If Black Friday Was A Movie

Put aside 4 minutes of your day to poke some fun at America’s leading religion: Consumerism.

Consumerism is what keeps America from collapsing. What IF these videos are faked in order to encourage people to shop. After all if there is false flag terrorism, why not false flag consumerism. Like when Turkey took the blame for something some other country really did.>> https://goo.gl/qazI3V

They also have their priests, their tithes and soon their government tax exemptions

And they create hell for those who don't believe

How many native English speakers (who don't speak other languages) actually pay attention to verb conjugation?

"How many native English speakers (who don't speak other languages) actually pay attention to verb conjugation?"

 

My guess?  Less than 25%.

Verb conjugation ate my lunch in Spanish class though.  Yo soy, nosotros estamos, el esta, etc. (oops, sorry for injecting Latin).

This is not conjugation; it's mode.  Contrary to fact requires the subjunctive mode.  It's miss-used everywhere, all the time.  It degrades the English language because it eliminates the subtle meaning.

If...if only the money spent on Black Friday went predominantly for goods made in the USA.  What a better holiday season this would be.

I shop online as much as I can. For Christmas, I give my grandkids each a few silver eagles. They get plenty of junk from other relatives.

NNE I don't have an issue with using "was." "Were" is a bit of a hangover from olde english and in england people give you a strange look when you say "were."

The only things that make me do a double-take these days are people adding an extra "i" syllable in erudite and not pronouncing the "l" in solder.

Our soldering iron does not have an "I". 

English is drifting apart, wiill soon get a new name like Amerish. I prefer Strine, though. Europe will be on Denglish.

Don't you like helping your fellow man, buy so they can eat?????

There was a time when you could have single events like concerts, shows, even poetry readings or a sale. Then came the time when everything needed to be part of a festival or nobody would take any notice. Now we have buying festivals, too. Next? Bowel cancer testing festival? Brain surgery festival? We might have already had that ....

Well, I haven't spent a dime since last Monday.  I do not know what to get the wife but I remembered that some time ago a fellow ZHer purchased a tactical tomahawk and then I found these.

  http://hiconsumption.com/2014/04/12-best-tactical-tomahawks/

"What do you get the woman who has everything? You get her a tomahawk! The Jenny Wren is fast and lightweight enough to easily be carried in a purse, but serious enough for close-quarters combat that no fool who wants to keep his blood on the inside would call it “girly.” It is only 11.5 inches long and weighs 18.5 ounces so it can only be used for light breaching, but is great for quick fights or distance throwing. The really impressive feat is the penetration of the spike."

Forget the damn jewlers.  I will get my wife a nice ball peen hammer, a leather hammer holder and a nice leather belt and call it good for a lot less than a tactical tomahawk but those things are very cool.  I would rather buy more wrenches and screwdrivers and other tools than to buy more electronics.  If shit goes down as one day as it eventually must, you will need tools.  Tools are heavy.

I like my metal.

The wife bought a three pound whale bone hammer a few years back. She says she wants it "just in case..."

Sometimes she scares me a little...

Goes to show how low a once great nation can go when liberalism/socialism takes over.

Anything is acceptable to a dumbed-down nation.

Even having their jobs taken away and being invaded by illegals is favored. Otherwise your labeled as intolerant.

The greatest trick the devil ever performed was convincing everyone he doesn’t exist.

 

His second greatest trick was convincing everyone that Black Friday does exist.
