Twas thinking the same thing. Tongue

When has there ever been a successful boycott of anything anyway?

I remember reading somewhere in the history books that Greek women refused to have sex with their men until they came back from war in a certain period in history... worked pretty successfully I think. Perhaps that will work if all the women of the world did that now?

Reply #5 - Sep 16^th, 2007 at 4:21pm Plenty of boyoctts have achieved success where other methods have failed. You just have to choose an easy, meaningful target. No idea what this one is about though. Is it something to do with cricket?

It's about boycotting the national game for lack of pride in the nation.

Enjoyment of the national game will return when the nation returns to its former worthy state of being.

Pff, your proclaiming to stop the war for oil when YOUR ALIVE becuase of oil. Without energy security we have no security. When you think about it, in this day and age, us being SO dependent on oil, the oil being in un-stable hands, we have NO CHOICE but to go and secure it ourselves. It's called a SURVIVAL mechagnism.

"We all have blood on our hands", is what I think you are trying to say.
