No.

You’re wrong.

Again.

It’s becoming a habit for ya.

You don’t know “my type” and you never will. You’re incapable of being a conservative since you lack the inner directions given by God and Christian civilization to comprehend the philosophy.

BTW, I termed your kind authoritarian. You know, little dictators, bullies, thugs, NAZIs, Fascists.....you pick your poison.

As for your veiled threat to physically harm, or seek to see one refusing to produce his papers harmed, just be glad you’re too cowardly to act upon your fantasy. There’d be weeping in your lodge that day.

Now, pizz off, Adolph.

And NOW, not only am I a union geek, (against my knowledge! I must have been sleep-union-joining when I joined the Geek Union!) but I also spend weekends in Wisconsin beating up old ladies???

I didn’t think I’ve ever been in Wisconsin! If I have been to Wisconsin to beat up an old lady, I wish you’d tell me when it happened, in case I took any pictures of the pretty lakes up there!

Let’s say an upstanding public spirited citizen of Virginia is carrying and some geek is holding up the line in front of him hassling a clerk, and he pulls a gun on the clerk that means the geek just turned himself into fair game.

Thumper, the scenario is you are holding up the line and keeping me and others from exiting the store just so you can exercise your ego by intimidating and verbally abusing a store clerk.

That's clearly the mark of a hard core union thug.

Yeah, I bet you cut in line and all that stuff.

Eventually you will get hurt by somebody. While you're lying there bleeding to death I'll step over your body on my way out the store ~ just like I would any filthy little communist.

Sounds like a union guy who hates Walmart. Why should I pay more for everything I buy so this guy can clear the way for thieves?

Yup, and if a Virginian doesn’t like a guy walking around a line of docile serfs while everyone else is submitting, so he pulls a gun to shoot the guy walking around the line, HE has made himself fair game, too...it goes both ways.

The problem is that Wl-Mart is enacting this polisy without giving their shoppers enough information in advance

I think they should post a sign at the door saying they will ask for a reciept for purchases at the door to discourage theft, expectially for large items. This helps to keep walmart prices low.

For that, I dont mind showing them the reciept, although I agree with this guy on principal- that the employees are just acting like sheep

Reading the comments here shows me there are an awful lot of brainwashed sheep who have accepted the police state mentality.

I’ve never cut in line, ever, not one single time. In fact, I always let people with less items than I go ahead of me, as I let people in a hurry park in an open space, and as I let people go at stop signs if they seem in a hurry.

I am very polite to everybody. I have never, ever, not even ONCE, cursed at someone or gave them the middle finger.

And, while I am filthy after working in my garden or mountain biking in the bush, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a communist!

I just don’t believe in servile, docile submission to people in authority ordering me around when it is not required by state law, or is actually against state law.

It’s un-American to be so servile. If it’s a proper request, by a proper authority, sure...I’ll obey, happily, but if it’s a cop wanting to search my car without PC, or a clerk telling me I cannot leave, as I need to show him my receipt, why...I’ll politely decline, and in the case of the clerk attempting to hold me without probable cause, I’ll step around him and be on my way..

But I don’t think you can comprehend that ideology...

Oh well.

Ed

“Organization” is elemental. The state of nature could not exist without it.

I don't see how that explains how “Natural law is also on the side of Wal-Mart.”

Walmart loses cases like this every year. Probably every month or week.

You’d be surprised.

Resort to ad hominem noted, btw.

The argument was that “natural law” couldn’t apply to corporate entities. Obviously “natural law” does apply to corporate entities.

And in doing so he's now emboldened those who would prefer to steal a 37 inch TV from Walmart and successfully say no to the receipt checker blocking their way.

There IS an alternate solution which will not alienate the honest customers : Stop suspected shoplifters outside in full view of witnesses. Best deterrent, and strong motivation to get it right.

What's the shoplifting rate? 0.5%?
If the store is wrong, take your lumps.
Better than pissing off the honest clientele.

Wal-Mart is not the police, it is not the state. Only union thugs dare mouth such ridiculous propaganda.

You are simply needlessly impolite ~ there are words for you type ~ all of them UNKIND.

Sam’s and Walmart keep prices low by keeping things simple.

Making things simple and convenient, doesn't make it right.

The ultimate destination is "Chur peppers, pliss!"

And the TSA.
