This friday, please refrain from making any purchases of any kind. The day after thanksgiving kicks off the holliday buying frenzy, and for the past 11 years there has been a growing contingency protesting the spending habits of americans, as well as others. do yourself a favor, and protest this corporate holliday

Hey, after you take a crap and wipe your butt and then go to wash your hands, do you guys turn on the faucet with your wipe hand or the other one?

Normally, i'd say, YES, I'M IN!' But I plan on going skiing, and I like to ski. AQnd it's first day, and it's not at my home hill, so I will need to buy a pass.

i'm down with buy nothing day - i'm also down with culture jamming. we should start a little jamming posse here on NS.

 
i am part of a small and unorganized culture jamming club, also known as a bunch of leftist crazies who do something about it, and we are handing out flyers for buy nothing day at local malls and other points of large scale holliday purchase. wheee!

i see it this way, if i don't buy anything today, im just gonna buy more tomorrow. protests like this never work anyway

Res. Security: What's that in your hand?

My buddy: Beer!

Res. Security: Dump it out please!

My Buddy: Can I just chug it real quick? It'll be gone just as fast!

Res. Security: Give me your student card! You're gettin written up!
 
But why not, eh? It's not like it's hurting any. And protests like this must kindof work if the word is spreading as much as it has since the whole BND started.

*yawn*

Yeah its not cool to brag about how you bought shit. This isn't about a bunch of leftists trying to be cool. This is about the fact that Regan fucked up and knocked alot of Anti Trust laws allowing corperations to merge and control markets at an obscene level. The same people who are making disney toys in haitian sweatshops are controling not only the media but the doctrinal system. I am very scared for my freedom. We are just trying to free your minds. Life is not about possesions and until you understand that your purpose in life will be to fuel the machine. Hip Hop punk and skating have all been tainted by corperations and the same shit is happening in skiing. So if you want to be able to blow without rocking baggy pants and doo rags I would suggest you take a serious look at whats up.

Peace

 
this is dumb, by not spending money u send the economy into the toliet which fucks over everyone, including u and ur family, also, the ski industry will have to cut costs and since freestyle skiing is one of their less profitable ventures, they will cut back on it leavin us fucked cause we will have nothing to ski on...

so before u say something stupid like that, realize what u are suggesting we do, KILL SKIING!!

to that i say NEVER!!!!!!!

Being Irish, I guess I should resent the Notre Dame nickname 'The Fighting Irish.' After all, how long do you think nicknames like 'The Bargaining Jews' or 'The Murdering Italians' would last? Only the Ironic Irish could be so naively honset. I get the feeling that Notre Dame came real close to naming itself 'The Fuckin Drunken, Thick-Skulled, Brawling, Short-Dicked Irish'
 
I'm sorry but I'm about to flame. Yeah it will hurt your family? Faggot think about all the people capitalism hurts. Your fucking ignorant. Look at africa you fucking moron, look at south america look at the american black population. You honestly should never talk because you don't know shit about shit. North america (save mexico) is wealthy, europe is wealthy australia is wealthy new zeland is wealthy, thats it bitch. The rest of the world, the majority of the people are getting fucked over by our consumption habits. What about the earth? We are consuming at a rate over 300 time sustainability. Read a book bitch

 
i dont live in africa so what the fuck do i care...

and unless u have been there doing community service or u send money every month or something like that then neither do u, actions are what counts not words, so quit bullshitting urself, and dont attack capitalism because right now that seems to be the best way to do things, why do u think all of the places u just named got wealthy??

Explain to me how Buy Nothing Day hurts capitalism in the first place? If you think it does, your missing the point of the day.

so it has come this this. bibskis thinks that by buying things, he's helping the world. i guess 15-20 odd years of being brought up in a capitalist democracy has finally proven that it can brainwash simple minded people! i for one realize the inequalities of the world, and do things to attempt to stop the spread. anybody else that realizes these things gets the inner satisfaction. i personally don't want bibskis to realize what it is the world has become. just please don't try to spread your regressive ways to us. thank you.

 
fuck that. capitalism is the shit. infact on buy nothing day i am gonna buy more than usual to make up for the tree hugging liberals who dont buy anything.

 
you're an idiot. buy nothing day was last week. go back to being ignorant.. actually, you will always be ignorant because you're narrow minded and selfish. i hope you never have children.

 
i never said i was helping the world, i said i was helping myself, im being selfish not ignorant u moron

The day after Thanksgiving was chosen for BUY NOTHING DAY because the advertising and retail industries have hyped it as THE shopping day for the holiday season for so long that it is difficult to separate the two. Instead of spending money on this day that has for years been associated with little but the start of a month-long spending spree

It a protest about how companies keep attempting to extend the holiday season in attempt to boost profits. Every year it seems companies try to put out their Holiday gifts/deals out earlier and earlier. The point of the day is to keep the holiday season something special. There is nothing wrong with buying gifts for loved ones, just keep the holidays special!

c'mon kids... socialism? naw... marx himself said that there were only three places he believed his version of communism could work... and africa wasnt one of em... neither were china, cuba, or russia. socialism has suceeded in nations that were moderatly well off to start with, so dont say that capitolism is to blame... afirca would be jacked economicly regardless of our economic policy... you cant give meaningfull financial aid to nations where the food and money will just be seized by a warlord anyhow. i cant stand people, and americans in particular who bash capitolism, and then use the word ignorant in the same sentance. if not for capitolism you woulnt have a computer to type your nonsensical drivel.
