Hey Trollfingers, you hoo started this thread.

You've at least made your position clear, but in saying that Walmart has watered the milk and induced colon cancer I believe you are simply lying.

The big boxes ain't pretty, but they are one way in a free-market society to supply a lot of product to a burgeoning population who are having their jobs 'took' oversees.

I have been to Arkansas and the caliber of people I found there were sufficiently higher than your implications. Many of them own Walmart stock.

I'm sure you are happy with your K-Mart stock and your Martha Stewart kitchen towels!

Paul Harvey says if you don't live near a Walmart, move!

Good day!

"Cracklin Dried ChickenShit and Bran at Wal Mart: $2.39"
Naw they still put in chickenlitter into the boxed products to make up for the weigh of brand product removed....

for the novice to wholesailin - har har - chicken litter is chicken feed and chicken shit which is dried and reprocessed to make it tasteless then added - heretofore - to animal feeds. Nowadays the senior Maul Wart
folks and their OSU friends have expensive tastes, sooo they have to pass the hat around the customers to see how stupid they are.

interesting statistics in Forbes latest list of the world's billionares.
It seems that 5 of the top 10 richest people ib the world are WalMart heirs! "If Sam Walton were alive today, he'd have twice as much money as Bill Gates."

Make of that what you will....the $$$$ sure didn't go to high salaries for the workers.

Marty,

Not everyone needs to consume as much as you.

I do not buy gas. Sold my car.
Electricity? yes. From the grid? occasionally.
Heat? Wood, hot water and solar for water.
Tampons. Never - they cause PID's

Purpose? Conscience and future generations.

Whats your purpose? You don't have to answer that. I know you are perfectly content to feed on chicken litter soaked in watered-down milk. Eat it up big boy!

Why would I want to bash men? I only bash those that try to push me around. My daddy always told me not to start a fight but... he said, if anyone starts a fight with you, remember there are no rules.

So, if you think I have bashed you, its probably because you deserve it.

I'm going to add some humor here, but what the heck no one will read it. Our local Wal-Mart, which I don't go to, has a big open three sided shed in the parking lot. Reason? We are in Amish counrty and the horses and buggies need protection!

Date: 10 Mar 04 - 05:58 PM

Yeah but if they park the horse in the shed? would the horseshit be packed in with the chicken litter for later use,? or do they sell that as fertilizer? Oh no they couldn't, since it is company policy to salt everything with crap in case they might actualy give the customer what they asked for.

The Land of Opportunity is a funny place. We want to protect Mom & Pop, but only as long as they stay Mom & Pop. When Mom & Pop work hard, run a tight ship, make a pile of money, and turn their enterprise into a chain, then they're the enemy. I don't get it.

Apparently not, Kim, so one more time:

a state survey of Georgia's public health insurance program for children, released just last month, found that more than 10,000 of the children enrolled in the program had a parent working at Wal-Mart.

Though Wal-Mart is the largest employer in Georgia, the number of its workers' children enrolled in the program was far more, per employee, than other large employers in the state, the survey found.

"This is a company that has grown exponentially by not paying a living wage and not providing their employees with benefits," Maikels said."

get it now?

Best, Greg

In short, the Georgia taxpayers are, in effect, subsidizing Wal-Mart. You wind up paying them money whether you shop there or not.

I understand the Why about Wal Mart - I was speaking a little more generally. Even if we took Wal Mart out of the picture, people would still be bitching about the Chain Stores, whether it's Kroger or Target or McDonald's or Starbucks.

I have a friend who works at Wal Mart, and has for several years. I don't know how much she makes, but she isn't broke.

You are the one who should worry about bodily functions as you are so old and decrepit that you are lucky that you still have any. by the way, American spell it as "shit." As in, eat shit.

dianavan,

Now you saved 25 cents, had to take back the cereal&chickenshit plus the watery milk, it cost you the gasoline, your time and your pride as well, not to mention higher taxes to subsidise the underpaid welfare drawing employees of the unmentionable entity across town.

Bruce:

Take my advice. Arm yourselves & meet 'em at the border.

They've ripped the guts out of the economy of the small community where I live; only folks making out are in the corporate HQ. The local MalWart boosters who worked to bring the store in have now figured out they made a mistake & say so- but its too damn late.

There used to be a bumper sticker out there:

WalMart: Your Source for Cheap, Plastic Junk

Get yours today.

Brucie, et al, Wal-Mart has been in Canada for quite a while. There was a big scandal about 15(?) years ago, when they were opening a store in Vancouver, and wanted to have a gun department. They apparently weren't aware of the laws in the country in which they planned to operate!

Just as in the States, Wal-Mart has been putting merchants out of business, particularly in smaller towns and cities. They build a strip mall just outside the town (cheaper taxes), plant themselves as the anchor business, and suddenly everyone in the town is shopping at the mall.

I've been in a Wal-Mart store once -- there's one in my town. It's a funny, funny story -- I have a Mexican daughter-in-law whose parents are multi-millionaires. A few years ago when the parents were here for Christmas, we exchanged gifts with them. Mine was a cheap, tacky, shapeless shirt from Wal-Mart, which I returned after Christmas as it was too big and I didn't like it. The clerk started to ring up a refund of $10, but a supervisor said it had been on sale before Christmas, and was only worth $7.50. I washed the money, then gave it to charity!

No, I don't like Wal-Mart. I wish people didn't focus only on money. If people are poor, I guess Wal-Mart is a good thing, but boy are they ever greedy and ruthless in their business dealings.

Wal Mart was stopped from building on Marine Drive in Vancouver.

It was alot of work stopping them. Petitions and more petitions but it was done. We knew that it would be the death of the small communities north of them.

As a result of stopping Wal Mart, we have thriving, innovative businesses owned mostly by young people. It is so much fun to shop here that it has actually become a destination point. Why give your money to the already rich? Why not spend a few pennies more to support small business entrepeneurs? Property values in our neighborhood have skyrocketed. Everyone wants to live here because we have a small town in a big city.

It all boils down to you get what you pay for. If you think Wal Mart is going to save you money, think again. Its another form of false economy. The cost to the quality of life is enormous.

Wal Marty - We have lots of water in Canada and I use it freely. I use soap, too, but not Ivory, Dial, or Irish Spring. I prefer homemade soap with vegetable oils and oatmeal. But for a real treat, I like good old Dr. Bonners. Its minty and tingly and nice.

It must be hard for you to live in this world when your mind is tightly constrained by only that which is familiar and branded. It seems so safe, doesn't it. What will you do if the shit hits the fan? Your dependency is frightening. I guess you're not a risk taker and certainly have not attained any level of critical thinking skills. You are a living example of the functionally literate. Literate   enough to become a good little consumer, dumb enough to believe the ads. I'll bet you even believe that if it wasn't good for you, the government wouldn't let them sell it.

Hey, Dianavan, I didn't know about Wal-Mart and Marine Drive. I do know that I love going over to Vancouver and shopping in that area (I'm from Victoria). Two hands clapping to you all for keeping Wal-Mart out of your terrific, funky neighbourhood!

I never get tired of Main Street. It has been a great experience being a part of this community. The business owners are unique. They prefer to co-operate rather than compete. What a concept! Its an entirely friendly place and its in full bloom.

Another odd but wonderful part of this community is that the "down and outers" are more than just tolerated. Every neighborhood has their "street guy". The "street guy(s)" do odd jobs, pick up your empty cans and bottles, and remove anything you leave in the lane (they seem to find a use for everything). They offer a form of protection because they are very territorial. They don't like strangers prowling about and if anything goes missing from the yard, they will find it for you. I often provide lunch for our street guy if he's around. The old lady across the street let him sleep in her carport when he was temporarily homeless.

It is a community of mixed ages, incomes and many languages but everyone is accepted if not embraced. We have something very special here and its contagious. I hope you visit again and thanks - fighting Wal Mart was worth the effort.
