Would you refuse to do business with someone over their war views? - GoFuckYourself.com

Gutterboy · 03-23-2003, 02:40 PM

I've already had one kook say he will never do business with me because I posted a poll about the war, so: how many of you would not do business with someone over their board persona, war views, or other shit that goes on here?

I know a few gentle, sensitive souls have refused to do business with Labret over board shit.. so I'm curious.

cluck · 03-23-2003, 02:41 PM

Mixing business and politics when it doesn't need to be mixed is retarded.

Amputate Your Head · 03-23-2003, 02:42 PM

over a board persona? No...

but real life views, possibly, if the shit is thrown in my face outside of GFY... GFY is voluntary. No one makes anyone come here.

Manga1 · 03-23-2003, 02:42 PM

It's never a good idea to mix politics or religion with business. You shouldn't be posting your political opinions on this board if you expect to do business with people here. Not very smart.

candyflip · 03-23-2003, 02:42 PM

Anyone who would let their political opinions get in the way of business isn't someone that I'd want to do business with anynow...so

'em!

rooster · 03-23-2003, 02:43 PM

I wont do business with anoyone that hopes for usa casualties.

pimpcat · 03-23-2003, 02:45 PM

people that base sound business decisions over some internet bullshit war talk shouldnt be in business.

In other words.. If i chose to not do business with you cause you had a certain opinion, or stated how YOU felt about something would just be plain stupid.. I feel bad for week minded people that get all in a tizzy over other peoples views and take everything so personal. i say fuck them and I dont need their business if they are that insecure about things.

Brujah · 03-23-2003, 02:45 PM

Sure. I wouldn't want to do business with anyone who is anti-war yet pro-casualty. Including anyone that wishes the US suffers greatly in one way or another.

Gutterboy · 03-23-2003, 02:46 PM

Personally I don't give a fuck.

If it was beneficial to my online enterprise I would do business with someone who wanted to wipe every Allah worshipping sand ****** from the face of the earth just as soon as I would someone with the same views about Americans.

rooster · 03-23-2003, 02:47 PM

I agree, a board persona is just that, but I absolutely would not do business with anyone in real life that held the views that some of these persona's hold.

No, but I know a few who wouldn't...

Hey Rooster, want to do business....hahaha

word...

like I said... it's fuckin dumb to base a business decision on shit you read VOLUNTARILY on a bbs. No one is forcing anyone to be here. Don't wanna read the shit? Don't. No one to blame but yourself if ya do...

but if someone starts pushing their fucking anti-American bullshit in my face in a method that is NOT voluntary to me... then fuck 'em. I reserve the right to fuck you up.

Brujah · 03-23-2003, 02:50 PM

what the hell kind of stance is Anti-War/Pro-Casualty anyway ?

Gman.357 · 03-23-2003, 02:51 PM

Most of the people who express (or should I say ATTEMPT to express) the most extreme views of either side, such as "I hope USA gets another 911", or "I hope Iraqi citizens die" are usually anons, and you wouldn't know who they are anyway.

I would HOPE, in all honesty, that most people's view of the world (and this war) are more complex than their GFY persona leads everyone to believe. Regardless of which "side" they're on.

Business should not be mixed with political views or religious preferences.
However, when you have an asshole like directfiesta, it would be hard to ignore his anti American views and do business with him.
Obviously, you should not violate any trade embargoes...

gothweb · 03-23-2003, 02:54 PM

I don't think I would refuse business over stuff like that. After all, I doubt I agree 100% on any subject with *anyone* on this board. I still work with a few of you.

If you or anyone emailed me about buying traffic, I would help get you some traffic. Period. As long as people don't carry their asshole-ish attitudes over into business, as long as people actually pay their business debts and deliver what they say they will deliver, then I have no professional quarrel with anyone.

I agree with that. Some antiwar protestors have been doing things worthy of a beat down no matter how you feel about the conflict.

If someone jumped on my car, got in my face, or otherwise invaded my space, I'd beat them even if I agreed with the issue they were protesting.

Acctually anyone who does know shit about how to conduct business knows that politics and religion should always be avoided in work, and in business dealings. Just because you may do all your biz from home and may never meet face to face doesnt mean that just "anything goes". It's bad biz.
If you want to post your beliefs on this board either pro or anti war you should be able to accept and reap whatever consequences come.
If you were doing biz with anyone anywhere USA or abroad and mix your religious beliefs with your political beliefs and the person you are doing biz with is offended then yeh..you could lose their biz....
The reality of it is GFY mixes biz with personal posts. Thats all well and good, Just dont be surprised if after you spout certain beliefs that some indivduals wont do biz with you.
Every one has the right to say and post what they want. But if you do it and think that you can just go about biz as usual without some resentment from other people in the biz...then you are a fool.
Dont mix biz with political and religious beliefs

Don't be ridiculous.

First - Where did I wish that America suffer heavy casualties?

Secondly - Supposing I had said such a thing, why is that any less malicious than all the people on this board who've posted their hope that lots of Iraqi's die? It isn't, so stop whining.

If you are brainwashed enough to believe that an Iraqi human being's life is worth intrinsically less than an American human beings life, so be it. Just don't misrepresent my views to support your delusions.

No, I'm just not stupid.

Unlike yourself, I recognize that for various reasons -- many of them beyond the realm of personal control and responsibility -- people hold wildly divergent views. Some of them very extreme.

I also know that because of the nature of these sorts of beliefs, they are almost impossible to change in a head on confrontation.. debating, reasoning and the like.

In addition, I realize that someone can hold a view that seems like total lunacy to me in one area of life, yet be entirely competent when it comes to their professional dealings.

So, as long as don't think their professional judgement is impaired, I do not consider the fact that someone may hold opinions I consider kooky to be a good reason for not doing business with them.

One mans sacred theology is anothers comedy.

Libertine · 03-23-2003, 04:21 PM

While I don't care about a person's political views when doing business with them, I do care about how likely they are to go and screw something up. Now, in a few select cases here on a gfy it becomes very clear that the person is very likely to screw something up, simply because they have the mental abilities of a seaslug.

One thing is to piss each other off for fun and just hang around.
Another thing is to hope for casualties on coalition side.

My country, Denmark, has soldiers in the war side by side with US and UK and I support freedom.
If it takes a war so be it but I don't pick clients or partners because of their opinion.
