    I will still be buying American products when I need to. Wonder what would happen if a Benny popped up for sale again in shop, I'm betting a lot of people would turn a blind eye and purchase it, even though they said they will no longer buy American goods. This boycotting American stuff is getting out of hand

    getting out of hand?
    Just commenting on a lot of these threads latley calling for the banning of American products. To each their own, I for one will not let the state of things stop me from buying American products or stop me from visiting the USA.
    Please point me in direction of other boycotting threads of American products .

    if yoyure going to boycott 'american' products, just make sure they were actually manufactured IN AMERICA... and not somewhere else, like say, mexico or central america. ;)

    Like trumps products you mean?
    no... im speaking generally. i mean if youre going to boycott 'american' products, make sure they are actually MADE in the US by US companies and not just made by an american company in a FOREIGN country, otherwise youre going to disadvantage non american workers who work below the poverty line.

    All products made by American companies are fair game. Doesn't matter where they are made.

    if you want to target actual American products, you'll have to be more specific because there isnt much out there. Perhaps US manufactured automobiles?

    There is one or two other threads, not going to flip thru to find them, there isn't a ton, but some.
    So what if there is an American made product that your family absolutely needs to get by, survive ot whatever the reason may be. You telli me you won't purchase it?
    The last part isnt directed specifically to you Jose, just saying

    Just wondering: if Pearl Jam played a show in your country this year would you boycott them since they are an American product? (Not trying to be a dick)
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I think I'll join in and start boycotting Mexican goods as well. I can grow chili peppers in my own garden. No need to buy a vehicle at this point...think I'm good on most everything else.

    chili peppers die when the temperature gets below freezing. doesn't happen often in Mexico.

    If you are a serious gardener or even consumer, you know that almost all of our out of season produce is from Mexico, and it is no laughing matter.

    All good, I preserve those that I grow so I have enough year round. Now that I think about it, there's not a hell of a lot I buy from Mexico anyways!
