Do you think Christians should boycott Direct TV and DIsh network? Edited?

I understand that pornography is a choice and PPV on these services (many people don't know they offer hard core XXX channels).I understand also that we can choose to watch good channels.What I'm stating is, if all Christians who think pornography is disgusting, immoral, and adulterous were to cancel their whole service, then millions of subscriptions would be lost to Direct TV and Dish Network. This would create an effect for these companies to re-consider even providing pornography through their service and send this smut back to the dark alley stores & mail order.Basically "Why support a company that provies complete debachery channels and why not ban them until they change their ways". Even though sombody has a right to pornography, we also have rights to boycott companies that provide and sell it.No different than boycotting a video store with a "back room porn section" except this would be more powerful as satellite is "anonymous".By the way, the internet is not 1 company. Just FYI

it is peoples choice. not someone esles opoin being forced on others.
here is your problem. not only does direct & dish have it, but you better drop your cable. Oh yea, your internet better go also, lots of porn available (so why are you useing it). Better not be with any single people, God forbid they ever have sex.
Get a life.

I think Christians should learn to deal with their own, personal, problems before causing hurt in someone else's life. These companies wouldn't offer that if someone didn't want it.

They don't actually offer XXX channels, but they offer channels that could be reasonably considered porn.I'm still wondering why you aren't boycotting "The Internets."

Don't get Direct TV or the Dish Network. Other people might want it but boycotting it is not the answer. If you don't like something then go away.

I agree. I don't think people understand how serious addiction to pornography is and how it control's some people's lives...I knew a man that was so addicted to pornography and phone sex it ruined his life and his name. If we can make drugs illegal, why not pornography that equally ruin's people's lives?

Are you retarded? There's nothing disgusting or immoral about porn or sex. There's tons of porn online, maybe you should do us a favor and cancel your internet subscription.
