Additionally you are blaming capitalism or corporations for this, when really both of those things are just tools. What you really should be blaming are the people making those decisions. i mean, if your argument is "corporations aren't evil because they're an abstract concept without consciousness or the ability to think and make decisions but the people owning those corporations ARE evil," sure, i can agree with that. that seems like kind of a pedantic argument, though. obviously, when perfectchaosz said "corporations," he was talking about the people owning the corporations. His argument was that the concept of corporations are evil because they try to make money. I am willing to say that if you want to view a corporation as evil if it run by evil people that is fine. But even in that case I would say that some corporations are evil, some are good and some are neutral. Same as people. Corporations are basically an extension of people so saying they are universally evil means you think people are universally evil which is what I take offense to. Mind you I don't think people are universally good either, I actually think people are generally neutral. PerfectChaosZ posted... But we know all corporations are bad. And who doesn't think they aren't bad. They're literally trying to pragmatically and ruthlessly make as much money as possible, which is bad, you know? It screws people over. If you're religious at all it's called one of the worst sins in the Bible. This quote is what the real problem I have with what he's trying to say. He acts like corporations are inherently evil when in reality they are just a tool. If someone uses a corporation to make a bunch of money to donate to others I would argue that the corporation is good. Because the people behind it are good. Separating corporations and capitalism from people just show to me a fundamental misunderstanding of what they are. Boycotting something is a facet of capitalism after all --- DPOblivion beat us all. <cite>Colegreen_c12 posted [p:929602061] in Chick-Fil-...
