3. Let's say a company makes a product you like. And a product you don't like. |
|
Isn't boycotting the product you don't like, and buying the product you do like just as effective as boycotting everything?

5. I don't like the parent company so I should boycott all of their products. Otherwise, |
|
buy paying for the product I like, I'm essentially supporting the product I don't.

10. Buying the product you like would still be contributing to the profit of the company in question... |

In this case, it's really an all-or-nothing tack one must take.

6. What do you think they will do with that hard earned money of yours? |
|
It will likely contribute to keeping Beck on the air, or pay for one of the Faux News bimbos to get a boob job or something.

11. If the message of the movie is progressive, pro-environmental, anti-empire, I see no reason not to, |
|
however if you don't want to send him too much, wait until it comes out on DVD.
