You’d have to be a psycho to put up with that cheet.
Black Friday is capitalism.
It is simple. Do not participate.
If more people decided to have a nice, quiet non-commercial Christmas then all of that crap would go away.
I avoid the stores on Black Friday.
I usually shop online, especially on Cyber Monday.
I did find a couple of good online deals today, however.
I confess, I despise “Black Friday.”
I did all of my "Black Friday" shopping on Tuesday ... online.
No hassles. No troubles. No crowds.
I don’t see the problem. If you don’t approve of Black Friday and think it’s all just commercial hype, ignore it. Do what you want to do on the day after Thanksgiving. No one’s forcing anyone to go shopping. We’ve got bigger problems than crowded malls.
I agree Christmas has become to commercial, but it is kind of hard to complain when the church stole December 25th. Let’s have Christmas around October 1st if we really want to have a true religious holiday.

WHAT? You don’t got the stuff? Everybody did! I got more stuff than y’all! After lunch I be gettin’ more. Stuff!
I agree. I don’t think that I’ll go so far as to give Monastic soap to my family, but one year I bought each of them a piglet to be given to families in Uganda. The pigs are raised for meat and for breeding more pigs — thus to provide a sustainable living for the recipients.
I hate the way that the purveyors of “Black Friday” have stolen the meaning of Thanksgiving from the american people, and I refuse to participate any more.
No worries...won’t be named “Black Friday” too much longer.
Not PC, you know.
Probably be changed to “1 Percenter Day”.
I don’t go along. I refuse to play the game. I don’t go anywhere on Black Friday.
I agree 100% with this article.
Look, I’m all for the economy but not at the price of acting like greedy pigs. The last several years, people have been assaulted physically - one was even killed at a NY Wal-Mart. Ridiculous.
I refuse to participate. I’d rather stay home, pray, and focus on the real meaning of Christmas.
I am one of those who pretty much ignore Black Friday but have no problem with it either.
The only time I have purposely gone to a store for one of those bargains was around 10 years ago when Wal-Mart had a camera I wanted for a very good price. When I got there they were sold out but surprisingly they gave me a rain check. After a couple of weeks I asked them if I could have a similar, actually a little better one for the rain check and the girl went ahead and approved it.
I would never fight the crowds for the real early specials tho.
this ‘ could ‘ be racist

I am absolutely stunned that anyone takes part in this. It is like something from a movie - people going nuts over a bunch of “stuff” that will most likely end up at the back of a closet in short order. Going out shopping on Boxing Day also boggles the mind. Collectively speaking, we’re nuts.
The only thing that bugs me is that they take a lot of useful stuff off the shelves at this time of year to make room for stupid stuff like red and green mittens.
We are having a bit of indian summer here today, I have roses blooming and if I were to go to walmart today to get some trimmer line for the weed whacker, there would be none to be found.
I refuse to participate in any coerced shopping events. I’ll do what I usually do, wait until three days before Christmas and then panic.
