Hoodie Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 my fellow watmmies, i know we're all supposed to hate amazon.com now that they've refused to support wikileaks, but i just wanted to bring to light a really cool deal that they're providing for college students. http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info/?tag=_0-20 you get a free year of amazon prime, which gives you free two-day shipping. it's a damn good deal, because amazon prime is $80 a year otherwise. so if you haven't signed up for amazon student, do it. free two-day shipping... feels good man. (and no, i don't work for amazon. i just thought i'd help watmm save some money because i know there are a lot of college aged people on here.) sincerely, hoodie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoodie Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 stick to your convictions... until it comes down to money, of course. you know, i hate big oil and big pharma... but i drive a car and take antibiotics when i'm sick. it's not practical to isolate yourself because corporations have terrible morals. instead, try activism or petitioning your government or complaining on the internet (the last one is my favorite).

But the same people condem others who do the same but with bigger numbers. Oh ofcourse you guys are the good guys so that doesn't imply to you. i don't think you understand how screwing over other people by, say, stealing millions of dollars through corporate greed is different than saving $80 by using a website that refused to host wikileaks. you can't equate those that have sold their souls for millions to those that want to save a few bucks. usually, nobody is directly fucked over by me shopping at walmart, but when (hypothetically) walmart chooses to cut benefits to pad their executives' paychecks, that's gonna ruin a few families.

david Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 it does seem a bit silly to be like "Yeah yeah i know we're supposed to hate amazon but come on! deals!" kind of misses the whole point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siegecow Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I dont see why people condemn amazon. They remove offensive/edgy material from their stores all the time, they have no track record of supporting free speech. With that said, what you do with your money is by far the biggest source of individual power in a capitalist society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcock Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 people are actually not using amazon because they didnt let wikileak use their servers? do the same people boycotting amazon also boycott almost every massive corporation in existence for doing something unsavoury? seems abit pathetic to me.

spratters Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I still like Amazon, the UK branch anyway. They have sourced too much to mention over the last however many years. I don't think there could ever be a reason that I would boycot them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coalbucket PI Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 if only all these books were available from organic elves who grew them on pure sunlight in the gumdrop forest of ethics, but I suppose for now we'll just have to bite the bullet and accept this inhumane bastardly awful bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDobalina Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just hold on a few years til the american higher education model - with its institutional arms race continuing to drive tuition up at obscene rates oblivious to inflation or outside economic forces - collapses. You won't even need to buy books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chassis Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Ranky Redlof Location:Mars Interests:farming Country:Not Selected So I guess you went to Mars University where they pay for your books? Try getting an edumacation and then come back. But Hoodie seriously, who buys books? They come in PDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
