: However, racists should be gathered together and burned at the stake. The German people shouldn't be blamed nowhere as much as the US and Britian, because they were the victims of the biggest propaganda campaign ever. But companies like Volkswagen and Bayer knew what they were doing when they did it so that's why I support the boycott.

: The thousands of Allied soldiers who fought and died in Europe are probably rolling in their graves. How can you possibly blame a corporation and even a country who FOUGHT AGAINST Germany for the actions of a madman and his followers. Also, boycotting Bayer really isn't going to help at all. The company has changed leadership and personnel several times since then, and now just make asprin. If it were a different name, you probably would scoop up a couple of their product next time your head begins to hurt.

Bayer Asprin has been made by Sterling Drug, a U.S. Copmany since World War One. Bayer, the German Chemical company that INVENTED asprin has it's name seized by the U.S. Government (as enemy property) and sold to the highest bidder. Bayer Asprin has no connection to the German chemical company Bayer, A.G. and had none at the time that the Nazi's were gassing people.
