We've just begun a serious discussion at our house about whether we will withdraw from shopping at Wal-Mart. They are close by; we spend thousands of dollars there a year; but they have succumbed to pressure and are actively promoting the homosexual agenda and homosexual marriage. Just look at what they are doing in Idaho, where Family Leader is working hard to pass a state marriage protection amendment.
Enough is Enough
Wal-Mart Sponsoring Diversity Week
The following is a report from our friends at the American Family Association. We work in coalition with them on several projects through our Washington D.C. affiliation.
Wal-Mart has given its full endorsement to the homosexual agenda and homosexual marriage. Boise State University in Boise, Idaho, will observe LGBT Diversity Week October 9-13. One of the sponsors for the Diversity Week is Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart is joining the Pleasure Boutique (an adult bookstore which bills itself as "Idaho's largest selection of adult movies and DVDs and largest adult toy selection in Idaho") and other groups in sponsoring the week. Diversity Week is a week of celebrating homosexuality and promoting the homosexual agenda and homosexual marriage.
Among the events being sponsored by Wal-Mart is Idaho Votes No Campaign Update and Information Workshop. Voters in Idaho will be voting on a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage in November. This Wal-Mart sponsored event will inform voters how to oppose the amendment and how to get others to do so. Wal-Mart is putting their money behind the effort to legalize homosexual marriage.
Other events being sponsored by Wal-Mart: Gay History of Idaho, Diversity in the Workplace, Women's/Lesbian Issues, Hate Based Crimes, Heterosexism, Homosexuality and Disabilities, LGBT Youth in Trouble, MCC-Faith and LGBT, and a youth dance for those age 24 and under.
Wal-Mart is throwing their clout and cash behind the homosexual marriage effort.
dont' they have their own "homosexual-mart" in San Francisco?
Surprised Wal-Mart has not sued over the name.
Just for the record, this statement is demonstrably false. Often repeated, but false nevertheless.
They still sell guns here in VA.
Actually, the "shopping experience" is a valid consideration in deciding where to shop. Convenience, ethical considerations, and yes, whether hotties shop at the store are all things to consider. Not everybody makes the decision only based on price.
Maybe, depending on my mood, it's worth the extra few bucks to avoid having to deal Wanda from the trailer park, 250 lbs but still wearing a tube top and low ride jeans which reveal her thong and tramp stamp, chasing her 12 children down the bread aisle (who are opening individual bread loaves and trying them out), shouting obscenities and stepping on old people's feet.
Most of the time, I'm still OK with putting up with Wanda. But sometimes, I'm not in the mood. But that's just me.
Walmart's downfall will not be a competitor with cheaper prices, but one whose shopping experience is more pleasant. Mark my words.
Never been to the Sun either but I know it is hot.
Simply because one has not been to a particular place doesn't mean that one has to live in ignorance.
You do realize this attitude is going to cause a lot of people to become outraged, don't you?
And that's the beauty part -- even folks who are outraged by the concept are potential customers!

You guys have only half thought this through, though (wow, that's a lot of 'ough' words in one sentence). I am going to create 2 websites. Each with a plethora of Donate buttons.
The websites will be polar opposites. One will be full of outrage for one side, and the the other website will trumpet the opposite. I'm gonna get 'em coming and going. Each site will of course link to the other so if someone gets to the wrong one, they can just hotlink over to the 'right' one.
If my wife and I are standing before you, and you ask if my wife is pregnant, and I say "No" while my wife simultaneously says "yes", one of us HAS to be wrong. It could be that my wife hasn't told me yet, or i wanted to keep the pregnancy private, but only one of the answers would be "true".
There can be only "one truth", not "many truths".
This is not true, but I doubt the OP meant it like this. (And you probably knew that). But the Law of Noncontradiction is so true that in trying to disprove it, you prove it.
I have no idea what the margin is on selling guns. I'm still assuming that if it were profitable for them to sell guns, they would.
Spot on. And retailers fail on a regular basis because they lose sight of this simple fact.
Except for clothing I found the exact same products in Target as WalMart, but at higher prices. Their clothing was over priced crapola, and the clothing for children was/is designed to make little girls look like streetwalkers.
The nearest Target to me now is 50+ miles, WalMart is only 14, and I can get respectable looking, good quality clothing for my 8 year old in wM, something i can't get in Target.
Your sinister plan will cause the internet to implode on itself!
Sounds like you Target is the same as my Wal Mart and vice versa.
All this proves is that the stores are not all the same.
Your sinister plan will cause the internet to implode on itself!

You are right. I'll have a third website. Internet Repair site.
Thanks.
There can be only "one truth", not "many truths".Perhaps you subscribe to the libertarian idea that each person creates his own truth . . . . If there is no one source for truth, then how do you know that the things you believe are valid - 'cause they work for you?
The statement, as qualified, certainly does not appear to be a recitation of the law of non-contradiction. And as you noted Warren_Piece, it is demonstrably false as written (and, I would venture to say, as qualified).
And in answer to the question you pose above, Psalm 73, I would say -- yes, validity is borne out by experience.
Both Wal-Mart and Target use some of the same manufacturing facilities. The difference is in the designs.
Yep.
I'm quite happy, thank you. And those situations were very real back in the "good old days", and were much harder for women and men to escape from. Now people who find themselves in miserable family arrangements can get out more easily, because these rigid family arrangements are no longer widely regarded as obligatory. Though personally I would not to enter into any situation in the first place, that I couldn't walk away from completely without government permission.
I have noticed at the two Wal-Marts I frequent there has been a very obvious increase in the number of employees who are going out of their way to let people know they are homosexual.
Just something that makes one wonder.
Apart from having your own cotton plantation and sheep ranch, what else would you recommend to consumers who wish to avoid those manufacturing facilities?
