OP >> 90 to 99% of ads deceive and manipulate people into consuming a product
This thread has been characterised with the opinion from people like yourself that advertising is immoral, akin to lying, manipulative, deceiving etc etc <insert descriptor>.
My point stands - advertising is just an extension of social interaction. If you hate advertising, you essentially hate yourself since you advertise continually.
- ronaldx 12y agoAh, I see that you are ignoring and misrepresenting the point that I made. Good for you. Anyway, to respond to your point: I do not welcome advertising as an extension of social interaction, no more than I welcome someone shouting at me in the street as an extension of social interaction.
- ZenPro 12y agoNot misrepresenting anything. You are just incapable of accepting that advertising has a place in a market economy and that across society human beings are hard-wired to advertise, even if just using body language. You have somehow compared this to shouting at you. Whether you welcome advertising or not you do do it. Arguing against advertising is like arguing against breathing. Carry on downvoting me; I care a little above 0 about my karma score. It just shows me that advertising detractors cannot form a coherent justification for their views.
