if a company makes a good product, and dosnt harm society. and its something i want or need. ill buy it.
. (ie walmart driving small business out, SUV's makeing us dependent on saudi terrorists, or best buy not paying it employees). I dont really care about brands.
I realized brand loyalty is something children do. Its something I saw kids get in fights over when i was in grade school and JR high. watching little kids get in fists fights over which is better a nintendo or sega master system is as pathetic as watching 40 year old rednecks fight over which is better their POS ford truck or the other guys POS chevy.
-
Never ever buy another GM product.
No domestic bellybutton produced beers.
ATT because they bug me about 4 times a week.
-
no raub they are not "domestic beers". use the term they have to use if they want to sell their crap in germany.
"malt beverages"
calling a domestic american beer, beer. is a disgrace to real beer.
-
i dont buy marijuana because it supports terrorists.
thats right, Juan, who grows it in his backyard, sends 30% of his earnings to Al Queda

My list consists of corporations which have ripped me off, have tried to rip me off, have sold me a product that didn't work, or treated me like **** when I had a problem with their product. I could give a rat's bellybutton about society. This is about transactions between me and these companies.

Bank of America. Worst customer service, ever.

oh and how could I forget Qwest comunications. worst customer service ever (double charged for a 'free' dsl modem it took 15 months to remove this $300 charge from my bill/credit. just one of many problems in the last 12 years). next year we will be able to get phone service through our cable tv line, and that will be the day qwest gets there last dime from me.

Ah, I used to think that at one time too. Then a friend dropped his off at my house and borrowed my truck. This particular BMW was 10 yrs. old and had 200,000 miles on it, all the time I was thinking it was relatively new...at that point I changed my "materialistic decision" perception on them and decided that people indeed bought them for something other than "show".... ;)
