We got a bag of some nice old silverware for $5.

Still, silly upper-middle-class anti-globalization people not buying things for a day is not really a substantial form of economic dialogue. If you really wanted to help the people allegedly hurt by consumerism, there are far better methods.

Do you do this because they are openly a fan of something nerdy or what some people consider "childish" or do you typically find people that are fans of anything enough to wear t-shirts of it to be generally annoying/obnoxious?

Well then those bitches are fucking shallow and I would not want to with them anyway I honestly wouldn't care if I had a girlfriend that wore gaudy/ugly/tacky clothing (as long as the reason was because she didn't care rather then thinking it looked good)

I care little about how I look but I find it incredibly annoying when someone nags me about the way I look, long uncombed messy hair/typically unshaven. because it seems so petty and pointless to me. The only thing I can understand someone being avoided due to stench/they need a fucking shower which is actually a relatively common issue at my college because of people playing games all night and then skipping their shower cause they'd miss/ be late for class if they took one. The only 'look' based stuff I care about is weight issues. I'm not exactly lean or even very healthy, but I wouldn't say I'm fat either. It is all about what you look like in the buff and I'll admit I don't look particularly great.

Ok then. Maybe this is something 12 years old's have right. I really don't give a shit though. :P
Though again I personally associate this with my nerdiness then childishness. Also, everyone I know at my college wears shirts like this a lot or at least at some point other then maybe a select few (one friend particular comes to mind). and while I personally don't buy clothes for the sake of looking good other people will buy and then give them to me as a gift and I don't turn down/waste gifts/free stuff.

EDIT: yeah, getting laid for me will be kind of a bitch because I'm picky and I'm not motivated enough because it seems like to much work/time/money/risk. Then there the fact that I suck in social situations with woman that are actually interested in me which is a rarity in of itself... either that or there are times that I'm oblivious to a girl trying to get my attention.

College communists usually revert to a consumerist way of life once they get out of college and start making enough money so they're just as guilty as people who don't care about co-ops

you basically have three options: live in a co-op or communal society, become a revolutionary, or renig on your ideals and become a consumer (the overwhelming choice by most of them).

people are weak i guess?

Crap I'm not good at picking up sarcasm in text... ARGH...

ALSO, I just realised that I wear band T-shirts as well. and IMHO this is the same if not similar to wearing Movie/TV/Video Game shirts. It's just another form of media. Yet it isn't considered childish or nerdy...

Why would you think I'd care about "cred"? I wear shit to show I like something in this case not to say I have cred. I don't go to concerts they are to expensive thus I can not afford to go to them. This "cred" seems pointless and shallow to me.

and yeah though I actually agree MOST people seem to be annoying rabid fans when they wear clothes depicting the things they are fans for. but this isn't always the case, and I typically give people the benefit of the doubt and don't immediately chose to avoid anyone based on what they wear. I'll make note of it if they are wearing a shirt with pikachu or link on it, but that wont keep me from having conversation with them.

This is unfortunately common in the US and kind of depressing/sickening. People like this have no self control or don't care that they are this fat.
