Tick Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 QUOTE (Can-Utility @ Nov 24 2011, 09:00 AM) QUOTE (tick @ Nov 24 2011, 04:43 AM) QUOTE (laughedatbytime @ Nov 23 2011, 11:05 PM) I could care less when the stores open, I won't be getting anywhere near there on the day after Thanksgiving. I care. I hate the fact people (with non essential jobs) can't have a holiday with there family. The problem with society as a whole is they don't care. Sign of the times. I hate the whole, "stop complaining, plenty of people would kill for those jobs" mindset. Who cares? If this employees were given the days with there family, it would change nothing economically. We have become a society whose priorities are all screwed up. Family values mean shit. "If people want to shop on the holiday, they should be able to shop." That mindset is weak, very weak. laughedatbytime, this is not an attack on you. I just took your first sentence to make a point that these days people have a "if it doesn't effect me" mindset, I don't care. http://www.better-english.com/easier/theyre.htm f**k you you little ***t!

Anyway this is the driving force behind "Occupy". So if you've been ridiculing the "Occupy" movement and feel there should be LESS retail (and corporate greed) and MORE family time, there's a certain irony or hypocrisy there. Not anyone in particular, just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 what's really pathetic is that some people actually get into fights in the stores when the last item of whatever is taken. "I saw it first", "no you didn't, gimme it". Then "bang!" someone is shot with a gun. Happy holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Yep, a mall in Fayetteville NC had to deal with gunshots. It happened around the food court, so I'm guessing gang activity (not surprisingly) Also, some place in Los Angeles had some violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 The funniest part is, most of these 'deals' that people will hurt each other over trying to get first aren't really deals at all. Many of these items are the same prices as they were two weeks ago before they were marked up 40% then slapped with a Black-Friday sale sticker for the same price it was in early November.
