Nope. Staying home.
Actually, smart Americans aren’t blowing money as fast as they can these days. There’s nothing patriotic about debt.
I NEVER shop on black Friday anyway.
Where I live, this Saturday is small business’ shopping day. I do at least 75% of my shopping with local merchants.
Actually, I normally stay in for Black Friday. However, my girls would get the biggest kick out of seeing Occupiers at Walmart. I plan on driving by to see if they are there.
Anyone know where I can get liquid skunk scent? I already have the water balloons.
Iowa vs. Nebraska
Go Hawks!
Most of what OWS does hurts the average American. Now they want to default on student loans. All that’s going to do is make the “Evil Corporations” say, “Well screw it, I’m not loaning money to the poor anymore for college if they aren’t going to pay it back.” Nothing like climbing the ladder and then kicking it away so no one else can climb up after them.
I will not spend a dime from tomorrow until about January 10th of next year.
Someone please tell me this Is a parody post???
Wow! Maybe you have missed the recent economic collapse. Who in their right mind would go out and spend money just to be anti-OWS... surely you jest!
I’m sure that you probably meant this with good intentions, but you really need to remember that almost of all America is suffering during this downturn. That means that almost everybody is going to stay home.
The few that do go out and have excess money to spend - well, they will have to hold up the economy.
Every year, someone gets trampled to death. Maybe it will be the OWS this year.
I went out on “Black Friday” once about 7 or 8 years ago. Now, I just watch the idiots trample each other on TV. Of course, this year, I’ve decided to work on Friday instead.
Really, really bad idea for me. I just can’t force myself. Plus, the Iron Bowl is being played in this town and it will be really crazy.
Maybe if we’re lucky they’ll get trampled at Wal Mart...
Wow, TeaPartyNation is a “social networking site.” That leaves me out.
Nope.
Christmas gifts this year will be receipts for the $ I give to “Occupy” Wounded Warrior or “Occupy” Fisher House.
Because the OWS’ers only travel in a closed circle they can’t come to the realazation that they are truely the less than 1%’ers. The true reason that they haven’t gotten a following with the exception of the media, is that the true 99% are busy working and living. Even the unemployed and poor are busy with that living part.
Nope. “Black Friday” has been and will remain “Buy Nothing Day” as far as I’m concerned.
I'm also sick of everyone in America getting up and driving as a means of celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas, and apparently every other holiday. Is home so terrible that come hell or high water they must go drive like a bunch of gosh darned lemmings?
All these holidays seem to do these days is make the Chinese and the Arabs even richer and us poorer and Jesus a distant third if even that much. Grrr!
I know a lot of people on FR aren't that way.
Is it better for Americans to stay out of debt, to keep the money in the USA and out of the hands of the Chinese or better to spend it buying stuff from Asia, on things people generally don’t want or need? We all need to make our bed and decisions on that.
I’m not going to be out there on Black Friday because it’s just not in my interest. I don’t care what others decide to do. If I buy anything it will be from local stores not the big box stores that represent China. Or we may decide to do a more traditional Christmas and do things for others instead of buying low quality imports.
Hmm, the ‘leaders’ and politicans, and Union thugs have called me ‘sonsabitches’, told me to go ‘straight to hell’, the alleged ‘news’ media have called me a ‘wahhabist’. And much more.
Nah, not gonna shop.
