i wouldn't call it a boycott because i don't care if other people go in there. i'm not trying to get other people to join me in protest or anything. i don't care if the business knows that it bothers me or not. but if i disagree with them in principle, i won't go in there.

a local bar that does a band dirty

a national chain that spends millions on a moral/political issue i disagree with

a worldwide brand that assembles its most popular product in a country where people would rather kill themselves then continue to work there (iphone/china. and they put in giant nets to catch the jumpers. they won't even let you die, but they'll cut that baby right out of you. hypocrisy)

diamonds bought with blood and the artificial inflation of prices through control of supply.


honestly, if Chick-fil-A is anti-gay marriage, they have a right to say so. i'm not gonna be the one to change their minds, anyway. but i don't want my money supporting any political/moral stance, particularly one they have no business talking about. i liked the dixie chicks alright, but i don't care if they hate bush, just sing. i like chick-fil-a's food, but they'd be better off supporting a charity and doing something positive. their position on being closed on Sundays directly affects me, though. so fuck em.
