I know we aren't all in the U.S. and don't all celebrate this weekend, but no one would argue against some kind of Memorial Day Weekend sale. [:D]

In America, we turn every holiday into an excuse for sales and mass consumerism (and drinking). It is disgusting, the whole purpose of the holiday is missed. Ask the younger morons (citizens) what Memorial day means, and you will hear things like: oh the pools open, day off from work,SALES! Not one will say it is to remember those who offered their lives for us. So yes, Let's have a sale!

Not every young person is a moron and not every older person remembers and has morals.

I didn't mean for it to be a bash people there. [:)] I do remember and I know what it means. I'm not saying you meant me, but anyway... there it is. [:)]
