Forum Overview :: Motherfucking News :: So are you all going to boycott the inauguration?

[quote name="The Joosh"]http://www.sixmeatbuffet.com/archives/2005/01/11/some-days-this-blogging-crap-is-easy/ Mmm. [quote]Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is “Not One Damn Dime Day” in America. On “Not One Damn Dime Day” those who oppose what is happening in our name in Iraq can speak up with a 24-hour national boycott of all forms of consumer spending. During “Not One! Damn Dime Day” please don’t spend money. Not one damn dime for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or for impulse purchases. Not one damn dime for nothing for 24 hours. On “Not One Damn Dime Day,” please boycott Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target… Please don’t go to the mall or the local convenience store. Please don’t buy any fast food (or any groceries at all for that matter). For 24 hours, please do what you can to shut the retail economy down.[/quote] I like this idea. Here's someone with a better command of english has to say: "So a bunch of pants-shitting leftists aren’t going to go out on the 20th and buy bottles of patchouli, copies of The Nation, The Advocate and the New York Times, feta cheese and cous cous and clothes made entirely of hemp. That should really make a dent in the GNP. Go for it!" Somehow this has something to do with the illegal and immoral war that America is fighting in Iraq, which probably means the SECRET other war being fought next to that whole war over Iraq's connections to terrorists we heard so much about lately. And it this boycott will support "our" troops, because apparently we (America) killed 100,000 Iraqis in the war so far. I don't suppose that 100,000 figure came from the same fantasy study which decided that anywhere from 8,000 to 1,000,000,000 people have been killed by our military the past year. So anyway. "Why does the media see fit to report on every crack-pot protest some loser thinks up? Even if this guy were able to collect, say, a thousand people to participate in this protest he wouldn’t even make a scratch in our nation’s economy. I’m guessing that he won’t get anywhere near that amount and if he does I’d bet that a few of them slip up and order a pizza or something. Further, I’ll bet that Dave and his buddies will be glad the rest of us showed up to work and paid our taxes should they lose their jobs and need welfare or something." Ok good <b>tip</b>.[/quote]
