I do. I think it's hillarious that people like you can get your gonch in a knot over something like this.

Can't for the life of me see why you would get all worked up about Wal*Mart: one of the better examples of American Capitalist Industrial initiative, a wonderful success story. Like Ford, like General Motors, like Microsoft, like General Dynamics and General Electric. They all keep thousands of people employed, pay a snootful of tax, and generate wealth and prosperity while making it possible for people to buy stuff cheap. They probably aren't perfect, but they are hardly Antichrist material.

You think Wal*Mart sucks. I don't. Their world-view varies somewhat to yours, so they "suck" in your opinion. Maybe they think that *you* suck. It would be fair if the sentiment were reciprocated.

I'm certainly not going to get into bed ill over the perceived suckiness of Wal*Mart.

I frankly don't care! They can suck away, and I do not give a fat rat's arse. There's a WOT happening out there, and crime is running rampant in the absence of enough people giving a tinker's cuss (the latter being my particular interest). I'd rather hunt down Bad Guys than give two Hoots in H*ll about the suckiness of Wal*Mart.

If you don't like Wal*Mart, shop at Cosco: they'd probably be happy to have your custom, and Wal*Mart would probably be happy to lose it: at least they could suck in peace. A win-win if I ever heard of one!

In the Grand Scheme of Things, Wal*Mart may well indeed suck, but on a scale of 1 to 10, their suckiness scores about a 2.1 perhaps in my reckoning, whereas the suckiness of "P"-Methamphetamine in our streets scores about a 9.3, with al Quaeda scoring a perfect 10.

Crikey.

The upper class in the USA is 80% liberal. They support Republican politicians only because they serve their economic interests.

General Dynamics does not make cheap aircraft... General Electric does not make cheap jet engines...

But, Microsoft does make cheap overpriced crap... Ford (from my hometown) makes lousy, cheap cars and Henry I's great grandson is a trust fund slacker.

Starbucks - - a two dollar cup of coffee is ridiciluos... sucks

McDonald's... nasty a$$ plastic garbage... Clinton likes it... sucks...

Nike? I wear Tony Lamas, Justins, Abilenes or a pair of Adidas when I run... Nike is overpriced, so it sucks too!

Hmmmm... I think I see where you are coming from.

You are probably happiest walking everywhere (Ford sucks) barefoot (Nike sucks) selling root vegetables for your subsistence (McDonalds sucks) and occasionally taking very, very long walks between villages (General Electric Sucks, General Dynamics suck) to trade with other folks (Wal*Mart Sucks)...

...I gotta hand it to ya, mate: that's about as Conservative a position as it gets. A bit too rudimentary for my taste, but to each his own.

I am actually happiest running everywhere through the forest or the open plains in moccasins, hunting the deer, elk and bison, fishing at the lake or on the river...

There are not very many things better in life than this.

What really woke me up to the reality of many top American CEO's, not all, being Neo Fascists in tuxes and $5,000 suits was the orgasmic gala the Clintoons held for the top dog of China.

These Neo Fascists in their Tuxes were tripping over each other to be close to the Clintoon and/or the top ChiCom.

The CEOs of GE/IBM and some mentioned in the reply by Milhous were all over these two. I did some quick research at the time re corporate donations and donations from top dogs to the Clintoons in both presidential elections, and it was a real wake up call.

Being a CEO of a company with the best products/services and people providing the best products/services which decimates competition is not an evil thing.

Evil happens when you have so/so products/services, and you get into bed with someone like the Clintoons to make your company a chosen fascist company. That is the real evil. Then, the taxpayers, users of the products/services and the competitors with maybe better products/services suffer.

This is why so many of the left wing controlled corporations are in trouble today like the MSM companies. They stopped doing research, providing a better product/service and hiring the best people. They took the money "saved" from funding those operations and donated it to the Clintoons, the Rat Senators/Congressits, governors and local government. When the Clintoons stripped the White House and left after GW was sworn in, these Neo Fascist Corporations lost their one asset, the bought power from the Clintoons.

I remember hearing about this. All those people just sounded like a bunch of cheap prostitutes, selling their wares to the commies. The greed of PIGS!

The videos of the CEO's running to lick the Clintoon or kiss the ChiCom leader was a big wakeup call.
