[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 8933868, member: 15700"] So...you said (and are saying) it's OK for you to condemn people who work for companies that harm people. But now you're saying it's for tobacco companies. Sounds like you're drawing an arbitrary line of what you consider harm. Your own comparison about fast food is one. You said it's a false comparison to compare against a chemically addictive carcinogen, but that's [I]exactly what fast food is[/I]! Our bodies are addicted to fat and sugar. Add the chemicals and preservatives into it, and its almost just as harmful. I suggest you look up the health costs associated with fast food industry. Outside of that, you can also include banks. After all, banks foreclose on people, which is actively harming them. Most corporations harm their workers, by not paying living wages and/or treating them like expendable assets easily replaced. You're drawing a personal line, and that's fine, but it's arbitrary and a giant slippery slope. That's why I disagree we can condemn people and accuse them of supporting the harm the company they work for does. Just doesn't work that way. [/QUOTE]
