WHAT DO YOU BOYCOTT?

What do you Boycott?

What do other Freepers boycott? Where do we put our ideological beliefs into economic practice? There seems to be a multiple calls to boycott this or that, but seriously how many things can a person boycott? The lists seem to be endless and for sanity sake I think I tune most of them out. I tend to have two lists. For example I haven’t worn a pair of Levis (or Dockers) for many years, due to their support of the homosexual agenda over the Boy Scouts. The following is my serious list:

United Way (since ’78!)

Levi Straus

Berkeley

San Francisco Chronicle

While I sometimes jump on a boycott for a week or two they tend to fade with time…Some survive. A more informal list of things I avoid but perhaps not as stridently, are as follows:

Florida Orange juice (remember when they dropped Rush?)

Dan Rather

Jane Fonda, Ed Asner, Woody Harrilson, etc

Time Magazine

Bob Dole (?? When Bob refused to support Ollie North, I vowed to not support Bob!)

Ben & Jerrys

 

On the flip side I’m going to Disney Land this year. Sorry Baptists!

Click on the link below and go down to Item #6 "United Way". The first link in that section to "The Scouting Legal Defense Fund" page also contains a list of corporations that have dropped funding for the Boy Scouts.

Click here for nationwide information on how to locate and support your local Boy Scout Council. Also, see if your local United Way has stopped funding the Scouts.

Oh, and I also boycott United Way as well. I remember working at a company (which will go unnamed) about twenty years ago, and when the annual United Way drive came around I was literally FORCED into giving. I told my boss time and time again that I didn't want to give (I was not even getting by at the time, for God's sake I was LIVING IN MY VAN BECAUSE I COULDN'T AFFORD RENT!) but I got called into his offec and was then told that I had no choice, I could either donate or I would BE FIRED! The department was going to have a %100 donation rate no matter what, and if I didn't donate then I would be fired, and then their donation rate would remain at %100. So I donated, even though I didn't have the money to give.

From that point on I have burned with an intense hate toward United Way. As far as I am concerned they stole money from me when I could least afford it, and now that I'm well off I won't give them one dammed dime of my hard earned money. A pox on United Way, let them go out of business, I despise them with every bone of my body.
