Do You Boycott?

[DubaiSis]

I think not donating to a charity is not the same as boycotting. There are an unending number of very worthwhile charities and if one doesn't meet your criteria, it's easy to move on to one that does.

And I don't hate Republicans or Christians. Some of my favorite people are both things. And they aren't the only two groups that I don't agree with, but listing a litany of everything in the world I don't agree with would be long and silly. They're just the easiest for me to spout off. And by the way there are really very few people in my life who I have ever hated. One guy who probably had a crush on me in junior high because of how dickishly he treated me, a college French professor, and an ex-boss really are that entire list. The rest are people I just disagree with, though some I may disagree with vehemently.

Exactly.

Boycotting is going a mile down the road to the Shell station, even if there's a BP literally 2 feet from you with a cheaper price.

It is if you have organized events for that charity through your work that you won't participate in. There is more to charity than giving money as there is to boycotting. That is why I specifically said it comes up.
