    Oh......... right.

    I was just thinking of someone who had been raised without Disney or musical theatre and just how empty their life would be and how miserable a human being they'd be.

    It didn't occur to me that you could introduce them to it and brighten their life to an infinitely better degree. Oooops :)

    So you judge someone else’s entire life on their not having been exposed to random shit you enjoy?

    That is some SERIOUS main character syndrome ya got there. It’d be like me telling someone;

    “Wait! You don’t know music theory? Your life must be torture! How could you not know the order of tones and semitones in a major scale?! OMG! How depressing!”

    shrug People need more musical theatre in their life.

    Search your feelings. You know it is true.

    What you exposure to 1980s British comedy? Because if you don't have an encyclopaedic knowledge of it I could say the same thing about you.

    I know a fair amount - from Blackadder to Fawlty Towers, from The New Statesman to Yes Minister. I am not unaware of it :)

    I love how you completely failed to get my point.

    You're trying to shame people for not being interested in the things you like it's just weird. It doesn't make them bad people or mean that they had a bad life just because they don't engage in the same media as you.

    No - I got your point.

    I just thought it was funny how you tried to make a point using 80s British comedy and failed in such a spectacular way.

    Made me smile.

    Okay - here's the thing about "awful companies"

    If I listened to everyone who said "OH NO! YOU HAVE TO BOYCOTT THIS COMPANY BECAUSE.........." then I would literally not be able to buy food, petrol, drinks, electricity, gas or anything.

    At a certain point - I can't remember when - I decided that I coculd either be a completely ethical and moral person or just say "screw it - the world is a crappy place and honestly there's very little I can do about it"

    I don't kill. I don't molest people. I don't steal. I don't blow things up. For the most part I think I am a relatively good person.

    If I give my patronage to companies that other people think are "a bit awful" then that's their problem, not mine.
