- 323 4y agoYou're the one saying it's desirable to make it illegal for car companies to have their own brick and mortar stores. If you were consistent, then you would support making it illegal for Apple too.

If you were consistent, you'd argue that it should be legal to have sex with a 5 year old since it's legal to have sex with a 25 year old. If you were consistent, you'd argue it should be ok for anyone to send your children to a room in their house since you're ok with sending your children to a room in your house. If you were consistent, you would be ok with anyone sleeping with your spouse since you sleep with your spouse. --- Well it turns out I'm not consistent, sue me.
