Definitely agreeing with Jerk here.

but also, maybe you could think about the people who are worse off than most of us here?? i mean, i saw something like this a little while ago, and i honestly think it really come in over here. think about all the people who usually cant afford the clothes they want, or that one toy their kid has really been wanting. now, i know what youre thinking, "if these little shits are more worried about fun stuff than paying off their bills, then they deserve to stay that way".

i guess, yeah. but whats wrong with wanting to indulge a little? i mean, think. theres this family thats working so hard because they have a hard time holding a job. the parents try and try, but they get layed off within two, three months, max. businesses arent doing well, neither are they. their rent has been late three times in a row, and theyve even almost thought about taking their eight year old out of public school. the seventeen year old is almost done with highschool, and she needs it, so she isnt an option.

so when next monday rolls around, they can all get new shoes. the old ones are riddles with holes, but they keep them just in case. the little one has a new stuffed animal. thats not all, they have some other stuff too. a used ps2 that passes the time better than cards. even a pretty awesome flatscreen (at least they can sell it for a decent amount if they have to). they all feel a little better, feel new. a step closer to being the regular middle class family.

i have no idea how accurate this is, but it seems believable to me. then again im just a dumb eighth grader, what do i know. but theres a general idea here. black friday isnt necessarily just for people to fight and bicker over new shiny electronics and stuff, but there are actual people who are probably better off because of black friday.
