A bad product might be well within legal and health guidelines in another country. Don't blame a company in another country for trying to make money, blame your country's health guidelines for allowing them to sell it.

No. That's a business and every business has to have its profits. but, why do you have to go that far? Me, personally dont believe in that, that's trash for me. Hey why dont you buy something nice to that person instead of feeding those liers... :)

No.  However I would gladly do something that's ethical but illegal.

I assume you mean that the U.S. competitor to the company you did buy the item from goes out of business.\n\nNo.  There's no moral obligation to buy U.S. made products.  It's the responsibility of U.S. businesses to make things of high enough quality and low enough price to be competitive for your money.  They should earn their profits.  Consumers don't owe them anything.

Do we really want to bathe in the milk (or oil) of human misery?\nGod! I hope not. Let's try and keep some dignity over this entire disgusting mess.

interesting point.  although, if i have a problem with merchandise, i don't expect anyone to work overtime to fix it.  get to it when you get back or pass it on.\n\nmaybe it's the human desire to have things that are pleasing to them and in turn they themselves want to please others???

I believe you are being moral..they are two totally different issues to deal with..and both have options and room for opinions..=)

If you mean, do they violate other people's copyrights,\nthe answer is yes.\nIf you mean, do they prevent competitors from succeeding,\nthe answer is yes.\nIf you mean, do they violate monopoly and anti-trust laws,\nthe answer is yes.\nIf you mean, do they steal from their customers, that's a\nmatter of debate.\nIf you mean, did they steal their company (from a previous\nowner), the answer is no.\nIf you mean something else, please clarify.

i think that's ok, as long as what you are selling isn't soemthing that is really meaningful to someone else, like you wouldn't sell your mum's wedding ring just to buy your girlfriend/boyfriend a present.

You would never buy anything from a store again practically if you boycotted every unethical company. So many do bad things. You have to choose what is too much. I do believe in boycotting and that you can make a difference. Large companies have changed things in the past because of the people.

Hrm...you just gave me a great idea.\n\nI wonder how many scatophiles out there would pay on e-bay for MY poopie panties!\n\nOn second thought, here's an interesting news tidbit:\n\nWednesday, July 10 2002, 14:09\n\nANDERSON, South Carolina - Mail workers in South Carolina discovered a "special" package which lead investigators to an internet business of selling soiled panties.\n\nChristine Vetter pleaded guilty yesterday to federal charges of selling her dirty underwear over the internet to make extra money. South Carolina U.S. Attorney Strom Thumond Jr. released a statement saying Vetter ran an internet business selling the items.\n\nVetter made approximately US $9,000 from November 2000 to March 2002 selling and mailing soiled underwear and other used feminine hygiene and used sex-related goods on the web site while studying at Clemson University.\n\nShe faces a $250,000 fine or 5 years in jail on charges of "mailing indecent and filthy substances."\n\nUS Postal agents decided to investigate further when they found a letter addressed to Vetter which stated that it contained child pornography. Upon opening the letter, no child pornography material was found. According to the contents of the letter, it appears to be a customer of the web site who was not satisfied with what he received from her.\n\nThe web site is not up anymore. (Zone81.com)\n-----\n\nAlso, as a separate issue, if YOU'RE the one who's planning to mail the poop to your prospective clients' enemies, then you're also guilty of another federal offense for harrassing somebody through the mail.

Yes, it is exploiting another country's resources.  The question then is whether it is an unfair exploitation.  After all, we are talking about ambulances and people in emergency situations.  If we can save a life by allowing this, I'm for it.

No.  Only those who have the power to kill the planet in their hands.  I mean, littering on the sidewalk can hardly be compared to all the pollution created by the multi-millionare companies and the worst part is they get away with it.  Not that littering is right at all, but my point is, there is a huge difference when it comes to guilt.  Don't you think?

Call the owner or manager and tell on the rep. This is highly un-ethical. \n\nSee what you can do to do business with other suppliers.\n\nDon't share customer names when you're getting quotes.

Unethical?- yes.  Illegal?- unfortunately, no.

It's very sweet that you want to boycott based on your morals, but it doesn't make much since.  Every ingredient used in hygiene products will be or has already been tested on animals, it is against the law not to.  So a company that "does not test on animals" just has someone else do the testing, or only uses ingredients tested by their competitors.
