    Why it gotta be called BLACK Friday?????

    To get ? to shop.

    I wouldn't participate in Black Friday as a matter of principle.

    1) It's gotten to the point where these ? big box retailers aren't even allowing their employees the opportunity to enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. Opening at 12 AM, Macy*s opening at 8 PM, Toy R Us is so scandalous in the game that they opened on Thanksgiving Day at 5 PM. 5 PM! Geoffrey's punk ass didn't even give a ? a to eat, blow a blunt, and kick with his relatives before he was talking about come to work!

    2) I heard on the radio there was some ? that's was in line in front of Best Buy since Sunday. ? , ? yourself four times for that ? . Yeah I blame to retailers for opening, but the onus in the consumer. I always ask myself, "Do you really need it that bad?" From what I understand that Black Friday ? isn't even the best ? , it's ? that the store is trying to get rid of. The only reason I would participate in Black Friday is because I want to go into Macy*s Herald Square like at 1 or 2 AM and get a number per floor, so that would be a total of nine numbers. Black Friday is just doing too much.

    Black meant profit.

    They would do all the accounting by hand; red = losses, black = profit.

    Coined Black Friday = Profit Friday.

    I also read something that stated it possible Black Friday was first coined in Philly. There was so much chaos and accidents it was labeled "Black Friday".

    The whole accounting thing with the red/black makes more sense to me, though.

    Hmm...Black Friday, Small Business Saturday (which I actually respect), Cyber Monday; it adds up to No Money days.

    How about a Save the Bank Sunday the next weekend to encourage people to manage their money and assets better?

    I haven't done that ? since I was a kid. I'm not Fianna be camping out in cars or tents, 3:00 in the morning in 20 degree weather, just to get a deal on a product. I'm in bed sleep or smashing a late night tip bopper during that time. Plus you wait in line for 2 hours for a certain product, who's to say it might be sold out by time you are able to order.

    There are sales year round, especially online. I always get it for cheap or wait for the price to drop. I'm not fiening. Black Friday online isn't so bad though. Some online shops give really deep discounts that you can use as Coupon Codes. Very convenient. I've never rushed to a store though. I'm the type of person to buy slightly used and refurbished electronics though. People usually send stuff back for silly reasons and it works out well for me. I've had new stuff break on me quicker. At least with refurbished, they fix a problem that would probably have shown up with all the models and a used item is proven to work but people no longer need it or they need quick money. I also buy designer gear from discount stores like Century 21 or get deals online at Asos or Nordstrom.

    Toys R Us basically wiped Thanksgiving off the calender of it's employees.

    Usually, but with work I couldn't this year..

    I love the atmosphere of it all. (especially after a few tokes)

    feels like a dream being at stores at 3am, knowing you're not the only insomniac, running into people you haven't seen in years, catchin' up n what not. plus getting things at low prices doesn't hurt either. ? , you might even see a fight

    I think its awesome. I would recommend everybody do it at least once in their life...
