I've asked it on multiple ocassions, otehr have asked it to: where's the proof that more of WalMart's stuff on the shelf is from China that what you'll find in Target, JcPenny's, Sears.

Yes, mutiple occasions. Perhaps it would be understandable is there were a point to it.

Also, I can't see how you come off criticizing High Road for "spamming" when you are just as bad a tape loop and "sacred cowish".

There is a point to it: challenging the common wisdom. A lot of people on FR believe certain things with no proof presented, so I asked for some proof. And the poor shlub was completely incapable of answering the question.

I criticize him for spamming becaue he threw a couple dozen pages of rubish in one post which takes up more screen space alone than everything I've put into this thread. I wouldn't have to tape loop if if he'd: A- answered the question the first time or B - blown it off completely. Instead he C - began dodging and weaving and throwing in red herrings and just generally trying to pretend he was answering the question while actually no. This forced me to restate the question. Notice once he finally went to B I walked away, now you've decided to go for C and resurrect the whole thing. As for my sacred cow, you're damn right it is, when I ask a question I want it answered, and when the reply consists of nothing more than obfuscation I will point it out and re-ask the question over and over and over until the person's head explodes... or they actually answer the damned question.

So, since you saw fit to resurrect this 4 day old fight: do YOU have ANY proof that WalMart BUILT it's success on Chinese slave labor? Understand there's two major parts to that question: part 1 - proving that WalMart delt in more Chinese manufactured goods than the competion BEFORE they became king of the hill; part 2 - proving that Chinese labor is slave labor. Now part 2 should be a gimme, a fellow FReeper freep-mailed me half the proof and it was a whopping 1 page, shouldn't be too hard to finish it off. Part 1 might be a little harder but any debater worth his salt should be able to handle it.
