You see a problem, and I see a business looking to do more business.
Some social conservatives have a problem with that and believe Walmart is no longer worth supporting.
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.
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!
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.
At a cultural cost some social conservatives believe is too high.

I don't think you understood my comment, but that's okay as I was merely saying I'm familiar with your position on the issues.

That's great you have a relationship with your pastor. For retailers, I take exception when they support organizations that erode the culture of this country. That's merely because Walmart has past the point of what I'm willing to accept from them as a business.
It's too bad you don't have more of a choice for stores where you live. I'm not saying you would support stores other than Walmart, but at least if they existed you'd have the choice. We purchase most items online... and not from Walmart.
