People Going Insane On Black Friday | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 28085389 United States 11/23/2012 10:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I remember last year this poor walmart employee was tramped to death when they opened the doors. Quoting: Lisa*Lisa I'll never forget that as long as I live. These stores should not be allowed to have these events after it's been proven to put people's lives in danger. They can't control the insane mobs that show up. Why not have the sales and deals online shopping only? Problem solved and nobody gets hurt. ^^^That^^^^ I would pay the amount saved on a sales item just to not go out on Black Friday. Yea, all these stores have websites.....just offer all the deals online only. But no.......they won't do that because it makes alot of sense. I almost always shop online. Cannot stand to go to stores if it can be avoided at all. Grocery stores being the exception, of course. Shopping online is ok for some things, and no I would never be a shopper in a store on black Friday, but people still like to see, feel, touch, and even try on things in person rather than looking at a picture online and go through the hassle of shipping returns. Older people like it because sadly, more thna people think, their family pays little to any attention to them anymore, so they go out to get that atmosphere of being around people along with exercise. |

Are you black? Racist? Or just hate when people complain about racism? Dude, I really don't know what you are on about. No one here uploaded the video, nor did they name it. Why don't you go comment on youtube if you want to complain about the title of the video. Quit making this a race issue. Wake up, oh sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28302178 United States 11/23/2012 10:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And what's up with the gender thing? Why the fuck are so many females so loud, out of control, obnoxious? Some can call me sexist all they want, but whenever theres a lot of drama, fighting, it 99% of the time involves females directly, or if it's guys, it's over a female or instigated by a female. I notice even small things on a daily basis. Little things like people being rude, loud and obnoxious in public,being deliberately passive aggressive, talking a lot of smack, are almost always girls or women. It's like many have the attitude they can behave like a bitch and nothing will happen because they're a girl [or women], and a dude wouldn't dare get physical. If a dude behaves this way with another dude, you end up with a physical fight and violence, but most chicks seem to think they can bait and instigate all they want with no consequences beyond drama and words. I'm serious, this isn't a troll post. |

I'm going to shop just like I have the past few years- online. what makes you any better than the people who go out on black friday among the madness? youre still shopping for material goods and looking for deals on stuff you dont need, just lusts of the flesh...just either at the convenience of your fingertips or by going when theres less crowds. do you not see the fault in your reasoning? can you not see youre just as guilty? remove the plank from your own eye before you cast righteous judgement...dont be a hypocrite.

We had/have recent experience from Sandy on that. I think people in the area around NYC behaved rather well. There was some looting, but not much and often people banded together to keep out the looters. Sandy was/is a serious experience for us here. Bet you won't find as much stupid Black Friday behavior this year around here. |

Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Mark 16:16 KJV He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Acts 2:38 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Romans 8:6-9 KJV 6) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. Matthew 15:8-9 KJV 8) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

We got hit hard by the storm and I want to support my local merchants. We have some great antique and vintage type stores where I will do most of my (rather meager), shopping. It will be fun, I can walk to the stores, and best of all no raging maniacs trying to save a few bucks!
