    As hard as it sounds, please stand up to this bullying by the US president- shop local, buy local, try only buy things made outside of the US

    I'm really thinking that most people in the US have already unconsciously boycotted products made in the US, since almost everything we buy is made in China...

    Stop embarrassing yourself, Americans are friendly and cool people, I don't want to boycott them.
    Yes, I love Donald Trump and his racism. It's very friendly.
    "Americans are cool and friendly people" What a huge generalisation.

    This is not a 'friendly and cool people' issue. I have nothing against Americans themselves, just against their leader who is all set on spreading hatred, fear and economic ruin throughout the world. I'm not embarrassed at all. Educate yourself - it sounds like you have had your head in the sand for the last week!
    You can boycott all you want, but what do you think of the possibility that Europe will start following in the same trace, we already have Brexit and England is talking about taking back control over their boarders.

    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)

    Yeah, only saw them 3 times and 2 of those were bad, so I wouldn't be bothered going to see them again anyway.
    Your argument just went out the door when saying 66% of the Pearl Jam shows you seen were bad.
    In my opinion they were. I don't expect you to feel the same. Oh sorry, I am on their forum, so I can't be critical at all - I forgot.
    You can be critical, it just has to make sense.

    2 out of 3 bad shows? That doesn't make sense.
    What really makes no sense is why you paid to be a Ten Club member if you aren't that into the band??? You can't post here without the membership so what was your motive for joining the fan club? Do you post in the other forums here or is your sole purpose for joining so you can post in AMT to dis the US and Pearl Jam?

    people can be fans and not like the live show. I don't agree with the OP's suggestion about boycotting, but stop focusing on the show comment. it doesn't lessen the OP's credibility. that's ridiculous.

    I'm not boycotting American music.
    Anything else would be easy - it's getting pretty hard to find anything that is made in the USA these days. When I see that that something is made in the USA here in Canada I'm mildly surprised.

    That kinda defeats the point of using the term "boycott"...maybe "Boycotting things I don't like" would be the title of that book...just saying
