That is probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. I am sure you’ll grow out of it though.

Let’s say for example I didn’t like the way, say…cows are slaughtered (just using an example, I love a good steak). That would be the equivalent of me never ever wanting to set foot in a restaurant that served cows. The staff of the restaurant themselves didn’t kill the bovine.

Or what if I was anti-drug (which actually I am in this case) and said I’d never set foot in The Netherlands because of their lax drug policies. Again same thing, and equally as ridiculous.

It’s not difficult unless you make it so.

You and Philip need to get a clue. Your friends are not trash. They are people.

I like pvanhoof’s reply to that exact same comment:

Not throwing paper (or dirt) on the ground but in stead putting it in a trashbin also won’t change anything to the pollution of this planet. Yet, out of principle, I don’t do it.

I fail to see how by visiting a country you support or not supporting a PART of it (foreign policy in this case). Sure, you might pay a bit of tax on the ticket or whatever, but this is hardly “supporting” it.

This is just plain overreacting, from both you and Philip. You revenge on your friends and Gnome, instead of USA’s foreign policy and this is unfair.

If you have a problem with USA’s foreign policy, write them a letter. I bet you never did.
