who hates bank of america?

[lftd&pwrstrok'n]

Now we're suppose to dislike...

Police
Cupcakes
Methodist
Nurses

Really???

You are obviously not keeping up w/ the conversation.... that is my exact point. We can not possibly ban everything and everyone that is anti gun.

RKC00 Here let me help you get caught up on my point of view:

I got on the bandwagon when BOA dropped McMillan. And, I banned Taco Mac when they started their no guns policy (as well as kicking out an on duty PO). But, then I saw a listing of business that either the corporation or high members of the board are anti-gun. It would be impossible not to patronize some of them. When you consider how many companies are just part of a larger parent corporation, I don't think it can be done w/o never leaving the house and/or buying anything. So, I have decided to only ban those that personally affect me. And, I don't support those that do support the anti gunners, when I know about them. Taco Mac is still banned, but I never like their food anyway. And, I haven't stepped foot into a Dick's since they pulled their little stunt after Sandy Hook. Baby steps...

Being anti-gun I am fine w/. Don't like it, but that is a freedom that we can enjoy in America. But, do they actually financially support anti gun groups? That's where I draw the line.

The examples in the links aren't the same thing as financially supporting anti gun. Yes, they are asinine for turning away business, but it is their right and as such has cost them many customers. But, for every one they lost, they probably gained 2 more from the tree hugging, yellow bellied, bed wetting, pinko bastard commie anti gun crowd. I'm not arguing against your points, just saying that companies that actually give money to anti gun groups are far more dangerous that those that are just anti gun.

If you pay attention you can. And some are much more egregious than others.

Frankly I never understood why someone would want to hand over their hard earned money so someone can turn around and use your money against you.

"tree hugging, yellow bellied, bed wetting, pinko bastard commie anti gun crowd"

Love it!

Oh, and the "leadership" of the American Nurses' Association a few years ago did ask US Military Nurses to "boycott" and "protest" their jobs at Guantanomo Bay. She actually flew down and "confronted" the Chief Nurse (US Army) about how awful the US was doing such horrible things to terrorists. Can't tell you how many nurses in fact belong to the "tree hugging, yellow bellied, bed wetting, pinko bastard commie anti gun crowd".

But looking at the NRA list (link above) you can see that this anti-gun stance is true of many otherwise good organizations, and it demonstrates clearly how a few whack jobs can take over any (ANY) organization and lead it down the wrong path. Churches, corporations, everyone's at risk when no one has the kahonas to stand up.

As I said they were yet another in a long line of companies that took bailout money. And Ford is indeed guilty. "It’s hard to say, of course, but the fact is, with the aid of that taxpayer loan and a well-timed bank loan of $23 billion, Ford managed to tiptoe past the graveyard and avoid bankruptcy."

I will not do business with any of the thieves.

Pro 2nd, anti US Auto Industry... Travels by either walking, bicycle or automobile with a foreign name badge. How are they thieves when the $$$ was loaned to them? None of them TOOK the money, it was loaned and paid back. Regardless of what Forbes implies, Ford did not participate in the same government bailout as General Motors.

I give up. Obviously, I am not getting my point across, or my point isn't valid. But, I challenge you to check the list of companies listed and honestly say that you don't use any of them. Oh, and make sure to do your research to determine that none of them are the parent companies of a smaller business that you do use.

It was not paid back. I've already posted this stuff before, and I'm not going to do it again.

The majority of those companies that stole taxpayer dollars did not pay them back. But hey it's only play money so who cares...

I know the list already. As I said some are more egregious than others. Of course you can't catch them all, but there are plenty I don't give my money to.

And you are free to do as you wish with your money. "Baby steps..." I believe you called it.

I have no idea how they stay in business. They treat customers like crap. I would never use them. I have heard an awful lot of horror stories.

Fractional lending, fellas (and ladies). It is play money and they get to play. It's also another reason to despise BOA, as one of the "too big to fail" institutions they get to create more money via a larger pool for fractional lending.
