37. As goes the owner so goes the product?
Wed May 8, 2013, 04:28 PM
May 2013

I don't think its necessary to reject facebook because the owner is pro oil. Don't get me wrong, I'm as bleeding heart as the next guy, but just because one person is a conservative doesn't mean the entire company and its product are. Chic Filet a may have a bigot, homophobic, uneducated owner, but thats no reason not to eat at chic fil a. (The reason not to eat at chic fil a is cause its disgusting fast food from a big corporation that doesn't care as much about the consumer as it does about profits) Plus, just because Zuckerberg is making more or less money, does not mean he will necessarily be spending more or less on lobbying. Also, has anyone stopped to see what OTHER political views. I for one am a moderate democrat who believes drugs and alcohol are bad, social security and welfare need nonpartisan reform, Raising taxes does not do long term benefit to the economy. AM I AN EVIL SON OF A BITCH!?
