omg i bought the little chiquita juice boxes in elementary school. we were supporting terrorists!!! :eek: :noes:
 
HAHAHA who would have known!?!? Well I fucking hate bananas, in case anyone was wondering :anon.sml:
 
Paying a terrorist group for protecting banana boxes. Interesting. Unfortunately, in many regions of the world, this is the rule rather than the exception. Many countries have long running civil wars or insurgencies where legit businesses are squeezed between the nominal "legit" government and the localized "freedom fighters"(their enemies call them terrorists).
 
Wasn't there a 'rumor' that Macdonald's was funding the IRA at one some moment in time?

Thats why that fine is bullshit. What are they supposed to do, not pay for protection, what happens to them then?
 
Eh..

Whatever......

I tend to agree with you. There's really no other way. Take the country I'm based in, the Philippines, for example. It has a 30+ year raging war with the Maoist New People's Army. It is STANDARD BUSINESS PRACTICE for farmers and agribusinesses in rebel held territories to pay TWO taxes--1 tax to the government and 1 tax to the "revolutionary" government that holds that area. Sucks ass. :( Good thing my company is based in Metro Manila so we only pay tax once. Sucks for companies based in rebel held areas though.
