Do you really have no clue as the effects of a boycott that actually worked? Do you really think that you're going to "give someone else a job" by putting Conoco out of business?
And who pray tell is going to pay YOUR bills if YOUR place of employment is boycotted next? And no I don't work for Conoco.

The NRA is full of hot air, no brains and less sense.

Smith and Wesson.

Do you really think that you're going to "give someone else a job" by putting Conoco out of business?

We don't think we are going to give anybody a job. That was in response to your stating that we are going to cost someone a job. If we have enough economic clout to cost someone a job, then we have enough clout to give someone a job. There are a certain number of jobs needed in the economy to provide the services that Conoco provides. If Conoco doesn't provide the services, someone else will.

And who pray tell is going to pay YOUR bills if YOUR place of employment is boycotted next?

I thought you said that boycotts don't work anyway? Well, if someone boycotts my place of work, I will get a job somewhere else. It will suck, but that, for example is why I don't work some place that I think is under the threat of a major boycott.

And no I don't work for Conoco.

Who does, your spouse?

You sure are ticked off about a boycott that won't work, and doesn't effect you. But please clarify, why do the have no brains and less sense? For promoting a boycott that won't work?

swmobuffalo from another thread about illegal aliens: Good. Now can they come raid the one where I live?? I'm tired of trying to figure out if they're of legal age and what they're trying to say when they come to buy beer where I work.

So, you sell Beer. You are infuriated that the NRA is promoting a boycott of Conoco, even though you think boycotts don't work.

What are the chances that someone who thinks boycotts don't work yet is infuriated at an NRA boycott of Conoco and just so happens to sell beer regularly doesn't work at Conoco, despite the denial?

I think the key words are: 'that actually worked'....

Most of these type promotions will be followed by the members that are hard core and to a lesser degree by others in the public. It will only mean in the long run a shift in the purchasing groups from one brand to another. When the boycotted stations become impacted they will drop the price a penny or two and the other groups not participating will being to use them... cheaper and less congestion maybe. jmo.

I rarely use a gasoline credit card anymore even though I have one that my daughter uses. I normally will use a credit card like m/c which are accepted at most pay pumps now regardless of which brand of gasoline is dispensed. Convienent and allows for price shopping.

It would seem others have disposed of your silly comments quite effectively, so I won't bother.
