Found this link on another forum (:eek: yes i do have a life outside TP forums!)

very interesting read.
 
You have to read NO LOGO by Naomi Klein so see how bad designer labels are to the sweatshop workers they employ and now they con/rip off the buying public
 
Interesting maybe but he hasn't gone brand free at all. All products have a brand name surely ?
 
Yeah, I think it'smore to do with removing the reliance on labels with a certain cache (sp? :lol:) to support his lack of self confidence and feelings of social integration.

Common problem in those who have no love in their lives apart from the love of money.



Really, would you like a mercedes and nice house now and die of a heart attack at 45 from stress and overwork? Or live to 95 on an average to low income, safe in the knowledge that you will see your kids grow up and that you understand the true meaning of life?



I knowthat's a gross and sweeping generalisation but it's how I feel about stuff like this. This bloke should probably be held up as a shining example ofall that is wrong with materialism and todays society and how easy it is to throw of the shackles of our capitalist oppressors!


Come brothers, lets strike a blow for the common man! To ARMS!







/my dad uses to be in the labour party. sorry.
 
I want to know why he needed to buy 'bulk' cosmetics..and why he didn't print his book himself on homemade recycled paper and flog it in one of the saturday markets, himself!
 
TBH I couldn't be arsed to read too much of it.
I now think far less of him than I did before.... never heard of him before mind you :lol:

So he burnt all his possesions. Never considered doing something worhtwhile with them then. seems a bit self-important to me.
 
Sounds like a good gimick way of making money and promoting your book.


There are plenty of people who live everyday without branded designer clothes etc.
