I'll never boycott any business for any reason, people sure but not a place of business. I'm so pro-free speech it's gotten me into trouble too many times to count. I get people are upset with [x] but what the heck does that have to do with [y] especially when all you're looking for is [z]? Silly the lot of ya!

even if that business did something illegal?

I've boycotted a few places. Some for causing damage to my business (copyright infringement), certain groups they support, if staff was rude to me...etc.

No, can't say I would. Any business that does something illegal will self-correct, and fire those involved. If everyone in that business is corrupt, the business will no longer exist, so there won't be anything left to boycott. Maybe.

The Fed? If so, that's almost impossible to avoid. Smaller Banks sure, but what's the point? I was being general with that op, so here's an example: If a business opened up around the corner with a sign out front that said, "No Gays, Jews or Blacks will be serviced here" and out of curiosity I walked in to see for myself if this lunatic was for real, and it turns out he/she is indeed, that wouldn't stop me from purchasing a Batman #1 comic that for some reason was priced $1.00 just sitting there on the shelf. Because in general.

I meant that it was funny thinking they'd go out of business because of illicit or illegal dealings.

in an earlier post you said you didn't care, as long as they have product you want.

so say that company is doing some illegal or very immoral things. you still wouldn't care and would still shop there?

Sure, why not? I've spent thousands on pot from Mexico in my lifetime, is that any different than business [x] hypothetical? That's why I asked morals, or morality. edit: If business A (horrible business practices) has product A @.5 miles down the road -vs- business B (outstanding business practices) has product A @ 5 miles down the road, then I'm going with business A.

so basically it's a matter of convenience?

ok. i guess that's your right to do that. it's your money to spend as you wish and where you wish.

to each, his own.

There's more nuance to it of course, but that's complicated. Moral -vs- Morality. thanks for not pushing it.

I haven't finished this yet, but this is one of the BEST GAMES that I have played on my PS3.

Game has a few jump scares and makes me a little nervous.

I love the first Dead Space, a true classic. Second game was great, but in my personal opinion I thought the first was way scarier.

A cold pressed coffee. Think I'll get one.

Clash of the titans digibook has audio problems. I am getting no sound in English through my Pioneer AVR. I've tried two different players. Have not had any problems so far with any other discs. still I guess the AVR can go bad or the disc went bad but the picture was perfect just the audio problem in English the other languages are fine.
