bet you they could in Cork or Galway.

but not limerick.
The Limerick Leader newspaper has dealt with that sort of thing.
Is merely an exercise for those who have money to burn to feel like they are fighting the system. It's a middle class cop-out. But with the best intentions, of course.
Instead of buying christmas presents, give that money to charity instead and make that your gift for family and friends. Put your money where your mouth is instead of keeping it in your pocket for one symbolic day. Sure you're all going to go out and buy presents or trinkets or clothes or whatever the next day or the next or the next for what's the point?
"I feel good because one day out of 365 I bought nothing!" Welcome to my world.
I dont see what everyones big problem with buy nothing day is. Like it or not Christmas is the most consumerist time of year and pretty much everyone (except poor person) is going to buy presents for someone who wont need whatever it is.
I think it's a great idea to try and get people to think about what they are doing. If you want to have a 'steal something day' or a 'buy something for a poor person day' at the same time, fine, but why try and put down something that only has the best intentions?
As for taking over the economy, I'd love to, I'd probably fuck it up but I'd do a better job than those spas, got a plan for this takeover? I'll join u...
What's the point in a consumer boycott unless it's a part of a wider campaign.
Earlier this year in Greece there was a "Buy Nothing Day". It was in protest against the Euro rip-off. This was somewhat successful as it had definite demands and it had mass support.
But boycotts are not a way of changing things. Why boycott McDonalds? Why not wear Nike? All goods produced are prodicts of capitalism, therefore products of produced exploiting labour.
If you really want to change things we should try to take over the means of production, ie take over the economy and run it in the interests of ordinary people.
"Buy Nothing Days" are a great way of protest, but it should be remembered that boycotts will not change the world.
yes i feel we should buy something for a poor person day, i think it would make us rich people feel good. i like to make myself feel less guilty and also look good in public by buying something for horrible poor people. charitable good deeds enhance my outward social respectability and increases my social standing in the exclusive circle of chums I move in. I think a buy nothing day may affect profits and money going to my executive retailer chums and also multinational supermarket chains, so dont do it, instead think about buying a corporate christmas present for a miserable poor person. cheer em up and also make yourself look good.
everything has been paid for.
don´t worry about a thing.
Leafletting, Street theatre & other activities will take place in Temple Bar Square, Dublin from 1 pm on Saturday 30 November.
I always buy nothing because I never have the money to buy anything outside of the basics. Is Buy Nothing a way for people who have money to protest against other people who have money. Must be nice! Why can't it be 'Buy Something For A Poor Person Day' ?
