Boycott the Census? That's silly.
2009-06-22 15:00:00 We're coming up on 2010 and that means it's time for the U.S. census.But there is a group of evangelical pastors telling undocumented immigrants they shouldn't be counted, according to a recent story in the Los Angeles Times. They are doing this as a form of reverse protest to call on the Obama Administration to push for comprehensive immigration reform.Huh? Yes. That's right. They want undocumented immigrants to have the opportunity to legalize but they don't want them counted in the U.S. census. It doesn't make any sense to me either. So I called up Flavia Jimenez with the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and asked her what she thought. She is the coordinator of their upcoming census...

Wendy’s Comes Off the Boycott List, but Wal-Mart Stays On
2009-05-22 23:50:00 That’s right, like every good American consumer, I have a boycott list. My list deals with companies that employ bad business practices or maybe I just don’t like the way they blend plaids and polka-dots. At any rate, the bastards don’t get my money. Wendy’s got on my list years ago because the company stopped advertising on Ellen when she came out. But maybe my kids can finally dig on a Frosty after ten years because Wendy’s made the move toward cage-free eggs. Maybe. Wal-Mart made the list a few years back thanks to bad labor practices. They haven’t aged well. Now Wal-Mart is banning albums for the fun of it. So Wendy’s and I can start texting again, but Wal-Mart is still dead to me.

I'm Officially Ending My Yahoo Boycott (Starting Today)
2009-03-04 19:23:00 Ever since Yahoo sold it's soul the mighty Yuan a few years back by illegally handing user information over to the Chinese authority (which resulted in this poor guy being tortured) I decided to boycott all things Yahoo. While this may seem trivial to Google fanboys (and girls), this meant that I had to give up some very useful services, like Del.icio.us, Flickr and Jumpcut. Even though Jerry Yang eventually apologized, I still didn't feel like placing my info upon their servers until I felt like the company actually cared about keeping it's users happy than about how many bearocratic rear ends they kissed. After reading about Yahoo's current spout with Belgium over user privacy (in which they are protecting the user rights of a few douchbags) I have decided to end my boycott by opening a new Flickr, Delicious and Jumpcut account, as well as unblock Yahoo ads online. I may even join Yahoo Publisher, although for now I am quite satisfied with Google AdSense. :-) -- Post From My i...

Another Company to Boycott
2009-01-16 20:24:00 Driving behind this holy-roller bothered me on several levels - 1) Those who really glorify Christ, don’t usually feel the need to broadcast it. 2) This company doesn’t hire any Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Agnostics, or Atheists? Only Christ glorifiers need apply? 3) It’s quite cynical to advertise for your business using the Christ card. And cynical isn’t Christlike. This company doesn’t deserve my business.

Utter Idiots and Why the United States Will Not Boycott the Beijing Olympic
2008-07-24 11:37:00 Okay, so I didn't really write this, but I have thought this so many times in my head that somehow my thoughts must have transferred nearly 1 to 1 to this post. The post is "Utter Idiots and Why the United States Will Not Boycott the Beijing Olympics" and with two very minor variations, it conveys my thinking, exactly. The two changes are that I would use a word weaker than idiot so as to offend a bit less and I am not as frustrated as the actual writer, Kai Pan. I also should credit Kai Pan for the history lesson regarding China's role in the 1984 Olympics; I have to admit I was not aware of that. During my first year blogging, those who accused me of being a Panda licker or a China hater angered me. During my second year of blogging they frustrated me. I am now indifferent, figuring those who make such comments either know not whereof they speak or simply have not been reading this blog long enough to know our actual views. Once I achieved indifference, I realized the o...

Why a Cultural Boycott of Israel is Necessary
2008-06-06 03:58:00 by Remi Kanazi At what point does rhetoric stop and effective action begin? For Palestinians, decades of dialogue and supposed peace overtures have proved fruitless, only serving to protect the status quo: sixty years of continual dispossession, forty years of occupation, and a systematic repudiation of international and humanitarian law. The situation for Palestinians will not improve without constructive movement forward—which rejects collusion with the Israeli government by exercising boycott, divestment and sanctions (known as BDS). During the 1980’s, BDS of South Africa included a cultural boycott whereby musicians and artists from around the world were prohibited from performing in the apartheid state. In addition to internationally supporting the subjugated black population, this policy was instituted to express that no real dialogue—economic, academic, or cultural—could take place in concert with the atrocities of apartheid. With regard to Israel, the implementation of ...
