Do
you ever make purchasing decisions based on social or political factors?Once in a great while.
Jane, 62
West Linn, OR
USA
I would have to say that I have, yes. My
phone company does things for the environment and for human rights. I've bought from many
different companies that do thing either organically or used thing bought from smaller
countries to help them make a living. I tried to stay away from grapes during that whole
thing (though I wasn't always religious about it. They're just too darned tasty. Thank
goodness we can buy them guilt-free now.) It doesn't always sway my decision, but
sometimes it does.

I try to avoid sweatshop garments and
produce harvested by underpaid migrant workers, but this can be difficult.
Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA
Not that I'm aware of. I buy what I
want to buy.
Doug2, 29
Overland Park, KS USA
well, yes. i won't buy food from McDonald's,
or buy Nike products, etc. because of certain political/social factors... and i do buy
other food products, etc because of that too.
Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA
Just last night I asked my husband if people
were still boycotting Nestle when I was deciding what chocolate to buy for a staff
meeting. We didn't buy the Crunch bars.

Sometimes I do -- especially recently, I
have bought a lot of Americanized items -- such as flag stickers for my car & a statue
of liberty lighter (for when I smoke).
Melodi, 19
Gahanna, OH
USA
Maybe, partially. . .primarily because those
factors can alter prices.
Karen, 22
Ames, IA
USA
No. I don't think I've ever done
that.
Fisch, 46
Preston, CT
USA
yes
stickman, 27

Only very rarely and not with any great
conviction.
Firelady, 24

often, but inconsistently.
Felicia, 36
Lowell, MA
USA
I TRY not to but I'm sure I do.
Reba, 50+
Silver Spring, MD USA
Sometimes... I won't use Domino's
Pizza because the owners don't support minorities in
business, and the founder is pro-life. I'm sure there are other things. I'm a member of
the NRA, and I will use some things suggested by them..
Nicci, 27
Las Vegas, NV
USA
On
occasion.
Ryan, 28
Riedlingen GERMANY
Not
often, no. There are some things I won't buy or support if I know they help out a cause
I'm against, but that rarely is the case.
