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 applaud you for being so "off the cuff", you are unfortuantely right in your philosophy!!!Chat Icon

Starbucks.I think they are so overpriced.

Gap. All the Gap's I go to the sales people are snotty kids who think they know my sizes better then I do.

Frontier airlines. I would not send my worst enemy on that airline. Their customer service is horrible. They could care less about the passengers and all their flights are up and down with a connection in their main location of Denver.

I am sure their are a few others but just cant think of them at the moment

Nothing. I'm too lazy to skip a store because of their policies.

I used to boycott the NY Post because they printed a photo of Eric Clapton's 4 year old son dead on a rooftop. Now I just don't buy it because I think they're too skewed politically toward an Administration I despise.

DH boycotts Ben and Jerry's ice cream because they held some fundraiser to support a criminal. Same thing w/ Bruce Springsteen and Rage Against the Machine - all anti-cops.

I boycott Home Depot and real fur Chat Icon

Spike Lee movies - I heard him speak once in college and found him to be a terrible human being.

Ambercrombie & Fitch - I don't like their hiring policies.

Hmm, like jcrew for example? What did they do, besides capitalizing on the whole preppy lookChat Icon



they get their fur trim (although sometimes marked as "fuex fur" when its not) from dogs and cats in china

j.cruel



I had signed a petition about this and it made me sick to even watch that video. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I hate J Crew because they really suckered me out of a whole bunch of money. I won't go into details but I will never shop there ever again.

Dale and I won't buy foreign cars.

I find Newsday to also be very anti-teacher, so I refuse to buy their paper.

Re: Do You Boycott Anything?

i used to boycott walmart... but that's really difficult when you live in the south, and it's pretty much the only store for most things for miles.
