Naw, it didn't stop any other company i boycotted, and thinking it does is actually a silly idea to consider if you give it a minute to be in the ol' noggin.

If it did make a difference there'd be a bunch of astroturf campaigns against voting with your wallet, wouldn't there?

The only thing that stops this is something we're not ready for yet.

EDIT: wimps.

It doesn't make a difference unless enough people boycott. The problem is not enough people care enough to actually stop going there to hurt their revenue.

Then there's the problem with the current political division, at least in the US, where if something upsets one side, the other likes to dig in to stick it to them and often winds up giving the boycotted company more money than they'll ever lose.
