Boycott , do you ... , by dotdot on Aug 20, 2013 11:26:49 GMT 1, It's a subject which rarely comes up on this ere forum.
So do you boycott anyone or anything and if so why ? For example laminate.
More interestingly if you don't boycott anyone , get your coat 
an interesting subject which re appeared yesterday by none other than Dalek (handle Dalek2013) , and the seemingly reappropriation of his work by none other than asics for something as tacky as a bag , rather sad but certainly helped me add them to my list , this kind of behaviour is not on.

Nike for poor labour practices. - The biggest
P&G for animal testing - big and bad
Walmart for many reasons
Yum brands (taco bell, KFC, pizza hut) only major fast food company in North America with no animal treatment standards. - Worst in class

Boycott , do you ... , by Deleted on Aug 20, 2013 13:26:28 GMT 1, Anything associated with Rupert Murdoch for the celebration of the lowest common denominator and the 'proud to be thick' culture that keeps people from asking questions.
Tesco - their total disregard for communities.
McDonalds.
KFC.
( I don't eat meat so the latter two aren't that difficult to avoid ).

Any movie with Julia Roberts. Just because.
Damien Hirst for his cruelty to animals. Mostly for his butterfly stampede exhibit.
There are more, but it's too early for me to focus.

I have no problem with them in particular(vs other 'tech' companies),but dont see why Apple gets a pass while Google,Amazon,Walmart etc get heat. They all use/benefit from 'cheap labor' and gauge Int'l tax laws to pay minimal taxes |

Boycott , do you ... , by Deleted on Aug 20, 2013 18:13:00 GMT 1, Iceland (the shop not the country).
Went in there the other day for the first time in years and never will again.
I've never so seen such a chav-fest in my life, I felt very out of place as I wasn't wearing a onesie and didn't have a 2 year old daughter with pierced ears called Mercedes with me
Still, it was interesting to see where all those people you see who wear their trousers half way down to their knees and have the latest Elizibeth Duke sovereign ring go to get their food from !

Every corporation pulls the same shit. The only solution is to legislate corporate ethics. But seeing as corporations own the politicians, I don't see that happening.
If we were to boycott every product made by a company with questionable business practices, we'd all have crops planted behind our log cabins, spending our days carving a new pair of shoes.
That said, I do avoid companies run by complete assholes. Chick-fil-a comes to mind.
