Now since you touched the topic of 9/11/2001 – yes, indeed it was an inside job. Architects, engineers, firemen, pilots, the dead key witnesses confirm that:

You may need to enlarge them with your software. All 4 images are important to look at and read completely to understand what’s happening.

Also go to any convertible with black top and loo towards the sun. You will see all the chem fibers on the black material very well. I just did it today and the guy at the HONDA dealership was fascinated to discover the truth.

This is on topic, because some people consider certain issues as business and some as religion. For example: conspiracy deniers sometimes are so in denial that they become religiously denialous. All I’m trying to do is help you all to discover the crap you’;ve been breathing for years now. Most of your diseases and cancer comes from stuff like chemtrails, cellular towers etc. Wish you all the best.

Until you’ve done that, or can point to someone who’s done that, you are not welcome to post anything here on the topic of chemtrails whatsoever. I’ve done enough science in my life, read enough and seen the logical flaws in the whole concept. I’m not about to waste any more of my time on such ignorant bullshit.

Please read my comments policy. If it isn’t clear enough, do come back to me with any questions.

This post is about whether a business should be seen to get itself involved with politics or not, about political principle versus the pursuit of profits. As the final question asks, “Where does one draw the line between business and politics (and religion)?” It is about business practice. You are currently well off-topic, and that’s my decision to make, not yours.

I understand that point entirely. But ignorance is why so many Bad Things are allowed to flourish. Perhaps I’m making the argument that we should (yes, that “should” word) be making more informed choices about who we do business with.

Obviously, though, all business involves compromise…

(I tended to avoid Gloria Jean’s before that, but that’s only because I like variety and will always choose the unknown corner café over the high-profile franchise.)

@Cassie ST: I think you explain the line-drawing very well. If the gut feeling says it’s wrong, it’s wrong. Even if we can’t consciously put it into words.

Isn’t there a song in The Simsons about “doing a half-arsed job” being “the American way”?

When the queazy feeling in the pit of your stomach, the nagging doubt hammering away in the back of your mind, the feeling that you need to scrub down when you bank the cheque, just won’t go away, and you wish you hadn’t said yes.

I mix business, politics and religion all the time. Like your header says Stil., “All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal.”

It’s not the political or religious persuasion per se, it’s the ethics behind it and behaviour displayed, yes?

Where is it written that people have to be fair and do business with people they’d rather not do business with?

Agree with Alistair, ignorance is bliss, but once you know, well, then it’s your choice isn’t it? And then a whole heap of other interesting computations and trade-offs come into play. (This from personal experience boycotting whole countries and trans nats over the years, in protest/solidarity for whatever)

If you feel uneasy about doing business with someone for ethical reasons; unless you’re in the employ of a dictator, it’s no-one else’s business but yours, should you choose to say “no, sorry, can’t do this job for you”.

(@Matt F: Nah, don’t do a poor job, that affects your reputation AND Karma. You just sic … err … “recommend” them onto your worst enemy/competitor in the field. They deserve each other, right?)

It seems to me, from personal observation and anecdotal evidence over the years; that the only people who wrestle with their conscience over this sort of dilemma, are the people whose gut feeling says “no”, even as they shake on the deal.

And you can be sure that the “client” is having no such tussle with their feelings over the contract, except perhaps regarding prompt payment, if at all, for services rendered, having transmorgified into the client from hell quicker than you can say – DOUW!
