Animal studies made famous by John Calhoun (1962) show that crowding in the animal world results in what he calls the "behavioral sink."
Human studies made famous by Dr Satoshi Nakamoto show that intensive rounds of Keynesian money printing in the financial world result in what he calls the "Walmart sink" and what Dr Ben Bernanke calls the "Kitchen Sink".

this Orwell quote was in the paper today. " Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It was bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfullness, [booyah] disregard of all the rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words it is war without the shooting." George Orwell
and the day after that war has ended we loot the stores
Maybe WALMACHT?
Everything almacht frei
Just part of the fundamental change being wrought upon the US. When things go south, perhaps this behaviour we are are being trained in will pay off..........
Good training sessions for the future inadequately filled government troughs for food and other survival goods.
WB7, On rare occasions sublime human behavior is beyond parody or satire. Good try though!
Heading out to WalMart this morning.
Got to strap on my ceramic body armor, first.
Warmart...
For only the most discerning customers.
You'll find that Black Friday sales at gun stores are quite civilized affairs.
Friday I went over the local Sam's/Walmart supercenter around 8 AM, I needed some freezer bags for excess turkey. I was surprised that they weren't very crowded. Don't no why, could be the colcer than usual weather, the broker than usual buyers? Noticed that we aren't having much mob or even individual violence at the Texas Mauls. Could be because in Texas you can't tell who is packing and a lot of people ignore the no guns signs. I talked to one of the Dallas Police officers that work part time there and he said what violence they have had has been fisticuffs between individual and usually they've been able to head that off because staff will radio when they hear voices raised.
You spelled maul wrong
lol

Sir William: are you trying to tell us something?
On occasion ...
Understated much, williambanzai7?
Sorry had to give him a big red downer, maybe I missed the /s...
DaddyO
Yeah...You missed 666's sarcasm. I have read in other posts what 666 writes. You know that you can change your Arrow? Just click the Up Arrow and see what happens.
Sir Wiilliam has mastered his skills. You know it. I know it...So does 666 (even though I am diametrically opposed to that Mark.)
It's just a symbol, Tom. It only means something if you think it means something.
I read it as sarcasm. But I read everything as sarcasm ;-)
<sarc>
OK, I'm confussed- do two sarcs make a non-sarc? OT, but seriously worth attention; Not all americans are useless stupid consumers of all things Madison Avenue.. Just got home from a Blackberry Smoke show at The Tabernacle and because of same, have renewed faith in humanity. This is not highbrow stuff that these guys do. Just straight up, in-your-face, Southern (US) music in the tradition of, but not exactly like Duane and Gregg and Ronnie and Billy and Hughey- and I'm bettin' you know who I'm talkin' about, Wm.
The people, yeah there was a couple drunks and one hottie who, had she been in her right mind, wouldn't give me a second glance at this advanced age. Otherwise, the folks all knew the songs, and the room was filled with their voices. The band let the crowd sing quite a few verses, I hope they were recording. It was awesomel.
Sorry for hi-jacking, but know you like good tuneage, and an occasional bit of good news.
Thanks for the intro to blackberry smoke band!
If you're so inclined, you can catch them in Nashville with Hank Jr. on New Year's eve- for free! Oh, and you're welcome.
Agenda 21: cram everyone into the city proper, have them travel by blight rail and busses and bikes. Imagine the rest...if you can imagine the horrors they will happen.
Get out while you still can and where the sissies will not dare tread.
Light rail is a great time-saver - "let someone else do the driving for you", so you are free to spend your time doing what you like. As for bicycles - if more people used self-propelled transport, we'd probably be seeing a generally fitter, healthier and more polite society.
Now, try measuring in wealth, and watch your 'savings' disappear.
You want a light rail, pay for it your own fucking self.
You want a warfare state where Raytheon, ge, Boeing , get as much corporate welfare as the so called free shit army get? We'll pay for it yourself !
William Banzai where did you get that shopping melee picture? Everyone's smiling? Only thing I can think of is that it's the ammunition counter at the Little Rock Walmart and ammo is plentiful.
I stared at that picture for a while trying to decide what to make of it. In the end I decided everyone thought it was funny to watch someone trying to mug another shopper. There is one guy with a goatee mid-left, who clearly seems unhappy with what he is experiencing.
okay fellows here's your orders, go out and fill this cart up with all the private and personal data you can and report back here.
You can just imagine what this shit looks like to the rest of the world, except perhaps the United Kingdom. Not that we give a rats ass on Black Friday what the rest of the world thinks about our psychosis. But sooner or later it all comes back around. I can just hear our expert IMF Harvard Soviet PhD shitheads trying to lecture the so called emerging markets about how they should take the medicine we won't chew when the shit finally hits the fan.
Yup, same shit in UK.
Please, call it 'Black Eye Friday.'
I just got junked by Paul Wolfowitz who is having a sitz bath with his German shepard and surfing on his blackberry.
The rest of the world makes fun of the US. One of the least free places on earth who's population believes they are the most free. A police state that sends its armed forces into every corner of the globe to murder people in the name of freedom. Freedom to stab each other in a mall parking lot. It would be funny it werent so sad.
W Bush was right on when he said 'shop and defeat the terrorist' it suddenly became clear what the war on terror was all about. the problem from a global perspective is the under consuming (saver) nations, JAPAN, and to some extent Europe. this is the bone of contention with Indias (anti) gold policy. Gold is a nightmare (for them), because its the consumer product that never needs an upgrade, a service plan, never wears out, and is never obsolete. gold is the essence of saving money. (money on deposit is really on loan, and can be devalued which makes fiat cash undesirable as they want it to be) the PHDs only work for the power brokers, they come up with the proper policy recos or they end up at a JC somewhere. part of managing the system is setting up some strawmen, PHDs who disagree with the official policy, and for that you must find the most feckless, incompetent of the group, and allow ONLY them to defend the arguments against their own official policy. you could write a book about it, but most people know how it works.
A hush comes over the land as swarms of newly uninsured Americans set their sights on healthcare.gov for Cyber Monday.
There's only 10 health insurance policies that will actually cost less and have lower deductibles that are up for grabs....and only 300 million stand in the way of you and Nirvana.
To enter Thunderdome you will need the pass phrases "We had to pass it to see what's in it." AND "Yes we can."
Stop by the death panels booth to get your free cyanide capsule.
ROTFLMAO!
