And OWS wanted every cent of that spent. It just wanted that spent at local stores, not big box stores.

Media spin that this holiday season's spending was "below expectations" to begin in 5...4...3....

Great, so that means the economy has rebounded from Bush's failures! Thanks Obama!

BroVinny: propasaurus: Great, so that means the economy has rebounded from Bush's failures! Thanks Obama!

Actually, the Bush recession ended in 2009. We're in a new, Obama-owned recession, now.

A recession where people have $52.4 billion of disposable income to spend in one day. Thanks Obama!

And how much of that $52.4 billion was borrowed money? Mmm-yeah, that's what I thought.

I give up. how much?

Eh, whatever... they didn't say don't spend money, they said to spend money at small businesses that you actually support... but no, keep on demolishing strawmen and telling yourself it makes you look smarter, Submitter Palin.

Actually, we aren't in a recession at all, and haven't been since the end of the Bush recession you mentioned two years ago.

Words mean things, my friend.

Why Yes I Am A Wizard: I wonder how much of it will wind up back in the economy and how much will wind up as blow snorted off some hoooker's ass in a jet gold jet at 50,000 ft.

I'm not sure what you were talking about, but that right there would be a great band name.

I dunno, how much?

but the people on fox news told me that they wanted to destroy consumerism, tank the economy, and kill kittens by any means other then rubbing one out

Ah, there's the problem.

USP .45: yes, an environmentally and economically wasteful local store that sells the same TV as the big box, which in many ways is being supplanted by the even more environmentally and economically efficient internet storefront.

you either buy you flatscreen at WalMart (possibly SamsClub) or WalMart.com as the default option, or if you hunt for some other insane deal on the internet, otherwise you're a moron.

You're forgetting, of course, that certain goods sold at Wal-Mart are not the same quality as that same good found in other stores.

Wal-Mart has manufacturers of certain goods produce items of lower quality specifically for Wal-Mart in order to meet Wal-Mart's price point.

Myself, I refuse to do business with Wal-Mart because their stores are filled with people that are beneath me. This weekend, I went to a small business and ordered a pair of hand-made leather shoes. You won't get that quality at Wal-Mart.

OWS is an amorphous blob of a "movement" spurred on by a bunch of furry-loving /b-tards who have few real demands. It's a Rorschach test of a protest in which one website puts out a bunch of demands that might have some, little, or no overlap with another site claiming to be the "real" OWS demands, so casual onlookers/supporters can read absolutely any demands/purposes they want into it. It's not "about" anything.

//then it'll be simply about pushing yet another partisan agenda

Although you've probably already bought your tickets and its too late, I'd urge you to reconsider your timing. Paris sucks in the winter. It is really, really cold.

If you go to Paris for what I assume is your first time, go in the spring.
