Thanks alot!
I'm going to boycott these companies and their products for 5 years starting immediately, for their official supporting of the suppressive censoring Nazi regime in China. No Coke, no Big Mac, no chocolate bars, no Visa card. I haven't bought a newspaper for weeks. I'm not watching news on TV at the moment...
Is there anyone else doing so?
P.S: I had to censor my own topics title. I think I got a warning now...

Yeah I'm avoiding their products, but I'm doing so for ages now:
- Coke? - Milk is my answer!
- Big Mac? - Milk is my answer!
- Chocolate? - You know the answer!*
- Visa? - No thanks, I believe in that little money in my pocket.
- Volkswagen? - I prefer my bicycle!
And so on~
Olympic Games aren't about sports at all anymore, it's a competition of modern pharmaceutics embedded in a huge festival for certain business and advertisement branches; and now we all know China is a nice and peaceful country. Smile smile. ^_^

I guess I had enough of boycotts and protests back when I was young. They didn't do any good then, I doubt they do any good now. I respect what you feel toward them though....... If I boycotted all the companies who deal with the people I disagree with...... i would have to live in the mountains, and live entirely off the land.

Actually, I might be able to manage it. I only have a MasterCard, I prefer Pepsi, I enjoy a Snickers now and then, but I can live without them, too (I assume the whole M&M/Mars company is off limits). GE and Johnson & Johnson are a little tough, but they don't make anything I can't find by someone else. Rally's beats anything McD's makes. Yeah - it's doable.

I think I had a Snickers bar since last I posted. And some cherry Cokes. But I didn't pay for 'em! Well, not all of them.
