ok I'm all for freedom but you won't make a difference I promise. Your day of buying nothing will accomplish little and will not change prices. It won't change advertisment, marketing strategy it wont change anything the following day will be the same as the day before. No 'evil' corporation is going to have some life changing experience and decid trying to turn a profit is foolish and selfish. These 'evil' corporations are building our economy and giving millions jobs.

You basically accomplish nothing. It's a romantic idea grant you.... You still consume though, therefore, re supply the day prior or after.... lining pockets, although on a different day. I suppose the 30 hour famine is more functional....

Do you fucking people really think by not spending any money for ONE whole day its going to change anything? Honestly? Sure it sounds like a good idea but your not changing a thing, for one such a small ammount of the population is actually going to not buy anything its not going to make a difference. People need to stop worry about all this bullshit and just live your life, you would be alot happier

... The ignorance is overwhelming.

I can see how deep the conditioning goes.

but Nothing Day isn't going to change things in one day. It's a statement of our discontent for unethical, money grubbing corporations, as well as the 'Civilized' world's disgusting comsumption.

hippies always have something to cry about? If you weren't so fucking ignorant, you'd be crying too you fucking selfish prick.

co-flow, it's individuals such as yourself that have caused the problem to escalate to such a level that no one knows how to stop corporations from destroying the earth. And unless you know the issues, don't feel you're qualified to make an educated opinion, cause obviously, you are not. Go take some world issues courses...even though I know you're going to say you have, and you know all about it....you don't know shit. Whose side are you on?

it has nothing to do with differing opinions. It has to do with you telling others what they stand for:

'Do you fucking people really think by not spending any money for ONE whole day its going to change anything? Honestly? Sure it sounds like a good idea but your not changing a thing, for one such a small ammount of the population is actually going to not buy anything its not going to make a difference. People need to stop worry about all this bullshit and just live your life, you would be alot happier'

Is this your solution?

you think thats the answer?

No, thats your answer, and it's a pessimistic, opinionated comment telling people that they don't mean shit, and their actions don't mean shit.

You believe what you say? fine. But don't try to make others believe what you believe, because you can keep on smiling in your world of ignorance. You took a peek out the door into the world, didn't think that world included you, and closed the door to do whatever you want with a big smile on your face, attacking everyone who steped out that door and screamed at the world that' I am here, I am a source of power and change, you better be ready!'

Don't tell me to practice what I preach, I'll do what I want. I love being a hypocrite. I know I won't make much change in the world as a whole, but what I do know, is I am my master of my universe, my immediate 360, and I have an influence over everyone that enters that circle. That is my universe, and That is what I care about most. Everybody crosses paths with millions of people throughout their lives. If you influence some of them a little bit, that is a change. The more people you influence, the greater that influence, that is the only way to create major change. I am playing my part. If you want to influence people in thinking like you...that's your business. I still have my right to think and say that your way is not helping to solve any of my beliefs or ideals.
Just keep thinking the way you do...most people do anyways. Im not trying to escape this society..Im trying to rationalize it and my actions and interactions within it.

Lame

The purpose of this idea is to make a statement, not by inflicting monetary harm on corporations (since you will need to buy what you need that day before or after) but by the very act of what is in essence a legal form of mass civil disobedience.

Some people agree with this idea, some do not (I don't). Is it really that hard for people on both sides of the issue to support a view without lambasting those on the other side? Just because someone doesn't want to spend no money on the 23rd skipimp, doesn't necessarily make them ignorant, naive, or any of the other terms you've thrown out there.

speaking of being a hypocrite I'm glad you can admit it....

'it has nothing to do with differing opinions. It has to do with you telling others what they stand for'

Isnt that basiclly what you did with this post in the first place? You tried to gain momentum for a 'stand' against corporations destroying the earth and whatnot. You gave your opinion.....I came back with mine, it doesnt matter who is right and who is wrong. You are so close minded that once somebody challenged your view on the subject you attack them. Your way is the right way and that final, well I'm not going to sit back behind my monitor and keep my mouth shut. Whether you agree with it or not its my right. I could give a fuck if you think I'm ignorant, but instead of sitting in front of your computer get out there and do something about the issues you care about.

now I didn't read everything here because I'm eatin right now.... but the only way to change major corporations is to not buy from them EVERY day, not just once, because not buying on one day but going back to that same company the next only proves how much you need (or feel the need) to buy from them. If you want to do something be concious always, buy from people who support what you want and don't buy from the people that are against what you believe in.

well it doesn't have to do with right or wrong either. i didn't say what was right or wrong, because I don't know enough to make an accurate assesment of all the issues.

Also, I never mentioned a solution.

I thought it was the 28th...but on the adbusters cd, it says 23.....i was confused...I thought someone was trying to mix people up so it wouldn't be unified.....Ill just buy nothing on both days.

The only reason I attacked you co flow is because you asked if ''Do you fucking people really think by not spending any money for ONE whole day its going to change anything? Honestly? Sure it sounds like a good idea but your not changing a thing, for one such a small ammount of the population is actually going to not buy anything its not going to make a difference.

once again... You're telling people that they will be happier if they stop worrying about 'all this bullshit' and they will be happier.

the only way that is true is if they live in ignorance.

What should fit in my universe? YOur simple solutions to the worlds problems? is that what I should adopt as a lifestyle?

Should I just give up,. lean back, hook myself up to the Mcdonalds I.V, kick back in my Ikea house and watch commercials about the latest Wal Mart sale?

Wow you got all that from the fact that my opinion is we need to find a resonable solution to the problem? rather than a loosly put together scheme to try and stop all consumers from purchasing anything from one day?you sure know me well, Fuck you must read minds. Anyway i never admitied that there wasnt a problem, maybe i should rewrite that in bold so your tunnel vision can detect it. I never said i had simple solutions to the worlds problems now did I? And neither did you, but the fact remains that your trying to push this movement on people and I was just asking why....Is it really going to help? I think you have answered my question by your reactions and how defensive you have become defending 'your' universe.

Is there a problem with consumerism? Yes.

Will this day fix anything? No.

Does this give the corporations you are trying to change an idea of your concerns? They already know

Do these very same corporations care about your opinions? Fuck NO! If people buy their products and services, they could give a rats ass if you are happy. The only reason companies have some sort of business ethics (IE Body shop, no animal testing) is so they can appeal to a certain demographic (ethical people, anti-corporate people).

Now, I don't buy shit thats made in sweatshops by companies like the Gap or Nike. It would be fucking dumb to buy nothing, if everyone bought nothing our economic system would fall apart, our standard of living would go to shambles. It would fuck everyone. Think about what you want. What exactly are you trying to do? Seriously. What would it achieve if all of a sudden everyone stopped buying things? It would fuck us all.

Speaking of taking classes, I suggest a macroeconomics class.

I'm not saying there isn't a problem, but this is the worst fucking solution ever.
