Wal-Mart Faces Pro-Homosexual Attack

Sure would be nice if "private companies" could pick and choose their customers, the same way customers pick the private companies they choose to shop with. But the trial lawyers wouldn't permit that.

The very fact that the number one topseller gay (homosexual) magazine in America is called INSTINCT, is enough to know that my 10-14 year old sons don't need to see hear or think that being homosexual is an instinct. Call me a homophobic, I don't care!

[Karsus]

You might want to improve your debating skills. Calling someone an incorrect name is not good form.

Not that it is any of your business, but I do have kids and both my wife and myself consider ourselves conservative. According to your logic, since we like to watch porn we are not 'true conservatives'?

And the GOP wonders why they have trouble getting out the vote for their side.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Of all the years I have been online, CWFA is (that I have seen) filled with alot of various conservative issues. Last week they had an excellent article on the facts of the judicial nominees.

Maybe the radio show you listened to was themed porn, specifically?

Dunno, but their web site has never given me the same impression you stated.

[jimt]

A non-smoker can demand a smoker not smoke any where in public, in some cases even their own homes, but for decent people to demand that their children not be exposed to sex magazines in the check out lane is a scandal.

Neither of which is moral or right.

Don't like the checkout line? Don't shop there !!

Not only does it remove the irritation, it decreases their revenue. We are NOT entitled to force the world conform to our desires, only to try to persuade it to do so.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

With the DNC "it depends on your definition of porn."

The HBO shows Six Feet Under and Sopranos has porn in it,I watch them both. The show Will and Grace has made being gay "hilarious." Before 'parental controls' we all snuck and watched the then brand new- HBO- the then forbidden fruit as teenagers.

If there are folks out there that watch only The wonderful world of Disney and PBS, all power to em. Many shows alot of people watch have porn in them, but "it depends on each definition of porn." I resect the Baptist religion for instance, yet I expect the same respect that I drink,play bingo,gamble, play cards.

Typo fix...

CWFA is concerned with their brand of 'conservative' issues. Which is their right as Americans. But they wish to take away others rights and force others to follow their beliefs, which is wrong.

If they have trouble with Cosmo, Victoria's Secret, and porn then don't shop at places that carry them. But they don't do this, they try to get the hand of govement to make it illegal, which seams to be the reverse of their 'conservative beliefs'.

The same arguments the are used to support gun ownership can be used to support quite a few of the things that CWFA rails against.

God gave use freewill. Why do so may people who profess to be 'Christians' want to take that away?

Abortion is the big problem. Not porn.

[TightSqueeze]

I don't know, I've never manipulated any money, but good stewardship of the funds with which I've been entrusted, and planning for retirement in such a way that permits me to meet my needs and continue to support Christian ministries might be considered "related to" Christianity.

Just who are you trying to convince here, you or me? Furthermore, as I read it your best efforts in this area would still only amount to nothing more than a pile of filthy rags, now if there is pride involved, well, you have become a stumbling block too.

[Rodney King]

Don't worry about tightsqueeze. If you follow the thread, you will see that his opinion is this:

"Investing in the stock market is a sin. Except for me. When I do it, I don't claim to be following the Bible, therefore, it's ok. Oh, and all you who asked me to back up numerous times that investing in the stock market is a sin - wait, what was the question?"

Really, follow the thread. That sums up his opinion on the matter.

[maxwell]

I'm one Christian investor who doesn't need Mr. Ally to give his seal of approval to my investment choices. "Sexually suggestive" magazines are in the eye of the beholder. When I'm in the checkout line, I don't look at the magazines, and I never buy them. Meanwhile, he's doing his investors a disservice by refusing to invest in a strong, profitable company.

Yeah-- I think Ally's efforts would be better directed to tackling this whole "preferential treatment for deviants" deal that the "tathk forth" is trying to push... (Nice one, Tex... Bwahaha...)

[maxwell]

LMAO!

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

I took the article differently than you. I suppose we are left to assume; but I do not think they have a problem with anything but the homosexuals wanted their mags i e...... INSTINCT on the check-out shelves of Wal-Mart/grocery stores etc...

[Karsus]

from http://www.cultureandfamily.org/articledisplay.asp?id=2774&department=CFI&categoryid=cfreport "The months-long effort was aimed at having sexually-suggestive materials, like Cosmopolitan and Glamour magazines and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, either removed from check-out lanes or covered with blinders, so as to not offend customers — particularly those shopping with children." I listen to the CWFA radio program (right now they are talking about the issue of God in school/public) and have read their website. http://www.cwfa.org

[Corin Stormhands]

but is it really that disturbing to see a "J. Lo sex romp" headline while in the grocery lane?

As a parent who had to explain oral sex in the Oval Office to a (then) seven-year-old, and who has another child just learning to read...yes.

[Karsus]

Then don't shop at stores that carry products you don't like. That is the solution. It is not an easy solution, but it is a solution.

[Corin Stormhands]

Then don't shop at stores that carry products you don't like.

I don't have a problem with anything they sell. If I don't want it, I won't buy it. But I don't think it's too must to ask to have the option of not subjecting my kids to those headlines.

I'll still shop at Wal-Mart and if/when it's a problem, rather than an inconvenience, I'll either shop elsewhere or just not take the kids.

But as a loyal customer of any establishment, I've got the right to voice my opinions, either verbally or by walking out.

[THE Aardvark]

Strange, but I never see any of these magazines when I check out in Wal-Mart. Of course, I check out in the gerden center, where the lines are shorter and I can park closer to the door. Not even a racy gardening magazine.

[MissAmericanPie]

I am entitled to alot of things, and I want everything I got coming to me.=o)

Second hand smoke as nothing on having your three year old ask what's up on a magazine cover. It's not moral or right to have those magazines where children can see them.

It's not societies obligation to make purchase of such material convienient to the customer. A business is smart to go with what the majority of customers prefer.
