I think Campbell should capitalize on this by conspicuously labeling everything else they make HARAAM! I'd bet the boycotters would eat that up (literally.) That would work at tea party rallies for sure. Here is your chicken soup now with Pork. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

WOW Have you read the other religious books and what is said in THEM? I think its fair to say if anyone followed the instruction of the old testament new testament or the Koran they would go to jail for breaking the law. Weather it was trying to kill the gays because they are an abomination in all those books, or killing people who use a phone on the sabot or eat meat on Friday and on and on and on. I think the one philosophy I am for is this. You can do as you wish as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others. That can be applied to the simple stuff don’t kill, don’t steel, and even every day living. How loud should you be able to listen to your music? Simple as loud as you want as long as your neighbors don’t have to hear it. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

At least I have the intelligence to know, And the integrity to admit it is factually incorrect, wish I could say that about others. That might be your opinion of the way I operate. The way I see it is I have always been very capable of seeing both sides, and after looking at this from every angle I can not think of any other motivation. As I said before if you can please share? Are you running for office? You sound like it man. How hard is it say to me “your wrong” and then state your reason? Remember me talking about people twisting and turning to avoid the facts, thats what your doing. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

You forgot to make it a poll. Take a deepbreath try again. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

The statment is logically incorrect, As is the case whenever you use absolutes. However When I make it personal as in what I have experienced first hand, I have yet to have a self proclaimed Liberal support or start any of these movements that too ME seem like are only motivated by Islamophobia. And at the same time all of these recent movements have been started and supported by people who consider and call them selves right winger and republicans. I have also witnessed people on here who twist and turn to make it seem as if there is some other motivation other then race/religion that I am claming as THE motivation. Those people are on the right. So I answered your question. Care to answer mine instead of ignoring it? What is the motivation for this boycott? And do you support it? I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Please tell us what you think is the motivation behind this boycott? Please explain? I didn't think i was being PC at all. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

So are the people who support and started this movement as Wendy stated its started by the same woman who made all the noise about the mosque that is near ground zero. That sure had a lot of support by right wingers all over the place including here on dz.com as well. By the way you can say your not a bigot or racists I am sure most of the people supporting this boycott would say the same. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Thx for your honesty. I can skip over your replays from now on knowing what your motivation is. thank you for saving me time the most precious of commodities.

Bill Normally I would agree with you, and I believe you are factually right. However what’s frightening for me is that the republican leadership is becoming more and more radicalized. I understand they like the energy and enthusiasm that some of these groups add to their tent but I think the motivation behind it should cause them some concern that i have yet to see them voice. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I did forget that. Hmm see if i can edit. Nope can not edit the options on poll, and it makes sense why you shouldn't be able to. Oh and i am buying Campbell and i usally don't I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Thanks for the link. However I don’t think I left any important points out. It’s a very simple issue. A company is expanding their product line to meet the needs of their customer or to attract new ones. But because it is for Muslims Some people have an issue with it. Really stupid and obviously motivated by racism. However I would not be surprised to see people defend the Boycott I mean we had plenty of people here who believed the constitution applies to all except Muslims when it comes to freedom of religion. Any thing is possible, we have enough of a supply of retarded people. I checked the FB page there is over 3000 likes. I bet most of them would not think of themselves as Bigots. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

True. But I have to say as a Muslim most of what I see (including people on Dz.com) that can be qualified as racists is from people who claim to be republican or tea party. At least when it comes to Muslims. Its odd because they keep on denying it. Its as if they make a statement or an action that’s is obviously motivated on hate, and then they try to find reasons if there are any. If they cant find reasons they make them up. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I am talking about the movement to Boycott Campbell soup because they will be offering “Halal” Soups soon in their line of products. Halal is the same as kosher only for Muslims. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Thank you for keeping the debate respectful ( I need to work on that more), and intelligent. You have given me more to think about, and i am no longer sure of my position. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Hallelujah I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

My point is that as you stated for people to be competitive they need to pool together, have fund rasiers etc. That was your words right? So you understand that the individual by him/her self can not stand against corporations, therefore the individual has no power. Most people have jobs and lives, and you expect them to compete with people whose jobs is to make fund raisers and etc...... You do not see the lack of balance? I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

LOL first that was funny. I don’t think corporations have what’s best for the country in mind. I think most corporations have one god, one religion and that’s money. To make more of it and increase the profit margin. I don’t have an issue with this I don’t hate money. However I do not think that laws should be made or influenced by a profit motive. You can speak all you want, however I would not allow you to donate money in an unlimited manner. My personal idea is to set a maximum allowed contribution, and make it a very small amount. Something like $20.00. You need to convince people individuals to agree with your ideas and the power comes back to the people, and not the lobbyist. I think matters of opinion are just that. However I would be for sever punishment for the people who mislead and misinform. I do believe there is a difference. If we do not do this the people with the least morals and ethics will be the people who will succeed. Simply because they will say any thing to get what they want. I don’t want to live in such a world that depravity is viewed as a vehicle for success. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

What? A corporation is when someone incorporates a company. The reason it is done is for liability reasons. The liability of a corporation stops at the corporation and not actual owners. Just a group of people is not a corporation unless they go trough the process of making a corporation. You mentioning “reason” is its own joke, but I am glad to say I don’t even get your point if you have one. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I think just the scale. I cant see an average citizen have millions of dollars to spend, and money does talk. So you have grass roots Vs Corporate and if money is the measure for success (which seems to be the case) I think the average citizen doesn’t stand a chance. We simply do not have the resources. Pooled together, yes there is. Find a group of people that agree with you and hold a fund raiser. Proper money management would be the key. You just made my point. Thank you. The ruling takes power away from the individual, and gives power to corporations. As i said before the avrage citizens voice can not be heard while the corporation have got a megaphone. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I think first we have to acknowledge that I do not view corporations as people. I disagree with any ruling that declares corporations which are NOT people as people. I have no issue with people expressing thier views. However I do have an issue with business misleading individuals for profit. Weather that be changing VIN numbers on a cars to make them seem like something it is not, or pretending to be something your not to take advantage of individuals. Lying for profit should be a crime and I believe in certain instances it is. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

I disagree. I am for free speech however there is a word for deliberately misleading and misinforming people for profit. I believe it is called a con, and last I checked con artists were not what the freedom of speech is about. I also disagree that a corporation is a person for the simple reason that it is not. Keep in mind no corporation is prohibit from expressing their political view. I have no issue with IBM saying what they believe if they wish to get in to a political discourse. What this ruling did was basically limited the average citizens speech and increase the power of the fat cats. I would love to see the con artists pay for there crimes. Weather there selling snake oil to the elderly or if there lying to them about health care so they can keep making money. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2010/10/07/130399554/fresh-air I heard this story today. And wanted to share it. The story that got me was the So called non for profit The coalition for senior citizens I believe. That did not exist until just a few months ago. They have adds showing old people who claim they are suffering because of the health care bill. Off course after some research they find out the guy behind it works for an insurance company. Like we needed any more people who base their opinions on miss information. Thank you Supreme Court for making it worst. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

What! now I like to kill babies with on coming trains!!!!!? Ahhh you can be sure that i do not like to kill babies turtle. With THC There is no such thing as an OD. With marijuana the worst that can happen is you pass out fall asleep. That’s it. My point was that the weed will not kill the kid, but under the its effects specially a child who has no idea what is happening to him/her I can see the child getting in to trouble and even p[possibly die. Like get hit by a train. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain

Ahhhhh not possible. unless he got high and got hit by a train. At worst the kid will fall asleep. I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain
