Wanna bet that these companies DO sell to illegals?
(Mohammend Atta buying stuffed Mickey Mouses at the local Disney store to send home to the kiddies-comes to mind.) < /humor >

Thanks for the link.
Haven't these companies learned from the K-mart experience?

Thanks RC ... as I sit here at my new Dell ... I am ashamed and am putting masking tape over the logo ... penning a letter to corporate Dell. Geesh!

Somehow evil leftist definitions have been inserted in the government product sales control programs. Gun owners have been targeted hence by rogue socialites infiltrating the systems. This is the way a clever minority can gain quick control. The Matrix has Dell and it is attempting to have us and gun dealers.

The next "Dellron" comming around the bend?

4 out of 13 sports sites are for golfers. Just goes to prove what I've always said about golfers.

Golf is not a sport it's a pastime. This comes from an avid tennis player and teacher. (just a tiny bit of sarcasm. not much, though)

I have a Gateway that I bought in 1997. Paid almost $3000.00 dollars at that time.Have had good service and response until I tried to upgrade about year and half ago. Got the cold shoulder from them. I would have even bought another Gateway had they acted reasonably but you would not believe the way they responded to me.Since then I have found that Gateway is a big contributor to the Democrats and liberal causes.I would like to have another one but will take something else because of principle.I am open to any suggestions because I am in the market for a new one at present.

Someone said that Gateway is owned by a liberal...but apparantly so is Dell. In fact most/all the puter companies are.

Beg pardon, Dell and Gateway are both owned by millions of shareholders like you and me. The upper management of both companies own a substantial number of shares but not so many that they could claim majority control of the company.

HICKORY FARMS!!!????!!!??? NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

No more yard o' beef??....the horror...the horror!!!!

[lavaroise]

shareholders shamreholders. Look at ENRON. It's not who votes, but who counts the votes that decides. These companies have varying degrees of ownership and stakes. Shareholder stakes, stakes that should import, are sadly way over-estimated in their ability of defining actual ownership.

Definitions of ownership never meant real ownership.

[lavaroise]

Go to Computer Shoppers, they have little known companies listed that make good machines yet that won't have a matrix of definition to see if they can sell you stuff because you own a gun. It's risky business, yes, but buying a Dell or a Gateway is risky business too, apparently, as per your cold shoulder story.

I noticed your referenced Dell's layoffs in combo with Dell's announcement to open manufacturing in China. Could it be you're trying to associate the two? As I am sure you know, there's a lot of companies who have both layed off people (due to the economy) and opened up manufacturing in China (to tap the China market). Names like Caterpillar, IBM, HP, Gateway, General Motors, Ford come to mind and there's (a lot) more. Given your attitude towards Dell, you couldn't possibly drive an AMERICAN (Ford or GM) car could you? They manufacture in China and have layed off people.

Well looky here! Who do we find supporting HCI? Why it's none other than DELL! Remember them? They're the one's who claimed "Dell does not discriminate against any business, regardless of the products or services they sell, nor do we discriminate against individual consumers." Of course they don't discriminate against gun owners; they just support those who would rob us of our rights.

Remember this the next time you're shopping for a computer. (Or any of these other products, for that matter!)

Well looky here someone does not know what they are talking about. Dell is not supporting HCI. Do you know what that is? It is a way for supporters of HCI to buy a computer and give money to HCI. Dell is not giving HCI the money in the form of a grant. They are allowing everyone to make money from this including the NRA/GOA if they wanted to do so. Someone clicks on the link and a percentage of that money goes to the owner of the website. Infact it even goes past another party called http://www.linkshare.com/ instead of dell computers. If your going to attack a company at least have all of the facts. Should H&R Block not allow the NRA to get a % of people it brings to H&R Block?

[Physicist]

I'm not going to stop shopping at Borders just because the owners happen to be gun grabbers. For all I know, the owners of Amazon or Barnes & Noble are far more liberal.

Readers Digest? Thats hard to believe!

Michael Dell has contributed more to our common conservative cause over the years than all these wanabee bigmouths here in their lifetime. You can take the tape off the front of your computer.

Hopefully the people reading this thread will get to Bushcountry and your posts and understand just what this is.

Thanks.
