My toilet paper makes me sad (Georgia-Pacific, Koch brothers)
5-11-2011 | me

Posted on 05/11/2011 2:51:26 PM PDT by Mountain Bike Vomit Carnage

Today I was in Costco. As I entered the papergoods area a demonstration woman approached me about a sale on Northern triple ply quilted bathroom tissue.

It's my brand and I strongly support a soft 3 ply, but that's not my point.

The demonstration woman went on to show me on the packaging that Georgia Pacific donates money to the Susan G Komen foundation.

I stopped in my tracks and said " I wish you hadn't told me that. The Susan G Komen Foundation funds Planned Parenthood and Planned Parenthood ( or Planned Barrenhood) is the largest provider of abortions in the United States. I can no longer use my favorite brand of tissue or purchase anything else from Georgia Pacific because I will not allow my money to fund abortion."

She looked at me in disbelief.

Normally I am not outspoken, but I get such a punch in my gut when I am confronted by backdoor funding of something as hideous as a the murder of an inconvenient child that my mouth tends to run away from my brain.

Maybe I gave her something to think about or more likely she thinks that I am a nutcase.

I just wanted you to be informed so you can make the decision on your own if you want to support Planned Parenthood abortions by purchasing Georgia Pacific product.

Georgia pacific is owned by those “evil Koch brothers” that the liberals take such offense to.

The ink is usually pretty stable.

If you soak the pages in bacon grease it softens them up considerably.

So she specifically pointed out the Susan G. Komen thing, like that was a selling point? Good for you for speaking up, and thanks for posting that here. I, too, will not buy Georgia Pacific anymore.

I never heard this, do you have a source?

Statement from the SGK Foundation

I would say that all the good that comes from the SGK foundation for breast cancer certainly outweighs their over hyped involvement with PP..........

But then again, everyone needs a cause to rail against I guess...........

Thanks for advising on this.

I HATE it when corporate dolts give money to leftists to “buy” what they think is good PR. I avoid all such companies.

I just can’t get this worked up over the post me money trail. Some of formerly your money is going to go to a cause you don’t like one way or the other, if it’s not because GP donates to Komen then it’s going to be because Costco donates to something, or at the very least at least one of the employees of at least one of the companies involved in your transaction (the retailer, the wholesaler, the transportation company, and the actual manufacturer) is going to donate part of his wages (which was formerly your money) to something you don’t like. So if you take this money trail thing seriously you can’t buy anything, go be Jeremiah Johnson, that’s the only way to make sure none of the money that used to be yours goes somewhere you don’t like.

Me, I buy the TP I like and I just don’t sweat where the pennies go after I’m done with the purchase.

That’s what newspaper is for!

Most newspapers are already so full of sh*t that they are completely useless as a toilet paper substitute.

Muzzies use a water sprayer like you would find on a kitchen sink.

They recoil in horror at the idea of using toilet paper.

I call for a return to the old Sears catalog.
Or corncobs. But that's a rough ride...

I discovered something at the department store called a toilet brush, but after trying it out I think I'm going back to paper.
