black friday has made me lose faith in humanity...

i dont think id call it greed...well all of it greed. some people are out there trying to get as much as they can for cheap for their families for christmas. but going to fight to the death over some game consoles just gets a little insane.

it just goes to show you how horrible the economy is. we're all fighting tooth and nail for every penny. :/ i wanted to get a friend a t-shirt for christmas, saw it was $8. and seriously had to talk myself into why she'd wear it, when she'd wear it, would it fit her properly, etc. i feel so cheap, arguing with myself over $8. but 20-8=12. and $12 wont get you much.

i went shopping today too. couldnt find a thing (just so happened everything i was going to look at to get wasnt on sale) but just the amount of people literally running down the mall was just...stupid.

It is rather sickening to see in the headlines that people died over some stupid discounted prices on merchandise. America is serious F-ed Up. I wish we could move back to Sweden where it is way more layed back.

Because it's hearsay, it's a rumour. It has been released several times to the major news network that the baby is INDEED okay.

Yesterday there was a bomb threat at the Walmart about 45 minutes away. They evacuated everyone, and yet there were still people trying to resist saying "I waited since XYZ o'thirty and I AM NOT LEAVING!"

In SoCal, there was a gun fight between 2 men. Both are dead. AT A TOYSRUS! Who in the love of God brings a gun to ToysRUs?

Foolish. This whole thing is foolish. I lay partial blame on the retailers for encouraging this mess, and I lay partial blame on the dingdings who play into this mess.

I only went to Sam's Club yesterday. No one was fighting but it was sooooooo crowded!

Savages. These people are savages.

Is a "good sale deal" REALLY worth someone's life?!

I live some towns over. Its all over the news.

News networks sometimes pounce and assume things.

So the baby's okay?

 

[cheergurl]

i saw two adults fist fight over $2.00 dvds at walmart.

Wow.
Thats crazy for fighting over dvds!

We went shopping on Black Friday, the lines were crazy long at Target and Circuit City. We came back home and went shopping on Saturday, no lines.

 

[Fatphil32]

A worker at a Wal-Mart I believe in NYC was trampled to death on Black Friday. It's becoming more of a disaster than anything. Needs to go, pronto.

 

[CutieEm]

That is sad. People fighting over STUFF? They are items!!!!!! I mean, it's a good deal, but why would you fight over that?

 

[tinkerbellbailey]

it's stupid! all 4 a little sale!

 

[MuskratSusie]

This day is a perfect example of greed.

Agreed 100%.

This day really brings out peoples true colors.

 

[notokay]

Didn't bother to read the whole thread so I don't know if this has been posted, but a walmart employee in New york died because of a human stampede.

 

[crazytp93]

So the baby's okay?

[Tinkerbell94]
