 If you are going to boycott one, boycott them all! (L) |

No need.
The Boss Springsteen showed us that there is no need for consistency.
He plays in Arab states - but not North Carolina.
He is my hero.

| No, I think I'll just boycott one. I don't like Target in the first place and my wife spends too much money there. So, its out. |

Why shop at Target when you can get equally poor quality merchandise at Walmart for 20% less?

| Eddie...classic fallacy |

I can't save everyone that's drowning, so I'll save none of them.
I can't fix all the problems in the world, so I'll fix none of them.
I can't boycott all the places I disagree with, so I'll boycott them all.
I do hear your point, but it is virtually impossible to track down every single "bad" thing that every company does/supports. But when it is OBVIOUS and BLATANT, then you perhaps have much better grounds for acting.
Further, while most of us might not want most public companies to discriminate against gays working there, we might draw that line at being supportive of transgender bathroom privileges--especially if it will directly affect us.
So, please reconsider and plan to do something for the cause of the right...even if you can't do everything for the cause of the right. |

You don't have to track it down. It's provided for you. |

Right on Aaron.
A Jonas brother isn't playing North Carolina anymore either...but if the Arab Emirates want him - he's there. Too bad for him his Dad was about to open a family restaurant in Concord. I guess he can't eat at his Dad's restaurant now either.
However, perhaps Selectivity works best - knock em down one at a time.
If we get Target to knuckle under, the other guys will get in line.
The NFL and NBA do it the same way - one at a time.
Perhaps Eddie can review the list and let us know the next one to take a shot at. Perhaps Starbucks.
