If you knew that your mutual fund was invested in a company with ties to the Sudan and that your money was helping to fund the Genocide in Darfur would you do something about it?

If you knew a that company you did business with was sponsoring an event that would put money into the hands of murderers, would you contact that company to express your disapproval or even stop doing business with them?

I will check out the sites. I know that their are many corporations that support genocide and ethnic cleansing in many places in the world. Would that we knew of them all, but we don't. Chances are if I divest or quit buying, I'll just support a subsidiary of the same people unwittingly. Still, I can try and I will.
However, my tax dollars support one of the most guilty of these practices around the globe, the U.S. government, and I can do nothing about it. We are all prisoners of our respective governments.
Depressing world sometimes, isn't it?

I didn't visit any of your links. Unfortunately, most people would not put as much thought into a thing like you're talking about as you seem to. Personally, I'd rather not (unwittingly) help to fund activities of these natures. So, I suppose, that some inconvenience on your end is necessary so that you have a clear conscience. Bravo! Do what you know is right. The Righteous path isn't always the one that's easiest.

You are correct to be concerned. and my answer to both of these questions are yes. Whatever the Lord placed on my heart, then that is what I would do( or not do)
If you feel you are funding something illegal, then quit giving them the funds.

Luckily, I don't have enough money for that to be a problem of mine.
Wait a minute... there is an upside to being broke!

I would have nothing to do with them and I would also contact them to b**ch them out for funding something so stupid... but that's just my opinion. :)
