A conundrum

    Mod, just so you know I wasn't taking what you said as against me personally in anyway. I certainly don't think you should be pressured to take your business elsewhere for fear people will think you're pro-chester the child molester. I was just trying to offer another perspective.

    Sarah, good to know. We have no home improvement monies right now, but when we do I'll head over there. 

    I knew. And I didn't think that. I am just not as articulate on how I feel as I want to be. Probably because I am not completely sure how I feel

  • Oh, good. I think I sometimes come off as more aggressive than I mean to. Sometimes I'll be giggling and I find out people thought I was angry.

    I've now not spent a couple hundo at Target, but Xmas might break me.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • Wait, why are people boycotting Target? Or do I want to remain blissfully ignorant?

    Am I the only one who sees a distinction between asking a library not to carry something and asking a bookstore to drop something offensive? I don't think it's censorship if Amazon doesn't carry something.

    I'm with you.  And it's not a First Amendment issue at all.

    Agreed.

  • I don't see a problem with Amazon pulling the book.  I agree with fallin completely that there is a category of materials that should not be available for wide distribution.  Also, I don't think it's incongruous with Amazon's own policy - they've decided not to sell things before that don't meet their specific standards.

    You want to be blissfully ignorant. Le sigh.

  • Target donated a 150K to a candidate in Minnesota who is anti-gay rights.  Best Buy did the same, but with less money.

    I did not know about the Home Depot thing SB, but now I'll shop there exclusively.  Thanks!

  • Since I heard about the Target boycott a few months ago, I've tried to forget that I know about it.  I continue to shop there, and rationalize my decision nine ways to Sunday.
  • Stupid Target! 

    That's good to hear about Home Depot!  I'll have to look into that and see if there's one anywhere close to my house.

    Only the ones I buy at Target.

    Ditto. I feel shame.

    If only Home Depot sold inexpensive sweaters and had a pharmacy.

  • I love Wal-Mart, so I am not likely to boycott Target.  Also, I don't recycle.

    Mod, can you tell me more about how self-publishing on Amazon works?  Do they set a flat rate to put your book up for sell on their site or do they take a portion of each book sold?  I think this makes a difference to how I see their responsibility.

  • I think (and am pretty sure) the way it works is the author publishes the book through an automated process on Amazon to get it listed and sets a price. I believe Amazon has a minimum price of like $1. Amazon keeps a % portion of the sales.
