Americans are Consumerist Whores

I don't understand.
It was like. OH BLACK FRIDAY! LOOK AT THOSE DEALS! I'VE NEVER DONE IT--LET'S TRY IT!
So I go to Kohl's HEAVEN FORBID 2 hours after the doors open, and the single gift I've been looking to buy my sister for over a year was sold out. AND THE FUCKING CHECK OUT LINE WRAPPED AROUND THE ENTIRE GOD DAMN STORE!

Seriously?

If you think it's acceptable to stand in line for 3 hours to BUY something, you're fucking off your rocker.

If you don't have the money to buy items when they're not ridiculously marked down, you shouldn't be buying them at all.
Are the individuals of our country really so weak as to not be able to go against a social norm? To not buy Christmas gifts if they really can't afford it?
Or is this another pressure placed upon us by our country's "religious" background?

Sure, you could say, "But aren't you one of those cunts, too, since you went out shopping at 5am?"
You could say that.
But I will respond with this:
"No, because I walked in, saw the masses of idiots, and walked out. I'd never done it before and didn't think it would be such a fucking event!"

In all honesty, I'm more upset that I couldn't get this gift for my sister than anything.
I even went online last night when the sale started, but *SURPRISE!!!* they didn't have the means to hold up their website under such intense traffic *so* NATURALLY it crashed.

I just can't believe that people are so obsessed over purchasing. People fighting one another. For a mere $10, $25, $50 off? HONESTLY if you can't afford it at regular price, YOU SHOULDN'T BE BUYING IT!

There's nothing wrong with wanting a good deal, but too many people BUY THINGS just to BUY THEM. For themselves, for other people, for everyone!

With my gift for my sister, yes, I could afford it at regular price, but I don't want to pay that much for that particular item. But I'd rather buy it at a lesser sales price when I don't have to sell my soul and stay awake all night to get it.


And we wonder why Asian and Near Eastern countries hate us.
