Dont trust walmart its an evil empire set on dominating the economy and eventually the world MUWAH HA HA HA!!!

...I just think their take on social networking sucks. I mean really really bad. :) But I'm glad someone pointed out the evil there, too!

So what is next for Walmart? Socialized medicine? Will we soon be able to walk into our Walmart medical center and get an exam by a doctor wearing one of those lovely "How May I Help You" badges. When doe it end for this company? Better yet, when does it end for us? At what level are we as a society willing to go for low prices?

Only jealousy make some people and competitors to pick on Wal-Mart. The best way to fight it, not buying there. Don't shop there. Where is the problem?. I thing they provide excellent service for costumers and best prices for all, that's why they are so successful. I thing, they forcing others to keep honest prices too. They make employe happy with out Fat Union Bosses.

I love to see doctors in Wal-Mart asking me "How May I Help You" for reasonable price too.

I've watched Wal-Mart getting a bum rap for a long time. Here where I live they are breaking their necks from trying to keep Wal-Mart from building a store here. Fools...don't they recognize healthy competition is good for "our" pockets, provides more jobs for people who really need to work and gives us the option to go somewhere else. I have friends that work for Wal-Mart and are happy working there...plus they offer upward mobility. How many big chains do that today for the little guy. As far as "My Space"...its overrated.

I don't deny that Wal-Mart provides competition. However, when the chain puts other competitors out of business, how many choices are you left with? Competition with Target, Kmart, Sears etc. is fine. But when the local shops in your town have to close up shop because you as consumers forget your local vendors and forfeit quality for price, then you end up with one big corporate bully out to eliminate small business. Once that happens, what are all of those people whose businesses are destroyed supposed to do? Work for Wal Mart? Think about it. Bigger is not always better.

Wal-Mart needs to learn to never, even publish it's first version of anything publicly. It also needs to realize that having "lame" used as an adjective for anything teen-agers will use is death, so why even bother?

Wal-Mart is evil. They are working feverishly to destroy the world economy by selling people the things they want at low, low prices. How dare they do such a thing. It is outrageous! Wal-Mart is evil and must be destroyed! Everybody knows that high prices are a good thing. The higher the better. The higher the price, the more taxes the welfare system collects. And robbing Peter to pay Paul is surely the path to equity and social justice. Wal-Mart is evil and must be destroyed! It is even better if the prices are so high that you can't afford to buy what you want. We all know that consumerism is evil and a preoccupation with material stuff is bad for the ecology. We pillage and plunder the environment just to get the stuff we want. How selfish of us! Wal-Mart is evil and must be destroyed! Actually, we should return to a living as primitive hunter-gatherers. Shun materialism. I urge you to abandon your gadgets and the Internet. Wal-Mart is evil and must be destroyed! After you read this message, just say no to Wal-Mart and the empty, materialistic life. Put on a loin cloth and return to the wild. Help put the world back into environmental balance. Go primitive!!!

@Guillermo: your attempt at humor, while well meaning, is completely nonsensical and reveals something...er...else about you. Sorry. Anyway, back to the discussion itself?

These kids need to stop wasting their time making videos for this lame Wal-Mart site, and check out the new StyleFeeder site. This site will let them shop and share whatever from wherever without the parents looking over their shoulder and without the 6-minute acceptance time out. Anyway, are these kids really proud of their Wal-Mart fashion. They shop there because their parents do because it's cheap, not because they like it. WERE I a 17yo, I would rather share my back-to-school- fashion picks from Abercrombie than Wal-Mart. On StyleFeeder, they can look as cool as they want, even if they are shopping at Wal-Mart.

Don't you agree that: 1. Wal-Mart's low, low prices are evil and destructive? 2. Materialism and greed are morally evil and anti-progressive? 3. Consumerism results in the destruction of the environment? 4. The wefare state is a good way to redistribute wealth? 5. High taxes are necessary to the struggle for equity and social justice? 6. Modern industrial life is evil and stressful? 7. We are evolved to live as hunter-gatherers? 8. A return to the primitive life we are best adapted to is a good thing? These are some of the fundamental premises of modern progressive thinking. If you disagree that reveals something...er...else about you. Sorry

Guillermo; you obviously understand far less of "modern progressive thinking" than you believe you do. As a matter of fact, every single one of your points is not only blatently false, but incendiary, typical conservative stereotypical, non-starting, inflammatory, blatently untruthful and purposefully ignorant speech. Which is yet another thing you've revealed of yourself. Your...wit..speaks volumes of your beliefs. Well done. I think you've said all that needs to be said.

Please, say it ain't so. Tell me that you don't really believe that consumerism is a good thing. Surely you acknowledge that we are destroying the environment by stealing the natural resources from future generations for our own selfish uses, don't you? Tell me that you don't doubt the truth of evolution. It is true that we evolved from our primate progenitors to live as hunter-gatherers, isn't it? Don't let me continue to think that you might be a crypto-creationist. And surely you believe that greed is morally evil, don't you? Don't say otherwise. I couldn't bear it if you were to parrot Gordon Gekko from the movie "Wall Street" in declaring that "Greed is good". I won't elaborate on the truth of any of the other progressive verities that I enumerated in my earlier posting. I just beg you to declare yourself a proud progressive and proclaim the truth as I have revealed it above. Don't let me continue to believe that you reject the truth of progressivism. Don't let me linger in doubt as to your progressive credentials. When it comes to the possibility that you are anti-progressive: Please, say it ain't so.

As I said, you've said it all. You obviously know what you're talking about. or you know nothing at all. Hmm. That's all. Feel free to continue this discussion with yourself.

Thank you phoenix. I am really and truly flattered that you are apparently waiting with bated breath for my pitiful missives. I see that your latest comment was made only 8 hours (and 13 minutes ) after I made my posting. AND you made it at 5:10 *AM* (in the morning). That is really early. You are definitely the "early bird". Thank you for rising so early to read my foolish (or as you put it, "blatently false", "incendiary" and "purposefully ignorant") postings. By the way, would you care to explain why my "points" are false? Or are you satisfied merely to keep saying that I am "ignorant"? Tchuss!

Yet another round of Wal-Mart haranguing by highly educated and highly paid snobs. What's new? It strikes me that there's two types of folks who don't like Wal-Mart: 1) Union types (a rapidly diminishing breed), and 2) well-enough paid types who don't *need* to shop there. When I think of Wal-Mart customers, I think of a high-school educated recently-married couple with a kid on the way. They are just getting by. They need to worry how to pay for laundry detergent and getting their nine-year old used car fixed, not which iPod to buy next. For those folks, a new Wal-Mart opening nearby is like getting a raise. BTW: Studies show that when a new Wal-Mart opens the net employment in the area goes up by 100.

And a 1, and a 2, and a 3. This ones over folks. Verdas is on the canvas for a TKO.
