Fucking whiny pussie bullshit grow some balls

@APS8369 well, i think this comment roughly sums up the message of this video..

[JNickS33]

good video. and I get the message even if others don't. The point is to stand in unity and protest against this corporate consumerist economy. And maybe, just maybe, if we all do it and it has some type of obvious effect, we will see our power and move forward, together.

buying less, as well as supporting companies whose proceeds go to good causes or at least do not further exploit poverty and impoverished people is useful.

It's about standing up and saying we are not your consumerist pawns.

[Rocker0719]

wow, thanks ha..someone's actually catching on..

[chorseshoe1996]

How is this supposed to help our local economy? or anything for that matter.

[Rocker0719]

also, this is supposed to promote people to not buy from all the big companies as well, but instead to buy from your local market

Science isn't a Utopia, it's just a more accurate system at arriving upon solutions. Greed won't run a society that produces abundance -- it can't. Ego is a different story, but will become much more manageable in time through a more sociologically relevant education. These are testable propositions, not idealistic philosophical opinions, which is all politics is founded on.

Ever heard of technological unemployment? You won't hear that on the mainstream media, and for good reason....

We live in a 'consumer society' that has been programed to consume. The power of advertising ensures that we are in a constant state of dissatisfaction with what we have and have an insatiable appetite for more. Fashion and built-in obsolence ensures that.

I do agree with the fact that people do try and live above their means... I still don't agree with your statement that people buy things they don't want... But I do acknowledge that people buy things they cannot afford... With that said.... I don't believe that shopping should be boycotted... You seem like a nice person... Let's just agree to disagree..

I was checking too see where your head is at, that's all. :)

and yes, people buy stuff they don't need or want.. have you ever thought about how people go into credit card debt or buy homes that are far too big and cost way too much money.. the list is long on the way mankind has been duped into believing they NEED material goods to be something in this world - and - its a big fat lie.

peace~

I spent no money on BF. I spent the day with my family at home. Thanks for the video.

[imax1971]

Hell no! I would not have me or my children injected with an untested drug.... What's your point?

[oh2love4love]

hmm did you line up for your swine flu shot like the president commanded of you?

[imax1971]

People are buying things that the don't want??? And they are doing so because they are conditioned by the "machine"??!!?? Holy shit pal, you are out there where the buses don't run!

[oh2love4love]

no no no.. that's not what I am saying.. those "goods" as you call them are made like CRAP and are meant to end up in the landfill.. are you an American?
