ORLANDO, Fla./NEW YORK (Reuters) - Coca-Cola Co is dropping its membership in a conservative national advocacy group that supports "Stand Your Ground" laws such as the one being used as a defense in the Florida killing of an unarmed black teenager, Trayvon Martin.
The move by the world's biggest soft drink maker comes as corporate America faces increased scrutiny from consumers and shareholder activists over lobbying and political spending.

Between the two major colas I prefer Coke. I don’t drink it very often, so it’ll be easy to give up.
> Cancer and childrens charities etc yes,
Be careful.
A lot of these charities get shaken down by Planned Parenthood for donations.
Some of them are mere fronts and money laundering operations for Planned Parenthood and other Leftist goon squads.
You need to see how these “charities” spend their money.
Doesn’t matter if I drink it or not, DONE!!!
Did you read the story about the 78 year old man who was attacked on his way home from the store? Six thugs, white and black, jumped him and beat him down and stomped on him while shouting kill the white man. I am like you I can’t go three rounds with anyone anymore so Ill just shoot the somns of bitches.
Give it up (forever) for Lent. Your liver/stomach will thank you, bigtime.

Give it up completely and get healthy with selected fruit juices: see post #26.

This can be turned in our favor.
make coke get out the left wing social issues.
Then again, now all coke drivers are robbery targets.
(is that the new logo?)
My error. I did 3-4x in the 50s, then quit. (I was a milk drinker) Read the part of my post about (fizzy) cream soda.
In Scout summer camp (late-50s), we tried using Coke to “tenderize” some meat. It burned the meat up, shrunk it and turned it brown; like shot leather. None of us touched that cola stuff after that.

shot = shoe.
Big mistake indeed. When the Rush/prostitute flap was in full hue and cry and companies were bailing out, I posted on other forums that these companies were idiots. I wrote that the Left's attention span was that of a goldfish and as soon as another cause celebre arose, like a school of minnows, they'd dart off in another direction. Brand loyalty means nothing to them. Sure enough, we now have this case and who remembers the bimbo - or which company supported her?
So, I suppose now, “standing your ground” is “racist”...
I can understand where the left would look at it that way.
Who are you “standing your ground” against?
Criminals. And those criminals are overwhelmingly overrepresented by a specific race, sex, and age.
If you want real soda... try Hosmer Mountain (they'll send you a case in glass bottles).

I think I did the link correctly
Thanks, but I find “local delivery” only. No interstate delivery. Besides, that team of horses/wagon would wear out traveling to my Farm, way out here. LOL.
Thanks, sheikdetailfeather.
That is the law I’m familiar with in North Carolina. I’d not heard it referred to as a Stand Your Ground law though.
