Black friday

This is just getting ridiculous, killing a worker and running over a pregnant woman to save $50 on a non brand tv.   ::)

Hell, they've had literal riots break out over bloody toys..... ::)

With technology has come an entirely new level of stupidity. The need to to survive has been replaced by the need for greed. Compassion has been replaced by screw your neighbor before your neighbor screws you.

I'll shut up before I go to far..... :-X

Funny part is, if your polite to people, they look at you like your from another planet. My wife actually had a woman ask her once how she could stand me opening doors (car, non-automatic store doors, etc) for her. The woman said she thought it was bizarre to see a man acting like that. My wife told her that she was the bizarre one and that I was just being polite and showing the world that chivalry wasn't dead yet. The woman (yea right - like 22 years old) had no clue what chivalry was.....lmao

I know and I love how they say they only have 9 copys or etc. in the store when they know there is more.
If they want to prevent accidents and injurys they shouldent post that.

My uncle was making a joke yesterday saying he should go and fall on floor and call his lawyer up and make some money  ;D..
and I wouldent be suprised if someone's already tryed ::)

Idiots these days  ::)

and I wouldent be suprised about an Elmo toy.
Now everythings electronic that everyone wants..more pricey for you and it just makes it harder for the kids..

The world in 20 years is just going to be horrible mostly the United States I think.
The technology that is coming out is going to kids and it makes them be couch potatos and the food also :o..
Also with board games I see monopoly go electronic..
You dont use money you use a credit card and swipe it in the bank type thing for your money and etc.
Not only would it take the fun of counting the money but it can help you count better in a way if you think and its always fun when you catch someone cheat sometimes  ;D..

Im sure lots of parents sacrifise themselfs to get that elmo toy or maybe that video game for there kid. :o

Just shows what happens when large concentrations of stupidity meet with greed. They should have held everyone involved as suspects and declared the store a crime scene.
Hopefully the authorities will review the store's surveillance tapes and charge those responsible with manslaughter. Unfortunately the more likely scenario will be no charges filed and the store being sued for millions of dollars.
