Bennetton

Bennetton - something connected with Anti-Israel, Anti-Semetic statements. And really overpriced and cheap.

Nike - When i was young, and just moved to Canada - it was hard for my parents to afford Nike for me. And people who had them were snobby and very select.
When i finally could afford my own pair of shoes from my own hard working money, working at a Canadian Mashbir at that time, i bought Adidas. It not only gave me confidence, but my own image and freedom from the Nike lovers. Eventough Adidas, Nike, Puma etc...are no different. Its just what i went through to get them and the hard work that makes me not refuse to buy Nike.
Today i can buy 200 pairs of Nike probably. But dont wanna... im an associate of Adolf Das :lol:

Liz Clairborne - I read an article about the treatment they make their workers in places like Nicaragua and Guatemala go threw. No washroom breaks, no nothing for like 20 hours a day almost. They get paid very poorly and in return, they make stuff that are in the range of 85-150 dollars per unit. :ohno:

Coach and LV = both are for women first of all, both are not in the best design and its all about the image and the exclusivity of having it than really having a bag. Paying for something that is 60 dollars - atleast 500 cause it has the logo or design... No Democracy. No Logo! No Right.. No choice!

Timberland - unlike what i posted on here before..Timerbland and I have a bad relationship, but not in the same way as the top. I just cannot identify myself with their brand. Their brand is outdoorsman like and the design sucks. I dont really like it and its a little overpriced. Im not an outdoor type person. In Canada people wear it who are into Hip Hop cause they offer alot of baggy clothes. So in that case, im not into Hip Hop..... so i dont like it...

Hilfiger - Over Priced and the design kinda sucks. Makes me remember of Tommy Hilfigers big days in late 1990's like 1996-2001 where they were big. Now they are just a store for the high and wealthy and its not soemthing i can identify myself with. They also have some anti-jewish sentiment behind it. Still. It doesnt really stop me from getting a basic shirt of theirs if its on a good sale or what not.....

Abercrombie and Fitch has blacks, Chinese, Jews and Latinos whatever...
but they do try to attract good looking people.
I hardly see any fat kids or any ugly kids working in A/F.
Infact, i think when they close they have fucking sex cause they all look good. Id have sex with all the A/F workers :D minus the guys....:ohno:

And ive been to A/F stores in Toronto, Buffalo (NY), New York (NY), Seattle (Washington) and i can tell you, its all bunch of good looking late high school - college university kids....

Starbucks is alright. It should be boycotted cause they make you buy time for WiFi, which sucks. Its like they dont want u to be a customer. I really hate it. But everyone does it now... If not they will hang out around their store and surf porno and neo-nazi sites all day :D

A&F is totally racist. I don't personally have a problem with it, but I'll call things what they are. A&F has, like, one black model, and A)only because they were being yelled at and B)he's probably light skinned, with some European features.

Like I said, I don't care and secondly, they're totally out of style now, but their aesthetic is racist. They are going for that "all American" look, and despite the fact that "all American" shouldn't mean white, it refers to the appearance of white people in the center of the US. If you come to a major university in the center of the United States, you will find some well built Germanic/Anglo/Nordic looking people, and if you ignore their teeth and pink, oily skin, it's similar to what you'd see in an A&F catalogue.

What makes you think I don't care about animals? And yet I don't ban companies who experiment in animals. How not thoughtful of me.

You need to put things in context. Usually they already check the chemical components of the stuff before implying it on animals. It's not like they soak monkeys in acid and see how long they survive. Besides there is some strict bureaucracy in the matter, and harming the animals is forbidden by law.

Your mistake, because that's the cleanest water. Unlike Mei Eden that actually put everything that flows out of the mountain into the bottle (I wonder how many animals pee into their spring daily), AquaNova processes their water to assure that is clean of unnecessary or harmful components, and that the balance of chemical components is best for your health.
