Wal-Mart Orientation

[Midnyte_Ragebringer]

All people who shop at Wal-Mart are inbred, red necks?

No, I said that your family is inbred, and that you shop at Wal-Mart. Independent variables. There was no mention of rednecks. Lots of people shop at Wal-Mart, a large number of whom are probably intelligent, well-rounded people. People who are not intolerant of other cultures or lifestyles, or stubbornly, hypocritically ignorant. The only group of inbred mutants that I was speaking of was your family, and even that may have been too harsh. It's quite possible that whatever is wrong with you is caused by a recessive gene, and for the sake of the future of humanity I hope that your wife's genes, the environment your children were raised in, or some other random variant has not expressed the same phenotype in your descendants.

Get it straight.

Nice. I'm offended by your comment. Consider this a PM reporting you. You saying that to me is no different than calling someone fat or ugly, which you frown against. Actually it is worse. From a picture, you can tell someone is fat or ugly, but you are making libelous claims against me with no evidence.

Who gives a shit if someone thinks your family is inbred?

Sticks and stones and whatnot.

Look at ISP's... People were starting ISP's in their houses... It was a booming and competitive business market that just about anyone could get involved in on the cheap. Now, it's all controlled by monstrous corporations, and you have no chance competing against them.

Well, many of those people starting ISP's out of their houses were using the infrastructure of the "monstrous corporations." It is no surprise who will come ahead in that situation. It would be like that same Houseware store opening up, but using Wal-Mart as the supplier for the goods.

I see your point, but the seller is rarely(?) the producer. Wal-mart does not make everything they sell, they buy it from other companies, just like the local store would. I worked for an ISP in 1997, they had a T1 from the phone company and were able to sustain a business model from it... now, you can still get the T1, but no ones going to buy help you pay for it. You can still buy a big building and fill it with goods, but the odds are people are going to shop at walmart instead.

I don't recall any ISPs run out of a home giving me 12Mbps!

Then again, I can whine because I know I could get 30Mbps but Cox won't increase the speed until competition from FIOS arrives.

How does every other business in the World get their merchandise to their shelves?

Wal-Mart is really just a big arm for globalization. Before globalization products were made and distributed locally. Wal-Mart differs by other businesses, not involved in globalization, by making products in heavily unregulated polluted areas (China), then transporting the products via boat and trucks, and creating stores that are not efficient. Frankly, these processes are not sustainable despite what efforts they are doing now for publicity.

And that Wal-martfacts.com site is really credible. /yawn . I might as well look up facts on conservapedia about evolution!

Soooo... lemme get this right: You're a fat, ugly, easily-offended genetic failure with an inbred family? That's what I got out of it.

Don't worry, we can spot your rantings a mile away.
