for everyone
last night i overheard my brother told my nephews about boycotting mc d, kfc and starbuck. apparently my 7 and 8 years old nephews have some concern about what happen in palestine. they told me that if i bought starbuck cofee, my money will be given the the starbuck 'boss' and the 'boss' will buy bomb to kill the kids and their 'mama' at palestine. it is more complicated than that but somehow they got the idea. and also good for my brother, he doesnt hv to buy mcd/kfc to the kids anymore (temporary).
boycotting US and israel product become a big issue whether is it reasonable or not. some ppl believe that malaysian will suffer more rather than US if we boycot US product. being dependent to US based product, it might be a good point.
will it hurt to boycot mc d, kfc and starbuck? you can choose between paying RM18 for a cup of coffee and contribute into killing innocent lives in palestine OR buy 5 cups (or more) with that RM18 and having a good time with friends, hangout at kopitiam.
we might not be able to put their business into bankruptcy but at least they might feel the heat.

yup. usually i don't boycott all these products although people have told me to do so because before this, the boycott is only done in small scale. however, this time, the boycott is being done in large scale, which i believe it will give some effect to the companies effected. so yeah, i am with it.

i must say your 7 and 8 year old nephews are smarter than some people that i know, at least they are not ignorance. there are lots of substitutes for the israel/jewish/israel supporter's products in Malaysia, and seriously it won't harm us if we use different products once in a while.

and yes, i am into this boycotting thingy too!!! so lets hang-out at the kopitiam ye guys~ (huhu aku mmg lagi prefer kopitiam dari starbucks pun XD)

i dont know how much our voice are heard on criticizing what happen in palestine but i'm sure boycotting might be the least we can do. boycotting is not because other ppl do it but it is more about what we believe in. in bright side...boycotting this product might do good for us..physically (not consuming unhealthy food) and financially ( no more rm18 per sup of coffee)
