Black Friday Results (What Is Wrong With People?)

What is wrong with the human race? I don't understand the logic behind pushing one another, yelling at one another, running just so you could save 10$. I mean people, come on!

Euhm, you could save +$200 with this... not $10, get your facts straight.

I was exaggerating Mr.Tom! I am trying to basically state that with all of the time, energy, food and gas, it will not be worth the time. Thanks for checking my site.

It's a complete loss of common courtesy. What a sick society we are creating with this soul sapping materialism.

Leon Basin said...

Right, John! I mean seriously, this is sickening. Thanks for visiting John!

I have to agree. It is so sad and horrible that this is how bad our society is getting over something so low and out of reality as a "sale" at a store.

I can understand being excited, but these reports just indicate the overdrive for materialism and is a sign that many of us have learned NOTHING from the economic struggle we are in or about what it means to save and being considerate.

Thanks Ken! I appreciate the words of appreciation:) Thanks for sharing your views. It's definitely a terrible position to be in, when you have one person dead, injured in your store. It just shows to tell, that humans cannot live without greed. Thanks all for the comments.

Leon, this Black Friday business has always disgusted me. I am so glad you did a post about it and I can't wait to read more of you archives-actually all of them. I am someone who is a failed writer and have minimal formal education and computer skills,but I would very much like to get better!
Peace and be well!-Devin
I am so glad I found a blog to link to finally that is exactly along the lines of what I was looking for!-Thanks so much

It's just one of those things that you have to see to believe. I for one was shocked and angered at the story of a Wal Mart temporary employee who was killed while trying to help a pregnant woman who was being trampled. It really is sad that in the name of a good sale we are willing to unleash bloodshed and total disregard for our fellow men and women. I know it was always here and has been here but I didn't realize it had become this bad. We're in a lot of trouble.
