Neat to watch...

I think perhaps Wal-mart and a slew of other Chain retailers which find themselves plastered in every town and city.... causing all parts of the country to look the same, is perhaps the only evidence that Capitalism is evil.

It's funny you should say that because that is one thing I loathe. Where town after town has the same strip malls and stores.

Walmart seems to have grown like a plague. Replaced small business stores with cheap #### #######. As well as stores that seem to be a magnet for a wide range of weirdos. Watch the movie idiocracy and you will see exactly where the US is heading. It kills me that nobody has been able to beat this store. Then again as long as people are stupid enough to shop there, they will continue to expand; with no chance of anyone ever competing with them.

And people are stupid enough to live here and gripe about it when they could go somewhere better. Do you think people shop at WalMart because of the designer labels or because it is cheaper than everywhere else?

You're actually the ideal walmart shopper.

In today's world, everyone has choice; I do think however that becuz we are in a financial crisis, people would tend to try and get the most out of their money's worth... so if the deal is with Walmart, then that is their choice.

I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. People who never would shop there before are doing so now. Of course, the resident retard isn't smart enough to figure that out.

Well the joke is on them since the more they buy from China, they poorer they and the country gets. We are all I this together as that is how an economy works. Every cheap always comes at a cost.

Yes, coming from the biggest clown of them all.

You post your details and then I will post a pic of my PC. I make the rules here not some dimwit from Booooston.

Unlike you, I don't need VJ to boast. People here see you for what you are. A blowhard.

I'd rather boast than live in paranoid secrecy. Especially considering that rubbish you post about a "high profile case". ####### is that?

To be honest that kind of creeped me out a bit.

In the "Holy ####### they're invading America" kind of creepy.
