    Re: Man Trampled in Wal Mart Stampede on Black Friday

    considering people behave like this just over freaking sales at stores, it's no wonder the Army assigned the 3rd Infantry's 1st brigade (and other units) to NorthCom for patrolling within the United States for crowd control purposes...(god forbid any massive riots occur due to decaying economic conditions within our borders)...
    I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

    I wonder if this is an antiquated concept. If someone makes 42k a year, do they really have to spend 7-10K on a ring? I don't think so. You can get a VERY nice ring for 3-5K that is 3/4 of a carat.

    Holy hell that's an expensive ring. Let's see... that would be about 3-4 months salary. Yikes.

    Agreed, although I'm not sure how good the video quality of those cameras is...

    Yeah, it is an expensive ring. I just am making the point that even if you want to spend and get a really nice ring, 2-3 months salary is NOT necessary in most cases. Of course I am still a student and make nothing really.

    Many engagement rings will run 1-2 grand though.

    Looks like the police are at least trying to identify some of the culprits...
