I think Bezos can do what he wants to with his own money.

Where do he get his money? For you and others! Duh!

He already has more money than he can ever spend. They could lose their jobs over something like this.

Then he can put his money back into the company. After all, Bezos can do what he wants to with his own money

You are not consistent with your opinion. Fail! It's not the customer who provides any security for it's employment, it's the owners. You just decided you would support evil, nothing more.

Sorry, but I don't believe I am being inconsistent. Bezos is free to do what he wants with his money. So am I and so are you. I am also free to shop where I want to. As are you.

That sounds an awful lot like Obama's "you didn't build that." argument. (Although his grammar and spelling were better.) He did get his money from me and others, but just like I get a paycheck I am still free to do with that money what I wish.

Fail. It's not the customer who provides any security for it's employment, it's the owners.

So now let's talk about consistency. Above you argued that the money came from me and others. Now you are talking about security coming from the owners, not the customers. Sorry, but you were right the first time. No customers, no business. The money that the owners receive does not come out of thin air.

You just decided you would support evil, nothing more.

Really? So by shopping at Amazon, which provides jobs for 60,000+ people, the majority of whom, statistically, probably don't support gay marriage, I am supporting evil? I guess you would prefer to see all those people out of a job? Yeah, that would teach old Bezos. Of course he would never miss a meal.

Having said all that, I don't really care if you boycott Amazon or not. It is your choice and you are entitled to it. I simply don't think it will accomplish the goal and can even have detrimental consequences for many people who share our opposition to gay marriage.

Thought experiment: Say you were wheeled into the emergency room with a heart attack in need of immediate surgery and the only attending surgeon is gay. Would you prefer to die or to be operated on by that guy?
