shell1964: well its here again and people are crazy as ever..
people rush out to get deals in stores early when some of the stores open..I think it is moraly insane...people push and shove and fight over getting into stores for deals on marchandise they can buy online maybe not as good of a deal but your saving gas money and the chance of getting hurt..
anybody out there or anyone that would run out on this day to shop in the caos or thoughts about this crazy day..:


The sales aren't really about saving money, they're about petty power and emotional frenzy. It's the desire for getting one over the group and that feeling of winning even if it is in the most minor way possible that calls to a certain instinct - namely the womans.

I think it was around the year 2008 when Canada started with the Black Friday sales event. Canadians near the US border would travel down to the US in droves seeking out bargains and this hurt retail businesses up here. I have to go grocery shopping today and am not looking forward to the crowds. mumbling laugh

I like the name Black Friday because when you think about it Thanksgiving itself is like the Native American Halloween. The name works on two levels.

You know, to have Thanksgiving which more than any other day celebrates the culture that exterminated Native Americans followed by a day of consumerism from the same culture called Black Friday I find to be rather fitting.

My boyfriend and I had to go go out in the afternoon to do some banking and actually the traffic didn't appear all that bad.We were totally surprised.

Even one of the local Meijer's stores weren't all that busy,everyone must've been at the Malls.
