Politics and Religion
I'm with you on this one. The only thing I'll buy is more booze to pollute my liver. I do that every other day, so WTF difference does it make the date of the day?
I have to go to two different Thanksgiving deals tomorrow, against my wishes, but I'll be picking up more booze and you can bet your ass I'll be at home drinking my face off Thursday night and Friday day... 
It's a nice change to write something, click it, and see it go up instantaneously like the old days, lol!
Being moderated for life is HELL!!! 
on black Friday and never will. I internet shop for the things I need new and have them delivered. I only Christmas shop for children and send packages to soldiers overseas. Anything that has to do with toys for me, with the exception of sex toys of course , I buy used and scan craigslist. I am a thrifty shopper and save for big things I want and use no credit cards. Hell, I drive my 92 year old grandmas car that is 12 years old with 30k miles. I never get a second look from the police in my grandma car. But have gotten a couple tickets in the mail from those cameras that spy on us now at intersections now.
Not being totally knowledgeble of the Occupy this and that movement. But being more on their side that not by default by being one of the 99%. I say yes let's buy nothing on friday and because most probably I will have nothing better to do, I'll go and sit around in the mall where the temperature is ok.
I don't think they enforce the penalties all that severely, but rather they destroy the contraband (probably, often, some luck stiff keeps it instead of destroying it).
