Aloysius Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 I have a Kia... who owns that and what evil has my money thus gone towards? we need to start making our own companies to make our own products... we're enslaved and dependant to big business.

Paladin D Posted June 1, 2005 Author Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) Well come to think of it, there's still [b]Lexus, Toyota, KIA,[/b] and [b]Mitsubishi[/b] (not sure which company owns them). Though in time, there will be a reason to boycott them. Edited June 1, 2005 by Paladin D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleflower+JMJ Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 i agree, we can't boycott everything but we can sure as easily let them know what their doing is wrong and fight for change--all by being Heard :director: as Jim Caviezel said, "This society is a society of decline we can't allow what is happening continue to be allowed desensitizing us all through TV and movies. I see what is coming from the toilets 5 years from now and I'm telling you its not good and its getting worse. We can't be quiet on issues that attack our faith. We have to fight this battle thats raging" man I love that guy! :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philothea Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) The only way you'll be heard is to buy a whole lotta stock, show up at the annual meeting and make noise. That will take some serious money. And then the company will probably go under. Otherwise, your voice and abstention will be drowned out in the gobs of cash from people who don't know, don't care, or for whatever reason can't be picky. Edited to add: that said, you still have to follow your conscience. Which can make everyday life painful. But that's something we're used to.

[/quote] of course one single person might not be heard...thats why its good to have threads that spread awareness. you know who your dealing with.....which can make a world of difference i think we underestimate ourselves...thinking nothing can affect this monster comapny and no one speaks up....when really one could--just never tried before lots of times you'll be surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
