A boy was murdered recently for his air jordan shoes. This is a good protest to bring attention to the problem of insane bee hive materialism.
Every year there seems to be a ritualistic, hyped up product shortage sale where people act like animals to get limited quanities. Every time I cringe at the sight of Americans acting like animals over things. Christians need to speak out against the decent of our society into the gutter and ridicule these people.
They also have the nerve to stage one of these “black friday” events every year and name it “Christmas” shopping and they name the animal shoppers Christians. People who act like this - who are visious and hurt one another for products like this are not Christians. They should be made ashamed of themselves if they dare call themselves Christians by other Christians.
Do you know why “Black Friday” was given that name? It’s because it’s historically when retail shops ‘go in the black,’ i.e., their books turned from red ink to black ink and they made their first profit of the year. It’s not a put down on Christmas shoppers or Christmas or Christians.
“This is a good protest to bring attention to the problem of insane bee hive materialism.”
I agree. I am not particularly religious, but their expression of disdain for crass and totally pointless materialism is well taken. The ironic thing is that the Occupy types should, in theory, be in agreement, but instead, because of who the protesters are, they will reflexively condemn the protest.
