America has bred the perfect Consumer!
 
Or has it?

Quote:

I went to the Walmart in my parent's town on Thanksgiving around 8pm. I was driving back to the hotel and I saw it PACKED! Therefore I went in, and expected to interview people about why they are there. Instead I saw this, videoed it, and was promptly kicked out of the store
Video footage is 49 secs.

Yep, nothing like trampling others to save a few bucks on a TV. Consumerism and mental issues all balled into one.

Sadly, I did not see anything out of the norm. :hmmm:

Ducimus 11-30-13 10:50 AM

I am very thankful that my town does not have a walmart.... yet.

Wolferz 11-30-13 12:32 PM

Bred?
More like programmed.:timeout:

Commercials on TV every eight minutes has an effect on the weak minded.:hmmm:

I bet the gov't could disqualify a bunch of disability claims if they just attended black friday sales. :har:

Watching that reminds me I really, really, really need to purchase a rifle just in case the ACA is the straw that breaks the camels back. :hmmm:

Not being rascist, but around my way the Walmarts got the same if not worse from other trash of other colors. Fat black welfare queens, who got nicer and newer cars than I do. This is not a white biased thing, but poverty based perhaps.

Amazing they can pay for a 2 year old benz or BMW on welfare and food stamps. (I won't even be approved for a loan from them) freaking amazing

Am I automatically a rascist for pointing that out?

I bet if car companies asked for check stubs to back up payment, that crap would dry out.

Black welfare queens in nicer cars. This is not prejudice of course, but so unfair. People having more money than you. But most of the people on earth have less money than someone else (there can be only one being the richest by definition, you know).

Of course not, i take it the richest people in the US of A are still white.
Ok, maybe Aretha Franklin, or Tina Turner? But what do i know..

Of course there can be no white welfare queens and kings. They are just better dressed ? Or have no cars ? How do you identify them.

a.s.o. a.s.o. but i guess i am too tired.


All generalizations are wrong :O:

Morally, that is the correct thing to say. In all practicality however, all generalizations are not necessarily wrong. From my experience, that is as an inconvienant and ugly truth as racism itself. There are always exceptions to any given generalization, and any given rule, but for some things they are correct more often then they are wrong.

soopaman2 12-02-13 05:23 PM

Thanks catfish, I guess you never seen a woman pay with foodstamps then drive off in a Benz..

But I am rascist and wrong for pointing it out right?


You sure paint it that way.

My wife is a manager at a supermarket chain that spans across the nation, and is owned by a Dutch Multinational corp. (any more I would violate her social media clause paper she had to sign.)


But ya know, I am just a rascist sack of crap, and worth being discounted, due to your sensibilities.

After all it never happens if you say it doesn't.


Walk a mile in our shoes.

Cut up my post all you want to make it look racial and insensitive, but I speak on what I see, maybe it is different in your area, but it is the same freeloaders.

So you affirm no one besides whites commit welfare fraud? From what is seen on my end....Your "facts" have little merit. I got a wife in the practice, you got your morality. I go with facts, a wife who seen it, not your speculations on what goes on in my area.

Maybe it is different there, but here it is Mexicans and blacks who suck up WIC and SNAP, then drive off in new cars.

It is what it is, and I call it as is, no I am not rascist, I am honest.

Ducimus 12-02-13 05:27 PM

I think everyone makes generalizations somewhere, regardless if they realize it or not. Even those with their nose up in the air claiming they don't. We're all human, and human nature is anything but perfect. Personally, the only time I make generalizations is when my lifes experience in something demonstrates a constant trend that rarely strays from that trend, whatever it is. Not neccessarly people (though i do have my generalizations there too), but any given subject.

soopaman2 12-02-13 05:42 PM

I had a thought, half brought on by Ducimus, the other half by Catfish.

We are exactly where American Business wants us. Trying to kill one another rather than them.

Black Friday sales, really? Is it that important? Are you that big of a douchbag?

People tazing people, tackling people for 20$ off a damn TV.

Materialism at its finest, as a liberal, peoples greed works hard at making me conservative.

I can understand tea partiers now in a weird way.


And I freaking hate wal mart, and what it is doing to our country.
