What do you boycott?

Re Google, I've been using Bing lately anyway.

that is disappointing. if true, i guess i'm going to have to find something else, too.

Don't forget gmail, GoogleEarth, GoogleMaps, Google News, GoogleDocuments, YouTube, the Android operating system, etc.

Re-visiting this thread.

A Chick-fil-A is coming to my town. I had two job interviews, then was told I wasn't "the best of the best." I think the fact that I graduated high school killed my chances of working the fryer.

Am I going to throw a fit and say, "If I'm not good enough to work for you, you're not good enough for my business!" Nope. For one thing, without the job I don't have money. My wife does. I'll spend hers. Besides, them chicken sandwiches are just too good to give up. It's been hell living in this state without them for nearly eight years.

So, I still don't give a **** enough about anything to boycott anything, and I sleep just fine.

To make a long story short,

Too late!

You are now my favorite poster.

Sure, that has all the value of 2003 Mike Maroth, but still!

And still, if BP's the last gas for 50 miles ...

I've driven past with the low fuel light on before. If I have to push my sled to the next station, so be it.

Right.

I still don't use portions of SportsJournalists.com that attempt to be content specific.
Anything Goes or not at all.

Right.

You forget that down here it is a more localized and personal event. If some random company **** all over Chesapeake Bay, I'm guessing you and your neighbors would hold a grudge longer than Bob from Casper.

I've not really thought about it much, but I actually boycot a lot:

Exxon (Valdez)
BP (Gulf)
WalMart (obvious reasons)
Chik-fil-A (obvious reasons)
Fox News (obvious reasons)
Drudge Report (duh).

No, I don't live in a cave. I live in a large city where I'm able to buy a lot of local and state products and go to restaurants owned by local owners. I read a lot of labels before purchasing. I have no trouble dressing or feeding myself under these parameters. As for United Dairy Farmers, the boycott goes back to their enormous financial support of an extreme right-wing group that favored censoring art and free speech. Not to mention that one of their other companies, Chiquita, has been proven to be guilty of many crimes, up to and including murder in some of the countries where it operates. Try Googling it.

Made me think of Dole and this:

Showers. I boycott showers.

Baby or wedding?

Golden?

Well, Marriott is a big purveyor of alcohol.
Some Mormons are more devout than others.

In-room porn also used to be big before it stopped offering it a few years ago.

More like the Internet killing another once-reliable cash cow.

I do every night knowing one is not in my house.

It isn't a boycott if you wouldn't buy it anyway.
