To me, and I know this sounds counterintuitive as hell, but it's actually better that we kill and eat livestock. Yes, I know that a lot of what goes on with farming is inhumane, but what was 'inhumane' was (if you wanna consider this such) breeding these animals down to where it is otherwise impossible for them to survive naturally out in the wild. Now, most livestock animals require human assistance in order to survive. Strip that away and they all die out miserably, and we humans face an even larger world hunger crisis. I'm an animal lover, so I understand the vegan's mindset, but sometimes the cruel aspects of mother nature just can't be avoided. Best to just make the process as painless as possible, rather than upset the entire balance, if ya know what I mean. That's just my thoughts on it anyway. People should eat what they want, I don't care. Just saying that eating meat doesn't mean you don't care about animals. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online is one thing. Climbing over top of others in a store is another. Hell, I prefer to shop at night cause I don't like the typical day crowd. I couldn't imagine myself in a Black Friday mass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing day (day after Christmas, but the boxing day sales are 2 days after Christmas) sales are like that. Here shops shut at 5 Supermarkets 9pm. Kmart stays open until 7pm so does Target Monday to Friday. Thursday night most shops stay open until 9pm, in the city (aka Adelaide rundle mall) its Friday night that's late night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I got a great TV and Tivo. But I also don't like the crowds and definitely prefer online shopping. I love my TV and Tivo. You see, unlike you good folks, I don't have a life. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're closed till Monday at our place. I needed to go to the grocery store this morning and was kind of surprised it was open. I thought I'd feel guilty but no need: the place was packed with last-minute food shoppers such as I. I really wanted all of the employees to be at home with their families. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca-RoseElsie-Raemom1921 Posted November 24, 2017 #7485 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Fast food places are now allowed to legally be open on Christmas, but they have a surcharge added. Pubs and other gambling places must close at 2pm for the day on Christmas, law brought in a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mostly avoided the crowds cause of a rather extreme case of social phobia. I'm getting over it now, but I'm still socially awkward at times. So yeah, I've kinda avoided it because I don't have a life to the contrary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you don't like store crowds you must not like theater crowds, especially on the opening day of a film like Star Wars. I just wait for them to stream. You should come to our museum tomorrow. Black Friday is one of the busiest days of the year. I actually look forward to it becuse it's the one place I enjoy crowds. And it will be crowded. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think, but I've been working there for fifteen years and Black Friday is always packed. It helps that this museum is one of the largest in the world, so it's a great family activity for everyone coming in to see relatives. And it also helps that some of Chicago's ritziest shopping is within walking distance. A long walk, but it's supposed to be beautiful tomorrow, so a lot of people will be out. We've had a miserable fall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to know what you think of that place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
