Chrstmas Brings Out the Worst in People

Post by xHaZxMaTx »

Yesterday my mom and I were going over to BestBuy... so close to Christmas? Good luck finding any parking. It took literally about 10 minutes to finally get in a space, but the whole time my mom was just in a really pissy mood about the whole thing and she called one chick a booboo for not oving her car out of a space fast enough.

The day after Thanksgiving, where I live, the Mall opened at 2 in the morning, and from what I've heard it was totally insane; riots, people getting trampled, and what-not. And what's with Christmas in July, don't we get enough of it in November/December? One radio station here was playing all Christmas music all the time like a wekk before Thanksgiving. WTF is up with that?? It's like some kind of weird virus or something... :?

Yeah each year the Christmas season begins earlier.

In a commercial center near my home (Carrefour) they installed the Christmas lights on the mid October :roll:

No riots here.
We like to shop peacefully :).
If you can't get a parking space at the store's/mall's parking lot you just park somewhere else and walk from there!
Geez...

That is why I will never go to Atlanta, well one of the reasons. One of the most dangerous cities and atlanta has lack of decency issues. Three being a white guy in a mostly black very dangerous city ain't a good idea.

Usually people get all stupid like that because they either don't want to buy gifts. Are too late to the store to have the gifts on time. etc.

Well maybe the shopping isn't restless but when the holidays start ppl die at home. Suicides and even whole families have been killed by a family member in past if I remember correctly.
Not in big numbers, but still ppl die.

you guys dont even know the true meaning of christmas, if thats whats happening.
Its not about shopping, and people killing because parking spaces, its about celebrating the birth of christ. if shopping is so bad, why go?
saying you hate christmas is basicly saying: "i dont care about anything Jesus did for us" :roll: at xmas h8ers!

Too bad dude. I'm already here. :lol:

But anyway I'm not going to say anything knowing that I'll just be flamed and made fun of just like what usually happens when I post something religious. :x
