Re NAMBLA: I see that Amazon also sells Hitler’s Mein Kampf, Marx and Engels’ The Communist Manifesto, and de Sade’s Justine. Further reasons for boycott?
No. I make a distinction between works of historical importance and the current journal of a currently operating organization that is actively lobbying for the repeal of laws against pedophilia. Okay?
I won’t buy from sellers on eBay who type their ads ALL IN CAPS. Even if it is something I really want, I’ll look for it elsewhere before buying from caps-typers.

Darn. I hadn’t thought of that. 
Ma’am, I think I may have offended you, and I apologize for that, and if this response causes you any further offense.
I do hope you are aware that the U.S. Communist Party and the American Nazi Party are currently living organizations, the latter of which is directly or indirectly responsible for many murders of Jews and blacks each year.
Of course I advocate the severe punishment both of Nazi skinhead murderers and of child molesters. I do not advocate the suppression of their literature. If you feel differently, I do not wish to criticize you, merely to point out that I do not follow your logic in boycotting one item of revolting literature and not the other.
I boycott Ben and Jerrys as well as Snaple. Their support of cop killer Mumia Abul Jamal disgusts me. I also boycott Rage agaisnt the Machine and the Beastie Boys along with their record labels.
Microsoft, for their anti-competitive behavior and their efforts to conceal it.
Blockbuster, for their stupid if-you-don’t-rent-something-every-4-months-we-remove-you-from-our-database policy, and for the reasons mentioned by Zenster and Mr. Blue Sky.
McDonald’s and Exxon.
I should also boycott Nike, Shell, Unocal, and Chevron… but I haven’t gotten around to getting my self-consistency up that high yet.
I’m sure if I knew more there are quite a few companies I’d boycott in addition.
… Oh yeah, I also boycott Pringle’s potato chips, but that’s not serious, it’s just because their advertising really annoyed me once.
I agree, she was a whore. But she did make those cute little chipmunk noises when she gets really excited.
And, why, do tell, do you lump in the U.S. Communist Party in with those who are directly or indirectly responsible for many murders of Jews and blacks each year?
I boycotted Wendy’s for refusing to advertise during the coming out episode of Ellen. I have fallen out of that practice since Wendy’s is the only restaurant I can stomach at my student union…but I pay grudgingly!
I also sent back my JCPenney’s credit card over the Ellen issue, and have not shopped there in years.
I boycott Uniball’s threads.
Cracker Barrel
Red Lobster
Nike
Disney
**Zenster–KMart is anti-choice?
Little Caesar’s - they got rid of the 2 pizza deal, made their pizzas taste worst and overcharge everything.
Carl’s Jr. - it takes them 10 minutes to make one freakin’ burger.
Wal-mart - they drive out the smaller businesses.
Sony - everything I had made by them breaks down too soon or easily.
Arco - always fucks up the car whenever we used to fill up there.
Sizzler - first and last time I have undercooked steaks there.
Any shopping or auction website - no credit card
Nestles. (Baby killing) Also include Carnation, Swiss Miss, Stouffer’s, which are subsidiaries of Nestle.
Hardwood toothpicks, Mahogany of any sort, and other tropical hardwoods.
France, Belgium too, some days. (a whole bunch of stuff, having to do with international politics, and criminal enterprises.)
Anhouser Bush (Budwiser) their entire marketing thrust with the damn frogs was aimed at teaching very young children a brand preference. (Listen to five years olds, they all know the words.)
Diamonds, and gold.
These are the headliners. Other more local and minor vilians gain my ire from time to time.
I forgot to list Coors.
The Swiss Miss cocoa we have in the office says it is a product of ConAgra Grocery Products. Do you boycott ConAgra? (If so, what do you possibly buy as food? They own very many companies.)
I am surprised no one has mentioned Monsanto yet. Maybe I just wasn’t paying enough attention.
They don’t bother me, actually. The only organization I boycott is my local cable company for closing down their community acccess channel, thereby laying off many of my friends.
Puddleglum, “African Queen”, right?
Wal-Mart - Business practices, forcing competitors out of business
McDonalds - http://www.mcspotlight.org
Nike - Duh.
Jive Records - Kings of bubblegum pap
PETA - goin about it WRONG way, guys.
China - evilest-est nation on earth
Other places I can’t think of now.
–Tim
absoul I’m sure you meant those moaning noises like a haunted house on crack
I also am gonna start a boycott of every forum and message board except the Straight Dope, anybody with me?
punk snot dead,
broccoli!
