Walt Disney still boycotted by Life Decisions International

[napnet]

As a Christian (and Baptist), I think boycotting Disney was and still is silly, but I guess there are still some groups boycotting the company for their support of different groups.

For what it's worth, there's an article in this week's "Advocate" magazine about these boycotts and how ineffective they are. Basically, for all the supposed political power they have, these groups have very little power over the purse.

These groups have little or nothing to do with hurting the bottom line.It might make them feel warm and fuzzy at night that they have a cause but it really is not doing anything to hurt Disney.For every one boycot person there are 10 who will but Disney items,go to the parks and see the movies.Im not a Christian but my wife is and we know many people who are including a Pastor of a church she goes too and he LOVES DISNEY.

Yeah, this is obviously not working. People will always boycot Disney, its just the way it is. During a CP information session that I attended in 2003, people stood up and started protesting and making a scene. The recruiter handled it very well. They said something about the plastic disney uses in toys is toxic or something stupid like that.

I hate when people think Disney is some evil empire with sinister dealings.Disney brings joy and happiness to billions around the world.Disney is not a government entity that owes charity to the masses but a for profit company that really only owes anything to the shareholders.Even though Disney is a corporation it does a great job at bringing families around the world together.Do the people who protest Disney or boycot the company forget about all of the charitable things the company does all over the world and that thousands of cast members who volunteer their time for causes all over as well to help others in need?

Their boycott list is one that I'd be proud to be on.

In addition to Disney, Neiman Marcus, Adobe, Wachovia, Nabisco, Kraft, Nike, Time Warner, Lipton, Good Humor, Axe, Bank of America, the Dallas Cowboys are on their list. They have a "for shame" list too that they don't yet recommend a boycott for but a stern, "tsk tsk." That list includes, The American Cancer Society, <?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = ST1 /><ST1LACE w:st="on"><ST1LACETYPE w:st="on">Camp</ST1LACETYPE> <ST1LACENAME w:st="on">Fire</ST1LACENAME></ST1LACE>, The Dr. Phil Foundation, Girls Inc., Kiwanis Clubs, Girl Scouts, Rotary Clubs, the March of Dimes, The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and the YWCA.<O></O>

I think I'll make a point of looking at their list and avoid doing business with anyone that's not on it. A reverse boycott! Woo hoo!:lol:
