Thread Name: BS: My own personal boycott
Subject: RE: BS: My own personal boycott
You might be better serving if you try to make the world better by volunteering in whatever country you live in. Get involved with orphans or the elderly or aids victims or the homeless. Donate money to these worthy causes, write letters to your politicains telling them of your thoughts. SOrry but this boycott of these companies sounds like it is an attention getter. I am in America. I am an American, and proud of my heritage as a place that has welcomed people from everywhere in the world to come and live. I am not a pain in the ass flagwaving nationalistic nutcase, but I have travelled a fair amount in the world and am happy to go home to the USA. I do not agree with every political decision that this administration or the last one either makes or represents, but in my country, we have the freedom to effect change by voting. It still is a majority rule country, so not everyone gets there way all the time.
