[QUOTE="Surfrog, post: 2679461, member: 73111"] 99% of this country's love for the military is surface level at BEST. Hell, Trump just blasted (and lied about) the former CO of ISAF, CO of JSOC, and one of the most influential generals the army has had, who submitted his own resignation after some possibly untrue statements were released in a magazine. His support base who "loves" the military was fine with this, was fine with him blasting Sen. McCain, and was fine with him dodging the draft 5 times. Nike made a choice which is protected by the VERY freedoms our military fights for, yet gets dogged for it. There's a difference between freedom and fascism and I swear most wouldn't know the difference if you hit them over the head with it. Forced patriotism isn't patriotism. Oh, by the way, the move paid off and Nike sales went up 31% after the whole thing. Regarding "Talk - Action = Zero" it's a phrase: [B]Talk is cheap[/B]. It doesn’t cost you anything. What’s the positive result of talking? Nothing. If anything, it might piss someone else off. If you say you are going to do something, then develop a course of action and do it. Results are a side effect of the action. Hope is not a course of action. I cannot begin to describe how many times I have heard: “I [B]want[/B] to lose weight.” “I [B]want[/B] to get stronger.” “We [B]need[/B] to go to that show.” “I [B]want[/B] to build my own brand.” “[B]Let’s[/B] hang out” What do all these have in common? Pleads. Pleads which lack a course of action. Most of these pleads are met with a common response: “I don’t have time.” or “I’m busy.” In a sentence: don’t tell me you don’t have time… just tell me you don’t want it bad enough. Rant/Over.
