Black Friday - Something's WRONG With Our Society! | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28105140  United States11/23/2012 07:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I agree there is no need for most of the stuff they are buying. Ever see the show "Hoarders?" People buy and buy and stuff ends up shoved in their closets, under beds, rotting in the middle of their living rooms. It's a sick society where this type of thing happens. I am glad I will have no part of that madness. It's disgusting. |

Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid, it is true that most stupid people are conservative. John Stuart Mill ************ It's much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why? Because it is easier to give someone the finger than a helping hand. Mike Royko |

| ceawaves User ID: 27820741 United States11/23/2012 08:37 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's an old accounting term.. instead of being in the 'red = debt..on this day retailers hope to get out of the red and have a profit which means into black.. Back in the day there was only two colors of pen, black and red, red was for debt and black was profit. Black Friday means a thousands of people rushing a store in the hopes of getting one of the 3 tvs. the store has on sale from 6am to 8 am for 200 dollars instead of 3 hundred.. |

Day by day, what you choose, what you think, and what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny ... it is the light that guides your way." Heraclitus |

These people are slaves to their addictions. It's so sad! "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." - Matthew 22: 37-39 "What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" - Galatians 5: 22-23 |

Never, honest & for true, never did people behave with such "utter abandon" of civilised behaviour, that I can remember. Well...maybe the screaming masses when The Beatles came state-side in the 60s could be construed as such LOL Why do these vids remind me of mutant sewer rat scenes from a horror movie!?!? sTTsTTT |
