Do your political views play a deciding factor in who you do Biz with? - GoFuckYourself.com

herbal logic · 04-07-2004, 04:40 PM

got to thinking about this reading some these Bush/war threads.

Would reading someones political/religious oppinion influence your decision to do business with them either now or in the future?

everyone is entitled to an opinion
if you dont believe that then u should go join al qaida

of course it wont affect my business dealings

nathan_f · 04-07-2004, 04:42 PM

nah, i wouldnt go that to that extreme. i will however, base who I do business with on their so-called 'board persona'.

people seem to think just because it's text, and the internet, for some reason it doesnt carry as much weight as they would normally act. i find this quite sad, and it's their loss because i cant be the only person to think this way..

Nydahl · 04-07-2004, 04:46 PM

no way

sixxxth_sense · 04-07-2004, 04:48 PM

I think they deffenetly get in the way, not for me though, i was talking about the CNN viewers.

sperbonzo · 04-07-2004, 04:51 PM

definitely not. If I only dealt/interacted with people that had the same views as myself, I wouldn't have nearly as much opportunity to grow as a person......

Besides....business is business

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 04-07-2004, 04:52 PM

Thats a stupid question,

No.

But for those that think I am in real life what I am on the boards I will clue you in. I am a very different person. GFY demands shock so I play it up.

Martin · 04-07-2004, 04:59 PM

None at all.

insanesurfer · 04-07-2004, 05:01 PM

Can't say they do.

Thomas1007 · 04-07-2004, 05:01 PM

not at all
I read the boards to gather info

if reading negative feedback on the boards about someone
I may want to do biz with, I just look for another prospect.

polish_aristocrat · 04-08-2004, 06:04 AM

no, but i added a few ppl to my ingore because of their statements about religion.....i think i will remove them though

jayeff · 04-08-2004, 06:11 AM

Political (or religious) views don't affect with whom I do business. Their ethics would. So would their board persona: even if it doesn't reflect their real personality, it does reflect the audience to which they are playing.

Couldn't have said it better

erehwon · 04-08-2004, 07:56 AM

Nope, I have a very Libertarian view about business.

DR_PHIL · 04-08-2004, 08:00 AM

no..but chinese and russian usually draw a flag

brickbat · 04-08-2004, 08:00 AM

If I disagree on politics with someone I want to do business with, the trick is just not to talk politics with them. It's not very hard.

High Quality · 04-08-2004, 08:01 AM

Absolutely not. Money is money, matter if they're red, green or republican ;)

Rob · 04-08-2004, 08:03 AM

Unless you're at a political meeting then there is no need to bring it up.

Firehorse · 04-08-2004, 08:19 AM

Business is business and politics and religion are best left out of it.
