I'm just confused by people boycotting stores for not having Christmas stuff. They're arguing for a more commercialized Christmas?
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Thanks, not!beth.
Ah, so what the AFA is worried about is that Target isn't showing a united Christian front for them, like all good US companies should. Blargh. Bite me, AFA.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
There are a million reasons why we could boycott a store; I think it is just a matter of deciding which issues mean the most to us. I can think of any number of places that I could boycott for the way they treat their employees, but I don't always follow through on it. I will likely continue to shop at Target, despite the fact that I don't agree with this policy. If I hear of an incident where a specific location has refused to fill a perscription (these things tend to end up in the news in RI), I won't go to that location anymore. I was at Target tonight. The cashier who waited on me was in a wheelchair. This isn't something I see very often in a retail environment, and it is something that is very important to me, so I will likely shop at that Target more often. But, I can understand why opinions vary on this issue. t /rambling post

Now tagless for your comfort.
Ford just bowed to a boycott threat from AFA and pulled all their ads from gay and lesbian magazines. I hope it hurts their business more than if the AFA instituted their boycott.
If it does, it could help solve the SUV glut as well.

It's just, I guess I find it surprising that Target will balk at outward shows of religious identification, yet let their pharmacists dispense based on theirs! Inconsistent, much?

Yay, puke-free VW!
There's a rousing sentiment for you. I hope you continue to get better, vw.

I'm lazy and don't feel like going to the Literary thread since I'm not subscribed these days, so...
Everybody suggest one book they love that was published before 1923. I want books to download from ManyBooks to put on my laptop.
