Re: Do You Boycott Anything?

wal mart
fake or bootleg anything- movies, bags

edited to add why- I don't believe in what walmart does- they way the treat there people, the way the drive down prices by making goods cheap in china


and fake products b/c it's not right to the people who designed them or the people who make the movies

which one(s) do you want to know about?



or why in general? because of certain beliefs of mine they go against.

this is MY reasoning at least

Certainly not. I really want to know what the big deal is. everywhere you look things are made in china. I would never buy shoes made in china because they are waful, but other than that what's the big deal?

One of my sister's life missions is to help tibet, i try and stay away from china goods...I have just noticed that everytime I go to pier one, they have a ton of it.

ETA: hopefully pier one has changed,
I haven't been in there for years.

Re: Do You Boycott Anything?

I boycott nothing.

I am a firm believer in the fact that shi* ain't gonna change just because I dont shop at a certain place. I refuse to wear fur though, and will not buy products tested on animals. I wont buy my pets food from supermarkets or pet stores, because I feed my dogs natural baked food.

Some of you are going to flame me, but I couldn't care less about China.

I won't shop at Wal-Mart because of the way it treats its workers.
