But I have some good news, tho:

"Click" on Packinheatbear. Anyone that would advocate boycotting companies from a cut-and-paste list without justifying or specifying reasons deserves a "click".

The reasons speak for themselves skiracer.

Companies spend millions of dollars to market their product to everyone. Shouldn't they at least disclose what they are using my hard earned dollars for when I buy a product. I dont want my money to be used to undermine the constitution.

Sorry, but I must disagree. I don't know what's going on in Vermont, but Ben & Jerry's ain't what they used to be. Perhaps the workers aren't allowed to wear tie-dyes anymore, I dunno, but their flavors SUCK.


except Pistachio Pistachio!

At least I can take a position on something important unlike many liberals who refuse to support anything that doesnt affect them personally.

My point was that there are companies that use money to fight guns. As a consumer I should be make aware of this so I know how to spend my money wisely. I dont care if you like guns or not that is up to you. But when I spend my money I want to know where it goes. For all you icecream fanatics did you know B&J spent alot of money to fight gun ownership?

I guess gojo doent care that he spends money on gun control. That is fine but for those of us who dont want to spend money on it we need to boycott these companies.

What's the deal w/ Hallmark Cards? Don't they know sales go UP when body counts go up.

Levi's is another one. Bullet holes in jeans is bad fashion. The wounded will need more jeans...unless they're dead.

There are lots of people who would like us to have no guns. All over the world there are people who wait for that day and our big companies are helping them. Helping us to destroy ourselves.

What kind of name is ynami anyway?

I dont expect everyone to agree with me. I am degreed from a major university and I understand diversity. What I dont expect is for people to run along like puppydogs and never consider what they do. For you animal lovers out there would you spend money on companies that sponsor animal research? Probably not. Typical liberals.

I am about *this* skeert that somebody is going to take my gun away.

"Gun control", as an issue, is among the least of my political concerns.

well gojo when we sit back and dont express concern with what is happening, we can expect it to escalate until it is too late. My point is to keep my funds away from american companies that are trying to erode my rights as an american citizen.
