:tsktsk:Oh, then definately not.I play a lot of cards, but this is interesting where I win by simply not showing my hand. Iāll leave a note in my will that this should all be explained to you at my death.
How do you conclude from the Churchās statement that it is acceptable to form labor unions that the Church thinks a universal health care plan is a natural right or simply a ārightā as you indicate?
You are oversimplifying the point. I understand what you are trying to say but buying a product made in China is not a sin. Purposely buying a product made in China because it puts money in the governments pocket to fund abortions would be a sin.
Many evil practices? I donāt think that is fair, nor a good demonstration of evil.jermosh,
You would be surprised how many personal boycotts I have done, some have actually worked, others will not work until more people get involved.
One has to engage in the world, and we have to do our best to make the world a better placeā¦walmart has many evil practices, and it is the single largest target on earth regarding retailersā¦so to make a dent in their bottom-line is not easy. Yet, Catholics cannot sit on their hands just because the world is filled to the brim with sin and evilā¦we are Jesusā hands and feetā¦
The war is won one battle at a time. If Catholics caused walmart to improve their moral standings, that would place a tremendous pressure on other smaller companies.
With man nothing is possibleā¦with God all things are possible.
Pick something and work it!
A classic example being the Guiness boycott. The Guiness family, though living in Eire, is thoroughly anti-Catholic, and their hiring practices are very discriminatory.
Iām not saying we shouldnāt do something nor that we should look away.
Iām the last person to look away regarding these sins. Iām simply suggesting a more in-depth strategy to a complicated problem
Iām not saying you should look the other way. Write letters, donāt shop there, tell people what you disagree with etc. I just donāt see justification for an all-out boycott. If there is, Iāve got at least 250 companies to boycott before them - they all sell products made in China and they all are involved in promotion of immorality.
The comment was not meant for you personally. It was meant for the many in this country that use artificial reasons to protest Walmart when the real motivation is their own personal wallet.
Writing letters works. They figure every letter represents 16,000 people.
Could you re-state that. Iām not sure Iām understanding what you are asking. thanks.
Sot of like voting (buying) for a candidate (product) thatās pro-choice is not a sin. Purposely voting for a candidate because he is pro-choice is a sin. Some people beleive economic sanctions to stop abortion are ineffective. Others think legal sanctions are ineffective. I beleive both can be effective and I support the use of both, though I respect those who differ on one or the other or both.
We have come to the sorry pass in this country where we must find demons and plots ā itās easier to blame Wal Mart for our āmaterialism and greedā than to accept responsibility for our own behavior (and profitable, too for some.)
Believe me, I know. Thanks for the links. I write so many letters and emails, Iām sure there are some that are tired of hearing from me.
