My sister called me and said she had seen some of the shopping video's on the news and could not believe her eyes.

She made the comment how it made some many Americans look so bad and ignorant and just pathetic and stupid and gross. She was really discussed after having had viewed it.

Canada has boxing day sales after Christmas. I have never seen a mob like this at a store ver. Nobody camps out to get deals ever. Nobody fights over stuff ever. So what makes us different that we don't act like this. I don't have that answer but the way in which these people act to get STUFF is sick. It really is.

When you look around at the state of the world and all the problems and you see all these people just pileing shit into carts thats totally usless I have to shake my head. I don't get it anymore. People have lost sight of whats important in this world.

You can't blame the bussinesses because thats their jobs to supply goods and services to those that want the shit they sell. They all have to compete so they all do it. Can't blame them.

These people are not human anymore. This is not what its about.

I spent 500 dollars today and bought 600 kg of mixed grains and cereals and beans and sprouts to bake with and plant with and it will last 4 of us for 6 mnths in a pinch. They bought DVD's and players and shit shit shit and more shit shit shit. What are they going to do with all this shit when it hits the fan. Most probably could not afford what they bought and most probably went on the good old credit cards.

I read somwhere that they were going to ban these kinds of sales. I remember reading somwhere that some people got trampled a couple years ago trying to get inside the doors when the store opened. No wonder the rest of the world thinks that Americans are fucked up. They should ban thses Black Friday Monday sales. Its getting out of hand.

Many of these people are ignorant because they've been brainwashed by our federal govt. They teach them that having material things will bring them happiness.

I'm sorry, but I do blame the businesses because there's a limit. Greed can NEVER be satisfied. It always wants more. The CEOs of these businesses don't care about their employees. ALl they care about is putting money in their pocket, regardless of how it affects their employee's lives or well-being.

Most of them do put it on credit cards. This leads to more debt, and unhappiness, in which case they buy more STUFF to make them feel better. It's a vicoius cycle.

I dont' think they'll ever realize, the happiest people are the ones who live simple lives, putting value on the things that matter. It is all about the people you love, and spending time with them...not material things!
