Do you ever boycott things? If so, what?

[Jason314]

Hopefully this thread won't turn into an advertising board, so just list them as generic items (ie. milk, not Brand X milk).

Fish. I didn't eat fish from ages 3-21.

Cigarettes

I won't even put a fake one to my lips. I am so opposed to them that I won't even touch them.

Step 1: Check the Boycott Left 4 Dead 2 groups.
Step 2: Count the people in the group playing L4D2.

Hurray! I'm so in favour of you opposing them that much. I thought I was the only one who hates fake cigarettes that much.

 

[AmberCutie]

I hate all cigarettes. Real, fake, bubble gum... no likee.

 

[AlexLady]

Oh I'm with you guys there. I'll admit though, the candied sticks sold as cigarettes are pretty tasty but I wish they'd come in other names.



Also; Apple products.

 

[pyrite1965]

Anything made by Apple, or ATi.

I boycott ambers ass. Sharpies have been in there.

I have no problem with fake cigs, but I boycott tobacco and most drugs.

Israel. I haven't had a bagel since I was 8. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_League_boycott_of_Israel



Just kidding. It's actually illegal for Americans to support said boycott.

It's actually illegal for Americans to support said boycott.

O.O

It's Illegal to boycott something?

And why the hell would Arab's boycott Israel when it's their holy land too? Or is it supposed to be of all things Jewish? Then it makes sense for there to be a law against supporting it...

 

[bawksy]

Yeah no joke. American companies can get in deep shit if they comply with requests to not do business with Israel or to only provide goods without Israeli parts.

[LadyLuna]

The thing that makes me go wtf is that there even needs to be a law about that...

Damn people can be hateful...

 

[bawksy]

Well before the law, many American companies participated in the boycott because it was bad business not to. McDonalds for example, participated in the boycott for a while even AFTER the law was enacted, preferring to pay the fine rather than lose business in all those Arab countries.

And it's not really that hateful to show protest against one of the only countries left in the world with a racist, apartheid government. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_apartheid_analogy

Anything from Activision. Hence why I've bought Call of Duty 4:MW and Call of Duty: MW2 used.

Seriously, fuck them.
