I am trying to help you and OWS manage to hurt the number of Black Friday businesses by boycotting the listed businesses. They say they are not trying to hurt small businesses, only the listed big ones. They claim that they are not against capitalists, just crapitalists.

I will make it a purpose to shop in all of those places listed plus some I know of that aren't listed.

You're going to shop at Abercrombie? The same store that was boycotted by conservative groups a few years ago for its sexually-suggestive advertisements?

Since they want me to pay their college loans for them I feel that anything I do that helps them is through stupidity, on my part, so I am against them.

OWS protesters will be trampled to the ground by a stampede of sales-crazed shoppers. Mark my words, they will lose the battle.

OWS is moronic, and I say this as a liberal. These idiots need to take a shower, and then get a job.

Well I support OWS and have my own student loans that I pay every single month. I see no reason why anyone else would be responsible for them.

Although, the prevalance of student loans has caused college tuition to rise dramatically to the point where it is almost not worth the cost, so I understand the angst against tuition prices but agree that ultimately it is the fault of the student for taking on enourmous loans without a clear goal in college.

Anyway, not everything is as it seems and not everything can be painted with one brush. If you do not think people should be protesting than that is your perogotive but to constantly label them and undermine their goals is very Anti-American, especially when they are trying to save our country.

Well, that type of thinking can be taken to silly excesses. For instance, if someone involved with "OWS" declared a boycott against crack cocaine, would you run out to support your local crack dealer?
