Because most people are incredibly thick and easily led.

I don't see why my shopping plans should be dictated to by religious nutters. If you don't want to go shopping on Sunday or public holidays then don't. Just don't force me to accept the religious BS and let me go about my business.

THIS. And quite why the Catholic Church keeps pontificating on issues, I just don't know. They lost any moral authority years ago.

I wont go shopping on Boxing Day, not because I'm religious as I hate all that crap but because I believe the shop staff and the other people who have to support them should have the two days off.

There is plenty of time for shopping from the 27th onwards, and yes one day the supermarkets will be open on Christams Day just so people can buy that one thing they have forgotten that they don't really need anyway.

People now buy things to feel happy or valued, it's a vapid existence, time is spent chasing wants rather than just fulfilling needs. I find the whole consumerist culture quite pathetic.

Quite a strange one this,people saying its not right to go out and buy products on Boxing day,but are quite happy to purchase the product that is Football on that very day. Thus denying people two days off work just so they can watch sport ! hypocrite's

Ah! If it's not a tangible product it is OK. So it therefore follows that procuring a hooker for sex is fine.

Where do you draw a line in the sand? It's all relative. If you have sufficient means to buy what you want, why not?

If we are restricted to totally necessary purchases, fcuk the cars, the houses, the Cobblers and virtually everything we embellish our lives with. On the whole, those extolling the virtues of a minimalist existence either have little cash, or pay a fortune to complete it in style.

I'm happy when I don't spend excessively for long periods of time, or if I throw some cash at something that makes me smile.. Attaching drug store psychology to it makes no odds to me...    Grin

Come the glorious day, comrade, it will be...err...glorious, I guess.

I must have missed the bit in the Bible where it said thou shalt not buy bananas at half past 5 on a Sunday
