You people are fucked

[Certain]

Those scenes are almost as violent as http://www.hockeyfights.com/

[Masaii]

Consumerism at its best. The elite would have giant smirks right about now.

Like one comment says below the video; "if this is black friday, imagine the apocalypse".

[Diode]

defend soccer hooligans and chavs first, then we'll talk, k?

[Witty]

To be fair chav really just means poor people.

Many chavs are peaceful, they just have no sense of taste and very little intellect.

Football hooligans are morons, but every country has morons.

This is true and I'm American. It's pretty sad when the country cares more about "stuff" than each other.

[Witty]

This is typically American tho, a day of thinking only of yourself and how much money you can save, the day after thanksgiving...that makes very little sense to me. Consumerism is America's real faith and religion, so black Friday is the real holiday not thanksgiving, money is what they are really thankful for....thanksgiving is a day to eat a lot and not have to work from what i have observed, doesn't seem to be much thanks being given. This is just another example of America living inside its own little bubble while the rest of the world looks on in confusion thinking 'wtf are you people doing?'

I bash America a lot although i think it's the greatest country in the world in many ways, but there are definitely ways in which it could learn from other countries, she is young though, she will become wise as she ages.

[trap.]

We really need to thin the herd. I wish everyone that fought or trampled someone yesterday would die. Sad to say but it needs to happen.

[dead man]

terrifying but nothing surprises me anymore.

and once again it's the poor who suffer because they are A) less educated and B) in the most dire need of savings, hence they feed into this and endure the bulk of the negative consequences.

pregnant girls being stepped on for electronics? it's disgusting yo..

maybe next year will be better.

[King Ra.]

Next year will not be better. Because niggas will shoot and stomp each other to cop slashed prices on the XBoxOne & PS4. This is prophecy.

[DLB]

smh

only idiots even fall for majority of those "black friday sales"

u guys will risk an arm and a leg for some materialistic shit but swear u can survive without it, or praise "your god" that he blessed u with this shit

smh

[Boredom]

fucking pathetic and disgusting filth tbh

[uh-oh]

why would we defend black friday?

witty whats wrong with thanksgiving?

you get together with family, say what your thankful for and feast. you don't have to work, and there are 3 football games on tv.

its the best holiday there is

black friday isnt a holiday

he's meaning the whole basis of thanksgiving and how people do "thanksgiving". when you say the name, "Thanksgiving", you think moreso of how Christmas is ran. you give gifts in terms of thanking them for their being, etc. Thanksgiving is just a bunch of dysfunctional family members trying to get together to grub and be a bunch of fat ppl in a sense, lazily doing shit

[Witty]

Also when you go from being thankful to caring about nothing other than personal gain in the space of like a day it takes away from the sincerity, and shows which is really important and which is a nice little idea but nobody really takes it seriously, it looks from the outside looking in like both are done for personal gain and greed, even though one hides it under the disguise of being thankful.

Most holidays people celebrate are bullshit tho, i just think the extreme change of mindstate in such a short time from 'we should all be thankful' to 'we should step on each other for personal gain' makes this one more blatant and highlights the hypocrisy of the holiday.

[uh-oh]

you realize black friday isnt that big of a deal tho right?

i dont know maybe it is. i've never met anyone who had to go get a black friday deal, or looked forward to black friday. its just something they show on the news

but i live amongst my poor bretheren

so maybe im biased cuz no ones got money to just go buy something thats normally 1000 but is now 500 because major corporations want us to all buy stuff that day so they can see how much disposable income is out there, so next year they can tighten the clamps on the lower mid class and push more of them into actual poverty

but none of that has to do with thanksgiving

[Badweather]

People dying at sales events is like God's way of directly killing an idiot

[Witty]

There seem to be a lot of people involved in it, and I'm not saying it has anything to do with thanksgiving other than the fact this happened a day after these people were being 'thankful'...how thankful can you really be one day just to turn round and do this the next? I'm saying that this happening makes the holiday and what it stands for look like a pile of horseshit.

[DLB]

Black Friday is a big deal in America, along with Cyber Monday lol

idiots go crazy for this and since the majority of America are not intelligent, poof

[TYSON]

This is why I like witty. Real talk.

[Nigma]

And as for the stupid bitch who didn't let her pregnancy interfere with the shopping madness, that's like preemptive darwinism. She knew what she was getting herself into and she should be shot dead for still participating

[Answer]

People are stupid. That's all there is to it. So stupid that they would wait 2 hours out in cold weather with 500 people pushing and shoving each other, then fight for the chance to spend $100 on a slightly larger T.V. screen that literally doesn't change the viewing experience at all, all before waiting ANOTHER hour in line at the check-out.

So stupid that they don't even realize companies overstock on everything for the Holidays, because if they were ever understocked and ran out of product, they'd be losing a LARGE profit from their sales.

So come mid to late January and early February, when the holidays are over, all of that overstock needs to get out of the inventory ASAP - they sell the same $100 T.V. that idiots waited 3 hours and fought for at Walmart on Black Friday for $75

[Inno]

Another example of people being morons.

Funny some of you shrugged soccer hooligans off like its nothing.

When they act like there on a week long black friday.

Fuck outta here you foreign fags.

An since when is it wrong to try and save money?

And.

I dont know anyone who buys shit for themselves on black Friday.

The people I know buy there Christmas presents for there families.

So where is the selfishness?

Stop generalizing.

[Ghost1]

Seems like hey.....defend yourself for these random acts of hatred


Um?

Ok......seems like surely we couod find things similar to this in any country

Its humanity thats the problem....

Imo all the other countries all like gossiping girls....OH LOOK WHAT AMERICA DID EWWW I CANT BELIEVE IT THEY ARE LIKE SOOOO GROSS

lol

America is the man of the world


On my LIFE. I have never sat around and EVER given a fuck about what's going on in other countries....it doesnt affect me in any way.....regardless of how you will all swear up and down it does.

Maybe im close minded but......i literally do not give a fuck about this or any other acts of hatred thru out the world o have no control over.

well, hooliganism has nothing to do with money, or much to do with football, really. it's violence, using sport (in this case: football) as a vehicle. firms, or 'cliques', are built around football clubs, sometimes several within a city because derbies (local vs local) are the most volatile. and they beat the fuck out of each other.

but these people turn up to games to beat the fuck out of each other. usually after getting sloshed... i think that's what you don't get. there is no misleading premise, or fights at malls over consumerism rubbish the day after you give thanks.

also, italians are known to have the absolute worst football hooligans.

this is another case of typical american ignorance. please educate yourself.

and don't generalize?!

realize all over-generalizations are dangerous <<< even that one.

'MURIKAH

[Ghost1]

Oh ok so the reasoning used to justify the violence is relevant to the degree of acceptability......

Seems legit.

Good sir

I realize that I generalized* lol and that stupid of me.

But.

How can you differentiate violence here?

Your basically giving me an excuse as to why hooligans are hooligans.

I can turn around do the same thing.

Black holiday shoppers act like because of the unbelievable deals.


Now what.

I hate ronaldo.

[Eŋg]

i wouldn't justify the violence -- although sometimes men just need to throw down, right?

i'm explaining how it's a culture, beyond football/britain, and isn't juxtaposed.

idc really about shoppers going berserk. aggressive foreign policy? maybe.

ok @ innovator:

consumers act like that because they're dumb; emphasizing materialism in a capitalist society which is exactly what we need.

hooligans act like that because they want to fight. they're dumb, too. but i think wanting to fight is a better pursuit. srsly. wanting to fight because you wanted to fight. lol. not over sales?

you shouldn't compare the two. you can't, really.

[uh-oh]

you should watch out oxus^

even though i completely agree with most of your sentiments, there are a lot of women who post here who don't understand human beings innate love of harming other human beings. we are bred and lived for war.

those soccer skirmishes are no different. its a bunch of people united under one flag, going out to fight a bunch of people united under another

ITS HUMAN

AND GUESS WHAT

ITS FUN

its the most natural thing human beings do.

[DLB]

the only women to post here in the last couple months has been DG and possibly kyzo

But your doing it again.

You telling me the reason americans act like is stupid.

But then sau hooligans act like that because its the culture?

Black friday is a part of american culture....just like soccer hooligans prepare
For games...so do shoppers.

I beleive...we are doing the same thing.

Defending something tgat is normal for us
..you soccer and ita culture...

Me..capitalism and its culture

So I cant go to a, soccer game and not fight?

Just like shoppers...I thinl yall thinl everyone who shops on black friday is going shopping
With intentions to act a fool.

I dont thinl soccer fans go out to games with intentoons to act a fool.
It just happens.

Passion is palapable in both instances.

[Ghost1]

I wont justify the violence


Proceeds to justify the violence.

Cool story bruh.

[Eŋg]

no. i'm not a hooligan. football fans aren't exclusively hooligans. they're hooligans who might like football, but probably don't -- they just want to cave a skull in. that's a hooligan.

the guy who gets caught up in the raucous that you're talking about? happenstance.

i'm not defending hooligans. lol? i'm saying they aren't just brits and football fans.

i have no idea what american culture is.

[uh-oh]

Word..im not a black friday shopper.

We good oxus...you need names I can pronounce eph.

[Eŋg]

oh, right.

there is no nationalistic pride from me. like at all.

i'm just saying: punch someone because you want to. not because they might buy that discounted but still overpriced apple product you want that some kids in congo mined material for.

[Ghost1]

That is why they wanted to.

One is not better then the other.

Violence is bad.

Grow up.

[Eŋg]

depends on the manner of violence.

and ok. yea, maybe. they wanted to throw down so they went to the sales. i hear that.
