Does anyone else find it ironic that Americans spend the most money on new things the day after they say they're grateful for what they already have?

Nope. The way I see it,they are grateful to have the money or the credit to buy the stuff they just bought.

I just bought a new computer and everything I need to go wireless in the house,and I'm damn grateful all that stuff was on sale and that I could pay for it over the next 12 months with no interest.

Most Americans were NOT shopping on your religion's sacred buying holiday called of all things "Black Friday". With nary a contrary peep heard from the Christian TeaBagger factions either.

That looks like most to me. Unless you think there are at least 452,000,001 Americans and illegals residing in this nation.

Now tell me how this is my "religion".

A record 226 million shoppers visited stores and websites during the four-day holiday weekend starting on Thanksgiving Day, up from 212 million last year, according to early estimates by The National Retail Federation released on Sunday.

I guess all those good old Scottish thrifty money savers were liberals according to you. "A penny saved is a penny earned" and all that. Good words to live by, and here I thought you said you were a conservative.

But getting you lemmings to buy dump fodder trinkets on credit, a truly recent phenomenom in the history of the US, got us into the Bush recession and it's going to get us into the next.

There is no way they can figure unique versus return shoppers in less than a couple of hours. It's a gross over estimation used to push the herd mentality on the susceptable. Mooooooo

Lol. I only bought my wife a Kindle for 78 bucks at Walmart.

I have zero credit card debt. I don't use the things. I don't buy trinkets or anything else on credit.

If someone wants to go out and save some money buying stuff when it is on sale. That is a penny saved....

Even by your figures, the weekend was three days, and most went each day for the new bargains that were offered each day. So we are under 100 million and you think that's a majority? of a nation over 330 million?

Mooooooo

The Times article includes websites and didn't exclude supermarkets. How many people shopped for food items only on Thanksgiving from Wallyworld, and rom other supermarkets during the next three days?. I do know I was out of milk and did go and buy a gallon.

I guess I'm a lemming too.

Moooo

I don't understand why libs have a problem with people going out shopping.

One word: "jealousy."

Libs are so busy whining about what everyone else has that they don't have enough time to earn enough money to go shopping themselves.

Conservatives (REAL conservatives, not the NEOCON criminals like all the "acceptable" GOP candidates) are too busy working to earn their own way, to just sit on their asses and whine. And when they DO get a day off to do some Christmas shopping- on a day that happens to have massive retail sales- they take advantage of it...

You see the difference?

"Whenver the dwarf sees something negative about a Democrat, he tries to change the topic of the thread to something else. Usually a personal attack, followed by mutterings about correct 'grammar' 'spelling' whatever. Anything he can think of to avoid a discussion about a Democrat screwing up or looking bad. It's a decade long pattern." --Badeye observation--

They get mad because they think the money other people are spending on luxury items for themselves should be spent on THEM instead. They think your money is their money,and you are stealing from them when you spend it on yourself. AND....,for the 17th million time,they are NOT "libs",or "Liberals". They are as far from being "liberal" as it is humanly possible to be,so WHY do you still insist on calling them by a honorable name they stole to cloak their communism?
