Coca-cola: The new evil.

I live in vermont, and UVM is going to be the first college to cancel their contract with coca-cola BEFORE it expires, despite the fee, because of coca-cola's recent MURDERING, THREATENING, and KIDNAPPING of union leaders at a bottling plant in colombia, not to mention their polluting and depleting of groundwater sources in india, and their selling toxic waste to farmers in india by claiming it is fertilizer. Ban Coca-Cola from your college! Boycott all Coca-Cola products (did you know coca-cola makes more money from Dasani bottled water than from actual coca-cola?)! Anyway, who would drink that nasty crap? Coca-cola sucks, both as a corporation and as a drink.

 

Dude coca cola aint a new evil....

 

I've been refusing to buy and drink that crap for years. Just make sure you tell everyone you know about what they get up to.

 

but coke is so holy, its the only capitalistical firm that is suportive.

 

but I like coke.

 

I don't drink Coca-Cola but not for ethical reasons.I just don't like the sugary taste.

 

New York University has already done it.


Courts in Colombia and the US have found coke not guilty of any wrongdoing.

What more do you want?

 

whilst i agree with your post, i refute the word recent.

Isidro Segundo Gil along with others were killed many years ago, and im reckoning these are the unionists you're taking about.



My council is ran by a bunch of tossers, who would not tear up the contract though... so ima just take the lead from the french youth

 

sorry man,, but why do you have such a pattern on these forums of going around defending big evil corporations and governments that deserve no defending. There are many many eyewitness accounts of this stuff going on, the rodney king cops got off innocent...does that mean they didnt beat the shit out of rodney king? no.

 

Yeah screw coca cola rock on pepsi!

 

pepsi is a massive front for cocaine and heroin smuggling in the 3rd world, fuck pepsi too.

 

"big evil corporations." You're trying to be fair .

They've been cleared of wrong doing. Do you have any evidence that they hired any paramilitary people to kill workers? If so, please bring it forward.

 

I have the dead bodies of union officials in my closet, and a receipt for several guns bought at walmart with a coca cola company credit card.

 

I dont think coke is bad, via taste wise ... but rootbear is my way to go that or Dr, Pepper.

 

Megara I don't have evidence except the mass tetimonies of the poor workers in the coca cola bottling factories...but that's probably not good enough for you being that you need the american (in)justice system to bring them up on charges,too bad coke is one of the most wealthiest companies and would easily be able to buy their way out of any lgal case...check out these links

You of all people should know that just because you are innocent in the american justice system doesn't mean shit, look at OJ, everyone knows he killed his wife, the American justice system is a sham and will never hold powerful companies like coca cola accountable, and i can't even begin with the columbian justice system...money talks more than truth so all i ask is stop defending these corporations and start asking questions...coca cola has everything to gain of those union activists being murdered, and all they would need to do is hire right wing premilitary death squads to do it for them, it would be easy to leave no trail, when a crime happens the first thing I look at is who has to gain from this, cui bono? that is something you obviously don't look at. Come on Megara, what have these corporations done for you? absolutely nothing other than give your family members diabetes and obesity, what makes you feel like you have to defend them in a forum?

 

and the Colombian inquiry that cleared coke too? Let me guess, paid off by coke? Convenient.

I want facts, not wild conspiracy theories of "its in coca cola's best interests to kill these people."

So what? It is also in my best interests to kill off every other guy in the world so i can get best pick of women in the world too, doesn't mean i will or did.

 

I suggested this on the Pepsi forum, too. If you like cola but are against Pepsi and Coke, try Blue Sky. (It is "natural cola" but still has all the sugar, etc.). I love the Orange Cream but try not to drink soda often.

 

sorry man a life without diet coke would SUCK.

 

I for one will never drink another coke. This is the first I heard of this. And I find it totally plausible. I will not be a pawn of the corporate world. If they want to behave this way, I will not buy their goods. Besides water is free from the tap.

 

I hate drinking coca cola, even mountain dew is better.
