Ya, I think we need to be more aware of where our money is going and not be wasteful. I think that would help a lot more useful than one day where we all don't shop. One day a year won't change a god damned thing. - Fri, 18 Nov 2005 4:07pm

This looks like a good movie.

I wonder if they have it at Pic-a-Flick. It would be educational to watch that on BND, or even host a screening. I'm surprised that Victoria doesn't have one scheduled, given how socially and environmentally concious many of its residents are. - Fri, 18 Nov 2005 4:20pm

Wal-Mart isn't the only place that craps on their employees. I'd say the majority of employers are downright unfair to their workers. That'd be why most workers like to fuck over their bosses everyway they can. A vicious cycle that will never die. - Mon, 21 Nov 2005 6:38pm

employees are as disposible as a bic pen, don't you forget it. no employer owes you anything... what do you think your the only one that can do your job. the only reason your still employed is that hiring people takes away from my golf game.

As for the buy nothing day, go ahead! the next day you will have a bit more cash in your wallet. that will only make you crack and you will be buying.

if you want to send a message try spend nothing month, bet you can't do it. - Thu, 24 Nov 2005 11:11am

Unless you buy a month's worth of groceries and pay for all the bills for that month, you might be able to do it. - Mon, 19 Dec 2005 5:45pm
