the first one needs to be changed to "the Palestinians fight to kill innocent people and kick people off their homeland"

As an australian I don't get the whole black friday thing, why do yous need to bombard the stores at midnight to get things slightly cheaper. I have seen news reports of fights, beatings, and even deaths of people being trampled by the rush or murdered. Is it really worth it? This is a case of some americans having horribly fucked up priorities.
#257 to #252 - jrondeau (11/25/2012) [-]
To start, it's not slightly cheaper. It's a hell of a lot cheaper (I got something for $34 that was $80 the day before at a local department store, but didn't go during the rush) than any other days in the year. A lot of people go to try and get things for Christmas at ridiculously low prices, and a lot go just for the adrenaline rush (don't personally understand this one, but it seems to be reason for a lot of people to go). Yes, some people get trampled each year, but they're just getting picked off by natural selection if they're willing to risk getting mixed up in a literal stampede of crazed shoppers.   
   
I don't personally see the appeal in trying to get through raging mobs of people to go shopping, but to each their own I suppose. And don't be so quick to shit on Americans for this, I'm sure that if Australia had sweeping Black Friday sales you would have the same thing happening over there.

I said SOME americans have fucked up priorities, I didn't generalize and shit on all of america. When I see images or videos of black friday rushes it literally looks like sheep being herded into a pen. It's a horrible idea and not worth the lives (really sad I have to say that) that it costs. All over buying some material goods at cheaper prices, good god

I usually slip in after the big groups. I went into Best Buy, picked up Assassin's Creed Revelations and Assassin's Creed III (saved $48 buying those two, by the way), a Kindle Fire, and an iPad case, and it took me less than 30 minutes.

It also makes sense if you look at the financial crisis we are faced with. I mean, sure, it's not as bad as Africa or Egypt...but it's still a pretty fucking big deal.

how does liking a comment about patriotism for one's country gonna stop terrorism? I'm american i love my country but you gotta admit that our government and country is kinda going down the drain right now. I don't even know why I'm even explaining this to you your probably gonna just get pissed and start going off saying im not a real american but i believe i am so that good enough for me

User avatar #267 to #264 - meloninspector (11/25/2012) [-]
lol that was supposed to be an ironic comment I do not actually think liking a comment would really stop terrorism (would be pretty cool if it did though lol). I agree with you about our country going down the drain though
#269 to #267 - urfunnyman (11/25/2012) [-]

I'm curious about this post because from the looks of it OP is basically saying that Americans have stomped all that bad stuff out so the only thing we have left to fight is each other for some discounts.

Or was I supposed to go "Oh no! America has a corrupt government, epidemic hunger issues, no homeland, AND we're under a dictator but all we really care about is 50% off!!" Because if that's what I was supposed to infer from this that's just a piss poor try even for the internet.

All countries have their ups and downs.
BUT HEY, how bout we overlook all of Americas ups and go raging butthurt 12 year old mode, and yell at all of Americas downs even though some of their countries downs are worse than America's?
Sounds like a perfectly logical solution.
User avatar #220 - philliyoMLB (11/25/2012) [-]
I don't understand these, sure there are some dumbasses who do this, but I believe in EVERY country there are positives and negatives, some might not see the negatives or positives of other countries because of cultural differences. Everyone shut up if he has a problem with the black friday stuff (so do I) let him be. I think America is stupid for this stuff but I don't think America is stupid. I think Europe's sense of humor is weird and immature but I don't think Europe is immature. OP just pulled a classic media trick that's all.

OMG GUIZE HE INSULTED AMERICA! Truly, the creme de la creme of originality, you are.
/s

In all seriousness OP, if you have the time and money to be able to sit around and bitch on your computer all day, you're better off than A LOT of people, even some in America. You might actually make some friends and be less of a...cunt if you get off your high horse and stop acting like you're not an entitled little shit. I don't see you fighting for food or fighting a corrupt government.

Palestine does not exist. That land is Israel. Hate on me all you want, but that is the way it is supposed to be.
User avatar #233 to #213 - alltimetens (11/25/2012) [-]
Never understood what that meant. Palestine existed up until 1948 when the Israelis invaded and won. You could say the exact same thing about the United States, it isn't REALLY the United States, that land belonged to the Native Americans. What the Europeans did to the Native Americans is the exact same thing as what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians.
#226 to #213 - foolycoolyy (11/25/2012) [-]
and Tibet should be Tibet
north america belongs to the indians

but its not and it doesnt.

i have an idea. lets give israel back their land and the native Americans back theirs. fair enough right?

And that right there just earned you my respect. There's a reason I hate those who say they're moving to Canada or who support secession. Only cowards run from hard times.
User avatar #205 - HURLEYSURFERDUDE (11/25/2012) [-]
The reason americans can fight about stupid shit on our homeland is because our soldiers are out fighting battles FOR them. Hence how much at ease we seem because, hell, nobody has invaded the USA. If teas goes through with seceding and declares war on America THEN youll see some crazy shit happening. Not trying to rustle any Jimmies here, I'm just saying that we are at ease because we dont have outside forces trying to kill our families in our homes since our military is offing fighting.
