And to me, that is the difference. AFA is pushing this issue, not WalMart.

I try to look at the source of the problem and the source is Walmart looking to increase it's business through a homosexual website. Some social conservatives have a problem with that and believe Walmart is no longer worth supporting.

Personally I hope AFA succeed in getting its boycott going against WalMart.....that means less people in the store when I want to go shopping.

I've read some of your posts on Walmart and some of your posts on homosexuality. What I think is humorous is I *knew* you were going to say that!

You see a problem, and I see a business looking to do more business.

More power to them. My initial comment was in regard to the fact this would be a non-issue if it were not for the publicity being given it by AFA. This is not the first time they have made sucha mountain out of a molehill when it comes to WalMart.

It makes no never mind to me what kind of comments you "know" I'm going to make. My position on both issues remains consistent. I seek my pastor for questions regarding morality, for shopping, I go to retailers and not the other way around.

WalMart is a retailer, it is a business seeking to do good for it's stockholders by appealing to consumers. Other than Lowe's, WalMart is the only major retailer in a 40 mile radius of where I live, until they openned 7 years ago people who lived around here had to travel between 50- and 100 miles to get to any major retailer. They contribute much to the local community in many varied ways.

They are a retailer, and just like any other there are things I don't like about them, but what I do like about them far outweighs it.
