So to your way of thinking, the only valid economic decision on earth is one based purely on price/value? There's never a time when morality or patriotism should enter into a purchasing decision. Do I understand you correctly?

No your comprehension skills are severely lacking . What I am saying is that you may consider your moral views as much as you want in making a decision BUT IT IS SELF EVIDENT THAT IT WILL THEN NO LONGER BE AN ECONOMIC DECISION (There is nothing wrong with that as long as you do so voluntarily). You are free to make a patriotic non-economic decision if you feel like it( such as when you buy badges to support our troops) - what you will have to concede then is that you are not buying these things purely for self interest ( as our economic system is based on). IT IS BETTER TO HONESTLY ACCEPT THAT WE ARE MAKING A WILFUL NON-ECONOMIC DECISON BECAUSE OUR CONSCIENCE OUTWEIGHS PURE PROFIT RATHER THEN DELUDE OURSELVES INTO SOMEHOW JUSTIFYING ALL EMOTIONAL DECISONS AS BEING BETTER TO OUR BOTTOM LINE.

I don't understand why you're so adamant about pointing out the obvious. To the point where you have to scream in capital letters. Yes, we all know that boycotts aren't done to save money. Obvious. Tautological. Unimportant to the point of being irrelevant.

Your loud insistence in emphasizing this utterly uninteresting tautology makes me wonder if you don't have another agenda. Perhaps what you're really doing is trying to talk us out of boycotting France. Is that true?

Are you a closet Francophile?

(I know the question will make you angry, but nothing else I can think of explains your obsession with explaining that which needs no explanation. Yes. We get it. You don't make money holding boycotts. Got it.)
