It is sad, isnt it.

sissifytoserve -> RE: Walmart Will No Longer Have Layaways (9/23/2006 12:35:45 PM)
Thats why i refuse to shop there. Wal-Mart built their store RIGHT OVER what was once a family nursery/arboretum in my town. I thought that was telling enough. Seeing how much asphalt replaced that. Thay are a predatory, destructive corporation with ties to big politicians.

cuddleheart50 -> RE: Walmart Will No Longer Have Layaways (9/23/2006 12:39:56 PM)
I'm sure thats true, not aruging with you there.

SirKenin -> RE: Walmart Will No Longer Have Layaways (9/23/2006 12:40:12 PM)
Show Me a corporation that does not have ties to big politicians (and do you know any little politicians?) What is your point.

sissifytoserve -> RE: Walmart Will No Longer Have Layaways (9/23/2006 12:41:55 PM)
Oh...no point intended...unless you approve of slave labor, Union busting and squeezing out small businesses by force. But your forum profile says it all I think. "Hi, I don't care" If you are so against communism...WHY shop there? That IS what political ideology where 95% of the goods in that store come from.

fast reply I never really used Wal-mart layaway. I don't go there much at all...I prefer Dollar General or Dollar Tree stores. For clothes....Half of Half , but they are only in a few states or classiccloseouts.com, they rock. Oh, you all make me feel like a commerical Christmas whore...My family is known for having so many gifts in the house on Christmas that you can't even walk though it.....it's called being spoiled and going overboard. We throw down on the food as well....I flove it! My season for giving is Halloween. Thanksgiving is for the family and Christmas is the season for getting mine. [:D] Kidding....well sorta. Kat...who will think more about Christmas after Thanksgiving.

I'm not much for knitted items, but someone once made me a burgundy colored throw by hand and it's perfect for cold legs on the sofa and now a favorite item in my home. And I can't use it without remembering the kindness of the person who gave it to me. When not in use it looks nice on the back of the sofa as a kind of decoration for the sofa. It can also be folded and used as a further support under a side sofa pillow.

Communist actually. It was, after all, the communists that rejected capitalism and private ownership and promoted the idea of common ownership. Wal-mart is the epitomy of capitalist thinking. They are the complete antithesis of communism. Only the strong survive. And you will be happy to know I shopped there today. I bought a lasagna, four cans of ravioli and a plunger. I fed a Chinese family of four for days. To Me it is not about supporting foreign politics. That computer you are typing on? You guessed it. Communist. Most parts are made in China. So you can drop the holier than thou attitude any time, you hypocrite. [;)] Your socialist tendencies are obvious. We witnessed them in the 9/11 thread. Actually, you are one of the people I refer to as a left-wing extremist.

Interesting. You are an anarchist then. Well, to each his own I suppose. I can understand your opposition to war in that context. However, one libertarian philosophy is to support deregulation and free trade, believing that people should be able to buy, trade, sell, grow businesses whatever with no interference from the government. It sounds like you want your cake and eat it too.

sissifytoserve -> RE: Walmart Will No Longer Have Layaways (9/23/2006 3:22:29 PM)
Not when it exploits and enslaves people to their corporate masters or governments...no. Not an anarchist. Anarchism is not possible in a large, complex society. Can you read?

Gosh darn it, the mother in me wants to put all you boys in the corner, and then come out shaking hands. Now, stop this!! This is about layaways for heavens sake!!!!!

quote: ORIGINAL: RosaB quote: ORIGINAL: cuddleheart50 http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/retail/2006-09-14-wal-mart_x.htm Well, there goes my Christmas. DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! There goes my holiday season too. I had planned to put me a nice little subbie on layaway. On a serious note, I would be much more thrilled to be presented with a homemade batch of goodies backed by a thoughtful friend than some generic gift based in pleasing me for its dollar wow value. Only time I might take exception is if someone brings me a fruit cake; that person wood instantly go on my chit list. So people, unless you know someone absolutely loves fruit cake, don't do it, don't you dare ever give anyone a fruit cake, unless you hate or at least have a strong dislike for them. I hope I didn't just curse myself. Well no one here has my mailing address, I think I'm relatively safe. [:D] Rosa Actually, I've had the pleasure of having a couple of wonderful, home made fruitcakes that were absolutely scrumptious! I seem to recall the fruit and nuts being rum-soaked too. Hmm... could that have anything to do with it? But anyway... I agree that most store-bought fruitcakes leave a lot to be desired.

Sorry. Didn't mean to hijack your thread or turn it into a political debate or a flame fest. Just wanted to add a different perspective.

And only a fool aids and abets his political enemies by giving them his cash. Occasionally you have to think things through beyond your next meal of canned crap. I do not give a shit if Wal-mart imports goods from China. I do not care if Wal-mart builds in a vacant lot and shuts down businesses that are not in a position to be a viable contender. Do you think Sears cares? I do not see them going out of business. Or K-mart. Or Walgreens. Or any of the bazillion computer stores we have around here. Or Future Shop. Or Best Buy. Or Circuit City. Or Zellers. You are one of the other left-wing extremists I was referring to. If you are not going to aid and abet your "enemies", then I guess the only place left for you to shop is the food bank and the Salvation Army. I do not side with the left. I do not side with the right. I take a moderate middle ground and I just go about My business. What I do NOT like, though, is when people do not have their facts straight and post unsubstantiated rubbish to try and rally support for their position. That irritates the hell out of Me. It is not so much a person's political leanings that bother Me. It is the lack of facts that makes it clear that they do not have a sufficient knowledge of what they are talking about to support their position. I would rather buy a can of ravioli from a capitalist conglomerate than put up with that crap.

Can you read? Well, do not buy another part for your computer. Do not buy any more clothes either. Be careful what food you buy. It is impossible to support your position without being a hypocrite. Anyways, I also forgot to tell you that your ideologies also fall well within the definitions of left-wing extremism. Libertarians can also be classified as anarchists.

Every post in this thread I have written is FACTUAL and substantiated. THAT is WHY it ruffles your feathers IMHO. Go eat your canned ravioli from Wal-Mart.
