Why I hate the holidays

I hope everyone of these people are identified and thrown under an angry crowd.
This is exactly what Christmas has come to mean for America, discounts and consumerism. All anyone thinks about is what they are going to get and what they can buy. Greed. Consumerism. You would think that Christmas was invented by the retailers because I can see no other motive in the people who celebrate it. People actually walked PAST this man lying on the ground dead so they could get their fucking tv's. Yes this is an extreme example but I see more examples of this kind than any other. This is exactly the spirit that I HATE about the holidays. I've considered for a few years not celebrating the holidays but have held off 'because I have kids' but I think that I might decide to go ahead and stop. I don't need the stores to tell me when to buy something for my kids.

Btw... there was a feakin cell phone video taken of this guy dead and being worked on. Who the hell is out doing that?? This person was a temp and now is dead. He wasn't even supposed to be at work today.

Consumerism is the equation of personal happiness with the purchase of material possessions and consumption.
In economics, consumerism refers to economic policies placing emphasis on consumption. In an abstract sense, it is the belief that the free choice of consumers should dictate the economic structure of a society

Hope those people are happy with their tv.
