BOYCOTT EMPLOYMENTCROSSING.COM


For those of you who don't know, Randy Pausch sadly passed away on 7/25/08 at age 47.

He received major notoriety for his amazing "Last Lecture" he gave before he died.

It seems that Employmentcrossing.com decided to use his death as way to promote their site. They did a 3 minute video on Youtube. They spend 50 sec. talking about Randy and the other 2:10 talking about Employmentcrossing.com.

I am appalled that any one would be so heartless as to use the death of another for profit like this.

I am asking that you BOYCOTT EMPLOYMENTCROSSING.COM. Please call the company at 800-680-7345 to complain about their video.

BOYCOTT BEIJING!!!


There is a show on PBS called Frontline. I was watching an episode titled "Young and Restless In China".

It was a little shocking to find out that China built huge power towers in the middle of little towns to help with the coming Olympics. It was more shocking to know that over a million people were pushed out of their homes and their homes were demolished for the Olympics.

China is so worried that the look good in front of the world that they are destroying their own people by doing it. I don't believe China cares about anybody but themselves. The are monopolizing all our earthly resources like gas, steel, food products, etc.

They barely doing any importing of our products and yet they are making billions a year on exporting to the USA.

Now I do blame the USA for continuing to import from China. USA is mostly to blame on a lot of the problems in America. That doesn't mean we can't stand up for what we believe.

I can not support the Olympics in Beijing. I will not watch any of the Olympics. I will not use any products with the Olympic symbol on it, and I will tell everyone I know to Boycott Beijing. This country is still a communist country and yet we bring them the glory of broadcast all throughout America?

Watch this documentary "Young and Restless In China" online. Once your done watching it, then try to explain to me two things:

1. how can we support a country that fines you $95,000 for giving birth to a second child
2. how can we watch the Olympics when it became possible by destroying people's lives.

BOYCOTT BEIJING.

BOYCOTT TARGET!!!!

My friend Adam told me that he bought his son a three-in-one table top game (pool, hockey, ping pong).

Now I think those three-in-ones are eye sores, but he wanted his son to have one and that's his prerogative.

So Adam told me a week later that he realized it was too big and he really had no place to set it up in his house. It's brand new and still in the box. The only problem was that Adam couldn't find the receipt. He took it to Target to see if he could return it for a store credit.

Target said that any item over $20 must have a receipt even for store credit.

Now I remember last year Target gave me store credit for something over $20 and let me pick something else out. Target says that this return policy has been like this for 10 years. Now I know they are lying.

I called the corporate office and complained. They gave me the same story. I told them that Walmart takes back products with no complaints and so does Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

I told the lady that I was going to blog about this unfair return policy and ask everyone to boycott Target. She got really frustrated and dismissed herself from the phone conversation. Her name was Amber and she was no help at all.

There are rare occasions when you don't have a receipt. When the product has a target price tag on it and Target currently sells the item and it's sealed in the box, well then the product should be able to be returned for store credit.

As of today, I will no longer be buying from Target. I just pulled my prescriptions from target. Thank God, too. They begged me for my prescription business and then always took 30 minutes to fill the prescriptions.

I also buy all my DVDs, video games, and music from Target. Not any more.
