ericheartsu Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 i eat fast food all the time. i shop at walmart. i don't consider myself punk rock. i run an independent business, and i consider staying afloat more than staying punk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedavidescapeplan Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Juan, you pick your battles. 99.9% of the music I buy independently, and when I do it's usually for gifts for family members for christmas gifts, etc...I just try to spend money at as few chain stores as possible. it's a double edged sword, you can't claim total independence unless you live in the wilderness in a mud hut. Agreed completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burdenx Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I work for Chevron but refuse to shop at Wal-Mart. Color me confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grammarpolice Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Is it punk to spend thousands of dollars to have all the different colors of vinyl shipped to my nice condo where I live while I am at law school? No, but it makes you a queefballoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grammarpolice Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yet you only pop up when someone says your name. I'm onto you. So, by me saying "I'm a one person force" and you saying "Yet you only pop up..." you're implying I'm more than one person? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Besides, is has anyone other than G.G. Allin ever actually been punk?Didn't answer my question. G.G. Allin was a misanthrope, not a punk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timpopkid Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I do not buy music at chain stores. But that's about the extent of my punk rock ethics as they relate to commerce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjaicomo Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Why don't you stick to grammar fuckbag? Us non-police members of the board can decide who is or isn't a queef-balloon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allin was a misanthrope, not a punk. I was thinking that too, but I'm not super familiar with his...um...colorful life (other than the fact that he, in my opinion, was a total douchebag), so I didn't want to get into it with anybody. At least nobody can say we exclude people on this board since we have both queefballoons and fuckbags! Party! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desensitizedbyu Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Yet you only pop up when someone says your name. I'm onto you. So, by me saying "I'm a one person force" and you saying "Yet you only pop up..." you're implying I'm more than one person? Exactly. If you're one person, let's see a tradelist.

lokithelion Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I think punk helped shape my ethics, but I dont give a shit about "punk ethics." I don't shop at Walmart because I disagree with their stance on censoring art, but if I was falling down poor I'd be there in a heart beat. Punk did change the way I look at the world and made me look for ways to help people around me. I dont think I'd be working in public health or with non-profits if I grew up listening to Top 40 instead of a lot of activist music. Maybe I would've thanks to my folks (dad is a pastor and mom's always worked in non-profits) but I always wanted to be a part of making a difference some place. Punk made me look at the sad state of existence in education, society, and charity, and it made me want to try and become part of the solution. It isn't very punk to work for the government but I think I more than make up for it by giving a different world view when it comes to addressing policy in the health department i work at. Its possible to have punk ethics without worrying about uping the Punx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest duhpunk Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 what are these mom and pop stores you speak of? around here, they're known as Tito and Juan stores...specializing in expired Yoo-Hoo, Mondo, and Crispy M&Ms. Free tetanus shots if you save up 5 receipts.
