He [Richard Dawkins] told the Guardian: “My immediate response was to tweet that it was a violation of freedom of speech. But I deleted it when respondents convinced me that it was a matter of commercial judgment on the part of the cinemas, not so much a free speech issue.

its how companies work. business is not nice, rational or fair. business is about people being selfish, making money and fck other people

humans are like that, we are nasty and selfish and ego-centric

we all are. its why religion never works
