[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I noticed you chose not to highlight - twice - the most important part “Falun Dafa”. Researching them probably would have helped you decide to not go to the performance. [/quote]
I was somewhat aware of Falun Dafa because I often see them meditating and exercising very slowly in parks. I never thought that they were as fundamentalist as the religious right. [/quote]
I think your only recourse is to contact the box office. Not sure you would get a refund but what else do you want at this point?[/quote]
I have serious doubts that I would get a refund. Probably raising awareness would be more successful. I was considering an open letter to Kennedy Center to terminate their association with Shen Yun. If Kennedy Center wants to be seen as a progressive institution they should not provide a respectable platform to a retrograde group. [/quote]

I thought being "progressive" meant accepting different religions (and cultures) whether or not you agree with it or not.

I don't understand why you think the Kennedy Ctr ahoukd distance themselves from them? Bc you personally found it insulting?
[/quote]
Because they are promoting an anti-science message. I can be accepting of any nonsense you believe in until you want me to accept it as a universal truth. We've been through dark times when the religious right was trying to teach religion in schools as an alternative to evolution. I don't want to relitigate that. [/quote]

So freedom of speech as long as you agree with the message?[/quote]
Where did I say that? I keep saying and I will say it again: spread your nonsense, but don't mislead me into supporting you spread your nonsense. [/quote]

Right here

Freedom of speech requires you to accept their right to tell you to believe. Further, their freedom of religion allows them to apostolize. If you don't like it, you need to find another country.[/quote]

Why are you giving op a hard time? She isn’t asking for them to be banned from performing- just that the advertisements, on their face are misleading. Which it seems they are.[/quote]

All advertising is misleading. Caveat emptor.[/quote]

Where did you get your law degree? https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/other/caveat-emptor-buyer-beware/

[quote]Although the caveat emptor principle can be applied to the purchase of any good or service, nowadays, it is primarily applied to real estate transactions. Most consumer goods transactions in different jurisdictions are regulated by specifically designed acts, while the caveat emptor principle is losing its significance.

In addition, the financial services industry is a major exception from the caveat emptor principle. Regulators require sellers of financial products to disclose as much information as possible to the buyers. Generally, the seller of a financial product is required to provide relevant information about the product in a standardized form.

The caveat emptor principle does not apply when the seller provides false information to the buyer, or when there is a misrepresentation of the product.[/quote][/quote]
