No way. let Holder’s people trample each other. I have enough cheap Chinese junk. ...... Consume, consume, consume......
If people want to stay home, they should stay home. People who want to shop on “black friday” should shop. People telling other people what they should do should go jump in a lake. It will take more than a few marxist idiots to crash the economy ...unless you’re talking about the marxist in the white house, who is running out of options but needs to be confronted.
You can’t make me.
You can’t persuade me.
I haven’t been shopping on Black Friday since it was just the Friday After Thanksgiving and the stores downtown put up the decorations that same Friday, and everyone went down that the evening, to look at the lights and hear the caroling and to see everyone else, with Christmas shopping rather a low priority? Our own town, our own townspeople. Not some mall somewhere else.
What am I, a hundred fifty years old? Did I grow up in Mayberry? No, and not at all, but it seems that way now. Do I change with the times and get up before dawn to fight my way through crowds in a big box store for one of three low low price flat screen TVs? Prove how much I love my family by buy buy buying all day?
Christmas is not consumerism.
Lord Jesus Christ, send us all a quiet, watchful Advent while we wait to celebrate your Incarnation into this fallen world, amen.
I wish they would “Occupy Thanksgiving”, and target those stores that are opening on that day; it is a disgrace. Don’t believe for a second that employees have the option of using a vacation day for that; just more evidence of the erosion of Americans’ position in the workplace.
Christians, look to see this happening on Christmas & Easter if there are no repercussions for those businesses.
For several reasons, the first is that I do not have the money.
The second is that even if I had the money I would not go out on that day, I swear all the crazy people are let out of asylum that day.
Third, I have already done my Christmas shopping.
Fourth, if those nitwits try to disrupt the shopping frenzy they are going to discover the meaning of pain and I want to watch from the comfort of home.
If I buy anything on Black Friday, it will be on the Internet.
Black Friday isn’t actually that big a day for retailers. It’s usually #5 on the list of big shopping days, and since it’s so door buster oriented the profit margin is the lowest of the big shopping days.
I don’t do it because I refuse to work harder spending my money than I did to make it. We’re going to a museum.
