How do people feel about boycotting products from US etc?

Question

In view of the Bali stalemate, how do you feel about mounting a boycott of products from those countries who will not fall into line with emission reductions?

If we boycotted Macdonalds/Movies/Fast Food US owned outlets etc, don't you think pressure would soon be put on the administration?

Answer 1

We'll do it . . . it's no coincidence that we adopted Bali after the Paulson (with China) discussion ended in stale mate. The Bali Statement is a statement of economic war fare for the U.S. . . . not environmental policy.

Answer 2

Like that is going to harm this country. All you people that say you'll boycott American merchandise are filled with sh*t. To begin with there may be just a few products which can be truely made in the united states that's not meals. The whole lot else comes from Japan, hong Kong, China, India, and so forth. So get your heads out of your assets and suppose of some thing normal folks like guera_latina90 are just using their race as an excuse. They're making things rather a lot worse than what it is. It's not about race right here. It is about 'unlawful' immigration. You do not see the other immigrants from Asia, Africa, and the center East inflicting any such main issue here. There are more people out there that these debates over immigrants effect then simply the HISPANIC population. So quite making use of your race as an excuse

Answer 3

S. that may not nutrition. each and every thing else comes from Japan, hong Kong, China, India, etc. so get your heads out of your supplies and think of of something unique human beings like guera_latina90 are purely making use of their race as an excuse. they are making issues plenty worse than what it is. it is no longer approximately race right here. it is approximately 'unlawful' immigration. you do no longer see the different immigrants from Asia, Africa, and the middle East inflicting this style of challenge right here.

Answer 4

What does it matter, Bali or not. I reckon food from the USA should be treated with caution as most are genetically modified anyway. Is this healthy? Many people boycott USA foods already because of the slim chance of its gm content. Eat with caution I say.

Answer 5

It would be justifiable but pointless. I can't remember the last time I bought a product with the label "Made in USA".
I wouldn't boycott "The Simpsons" if I had a TV.

Answer 6

Not sure where you live but that would be impossible here in Canada. All products from the US? I couldn't type this message, use the Internet, use Yahoo!; I'd have to turn off my TV, no more movies, music, couldn't drive to work...lol. It would never happen. Get realistic.

Answer 7

I will never boycott a product made in the US. Unfortunately, not many are anymore.

Answer 8

yes sounds about right lets all dictate to the rest of the world now we are the big powerful EU. sounds a bit like what we used to accuse the Americans of doing.

Answer 9

You go ahead and do that. Shut down these plants, lose jobs, lose income, and lose a great deal of the tax revenue.
