would prevent me from working on anything design-wise for:
Republicans
Tobacco Companies
Gun Companies
Blood Sports
ReligionHow about you? Do you draw the line anywhere. A few jobs ago I refused to work on some branding/marketing stuff for a UK tobacco company and almost lost my job...if you felt that strongly against something would you compromise your morals?

My work asked around if we would object to doing work for a weight loss company. No one really minded. I thought it was good of them to ask.
I agree with your list as well. Definately religion and Tobacco.

i think you have every right to refuse to work on something you find reprehensible, but if you work for a company that assigns the projects to you, they have every right to fire you if/when you refuse.
its good to stand up for what you believe in, no matter what that is.

I meant like working on campaigns for the republican party....
No way in hell I would go near spam campaigns - but it's a relative definition really...

I worked for a bit doing spam... my own sister called me an asshole... I quit

I will not only pass on those jobs for moral reasons, but also because they are usually freaking boring projects.

i left my morals in my other pants

the spam thing was an internship... they didn't sell it to me as such.... I just couldn't justify it to myself... and my sister called me an asshole

In all reality, alcohol effects more peoples lives in negative ways than tobacco. Would you have any problems with doing work for an alcohol company?

drinking is far more destructive than smoking.
but i respect people's opinions if they don't want to work for whatever it is they find objectionable.

I'm sure everyone has a line they wouldn't cross.
Some 'won't do it' lists are just bound to be shorter than others.
