<i am as curious as anyone to know why anyone would boycott anything and how they will go about doing so>
To give an example TJ, I can imagine a boycott of gold rings, or jackets or pillows made from human hair, or recycled tooth fillings, taken from people before they were put in the Auschwitz furnaces.
If my relatives had been sent there I would feel kind of strange sleeping on their hair and wearing their fillings as a ring. But on the other hand [so to speak], perhaps I should take the lead of Paula Yates who allegedly kept some of Michael Hutchence's ashes in a little bag by her when she slept. findadeath.com
Maoris used to tattoo slaves [often taken prisoner during tribal wars for eating or general slave duties], then dry and shrink their heads and sell them to visitors from Britain who bought such cultural artifacts around the world. I would boycott such a production line [even if I did think such a purchase would make a nice decoration for the entrance foyer to our house].
I'm sure you can think of some things you would boycott. Perhaps you'd feel squeamish about some products made by slave labour in Nanking, if you were shopping, back in the day. Would you accept "comfort women" services if offered at a good price?
Okay, so we agree you too are a boycotter. Now we are just haggling over the price.
<... as to japanese, compensations, apologies, etc, and whatever, who cares, as i stated before and often, because the issue is not about apologies, but about government mandated textbooks>
Have you read the textbook? What do government-mandated Chinese text books say about Tibet? What else do they omit that involves a LOT of dead people?
Re Master Race, <... as to master race and racism, you are talking to the wrong person, as i am not the one spewing venom and 'making bad jokes', CB was>
I notice Yiwu the Mad is inclined to such ideas. Bubba the Babbling is not so rabid, but is comparably incoherent and denigrating. Re CB, it's mean to taunt CB, who gets quite irate at times [I managed to induce an excellent foul-mouthed tirade once over the photovoltaic wings on satellites].
I notice too your theory on blood being thicker than water and wondered how you measure said viscosity. I think you meant melded-mind MADness is thicker than a whale sandwich, not water, or blood.
As to the rest of my rant, yes, I do make general annoucements during rants and not necessarily, and usually not, specifically directed at the lucky recipient, though usually prompted by them.
