hate him or the people who voted him in. I don't hate the government even when I disagree. I don't get to decide what happens since we hold democratic elections.

Tread carefully lest your wrath fills your soul and carries you off.

Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

I am a loner....I don't socialize very well with others in person anyway....lol

No sir, I am not a socialist, I am not a democrat, nor a republican, nor a capitalists, nor anything related to this world.

I am not of this world! Don't you get it? My King, My Lord is who I serve and who I obey.
I don't serve 2 masters.

So why does worldly things anger me so much? because it is the enemy who is behind it that is angering me....Satan and his demonic realm creating division and strife and all manners of evil and lust and greed.

Did not say it nor imply it, that is all on you. Stop assuming and ask next time.

How do you interpret that passage from Romans? What about what Jesus said?

Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

So why does worldly things anger me so much? because it is the enemy who is behind it that is angering me....Satan and his demonic realm creating division and strife and all manners of evil and lust and greed.
Why would that make you angry? So far as I can see, everything is going according to Heaven's plan. From the days of Noah, Satan has been losing ground. It just takes time. All is well.

It is sad, of course, when people choose evil over good; but the only way people can learn is by allowing them to experiment the way the father of the prodigal son did. Some people will have to experience crushing disasters before they will admit they're on the wrong path. In the end, like the prodigal son, many will discover they the option.

It angers me because of the people it hurts....and the deaths it causes.

Huh? You said maybe I wasn't too bright. I tell you now you just convinced me you aren't the sharpest blade in the drawer right now. I don't know if that's your usual state or if you've been smitten by stupidness; but I did ask you. You didn't answer me.
You don't believe in free enterprise? You want the government to dictate to YouTube and Facebook what they can and cannot do?
I think you need to get a grip if you call yourself a Christian. Your mind is going. If you are miserable, coming here and trying to make other people as miserable as you isn't going to make you any happier. Maybe if you tried to be a little nicer to people, a little less complaining, a little more concerned with trying to help others out instead of complaining -- maybe if you were nicer, people would be nicer to you back. Your life might be better. You could wind up suicidal if you persist on this course of venting here.

You ignored my question when I was trying to have a discussion with you. Then when I mentioned you in a post to Heart2Sou, trying to have a conversation with you, you responded to that rudely. That kind of communicating with other people is not gong to make you happier. It's going to make you more miserable.

Anger is the emotion we feel when we believe that being rational won't work. We're tempted to smash things, to insult people, etc. Generally speaking, anger make things worse not better. We may become like what we detest.

Getting angry about people being hurt or deaths is not solving anything. It's just an emotion -- and an emotion that can harm you without doing a lick of good for anyone else. Yes, I sometimes feel anger and sorrow -- but I try not to not allow them to govern me. I do my best not to let it "out." Ha, we don't explode if we're angry and don't show it. We may feel like we'll explode, but we won't.

I might have to explain it in a PM someday...
