What, did you get a new prescription of Viagra?

“...the Scourge of the Earth! “

Hill Billy : Nobody really buys that “Live Better” crap from Walmart.  On the
other hand, “Walmart: The Scourge of the Earth,” is kind of catchy, don’t you think?

“The contest is not over, the strife is not ended. It has only entered upon a new and enlarged arena.” Jefferson Davis, address to the Mississippi legislature - 16 years after the wars end.

WalMart- Modern American economic slavery and the poverty cycle to keep entrapped an impoverished workforce, is worth fighting for. The Chinese Communist Party thanks again the Bentonville ‘love of money’ psychopaths for their complete indifference to the John Birch Society and WalMart’s export of American manufacturing jobs to Red China. Comparative advantage while screwing your fellow American, Sam Walton style.

The Walton clan has been referred to as Hill Billionaires.

For Mother’s Day I’m taking the old lady to Wal-Mart to buy a new tank top, then I’ll buy her dinner at McDonalds and we’ll finish up drinking beer at a NASCAR race. It don’t get no better than that!

As a “mis-placed” Yankee, I believe that all historical
land marks should be preserved.

I understand that Robert E. Lee was the smartest
person to ever graduate from West Point. Some-
thing of that legacy should also be preserved.

who the hell cares?

As a “mis-placed” Yankee...

Seems there’s a lot of that going-on at WMW

In addition to yourself, Kenbo and SVD come to mind…

...a lot of that going-on...

Your point?

Live Better In Cheap Underwear

I don’t have a point, never have and never will.

I don’t have a point, never have and never will.

You know they are getting desperate when all they have left in their arsenal is to resort to hijacking user names…

Your point?

As for you, my narrow-minded nemesis, my point is there are some of you out there who cringe at the fact that it was a Midwestern firm (WM) who made it big—I’m guessing you would’ve rather seen something more NYC-esque?

...more NYC-esque?

Back off of the bong, bbrd. You’ve had enough.

The only thing Wal-Mart originating in Arkansas means to me is Sam learned how to exploit poor people early on. Not that his efforts hold a candle to the current bunch.

bbrd,

“ some of you out there who cringe at the fact that it was a Midwestern firm (WM) who made it big”

And, even more so, that that Midwestern Firm came from the ‘backward’ state of Arkansas!!  It’s strange, how people from the North and Big cities, think everyone in the South or small cities, are nothing more than ‘Bumpkins’!!  It really hurts their egos, to see someone from a Southern Midwest, small town, who was ‘smarter’ than they are!!  And, it’s even worse, when they see that more than ONE Firm from that area, made it big!!  Therefore, they have to scream, cry and whine, that the Firms, must have done something WRONG to attain their success!!

Ken V,

“Sam learned how to exploit poor people early on”

To say that, infers that everybody who shops or works at Wal-Mart are of little intelligence and don’t know what they are doing!!  You say EXPLOIT, they say, ‘Made our lives more affordable’!!  If your head gets any ‘bigger’ it may just explode!!

Sam learned how to exploit poor people early on...

There is ample evidence of that claim in Sam’s own words in his autobiography Made in America.

...infers that...

You might want to look into the difference between ‘infer’ and ‘imply’ before you try to use it again.

Ken V,

“Sam learned how to exploit poor people early on…

There is ample evidence of that claim in Sam’s own words in his autobiography Made in America.”

Only using your twisted view of things!!  Point out, where Sam ever said he EXPLOITED people!!

“You might want to look into the difference between ‘infer’ and ‘imply’ before you try to use it again.”

I know exactly what I mean, maybe you should consult a dictionary, before telling people what words they should use!!

RDS YOU POMPOUS NUMBSKULL!

Don’t try to lecture us about the difference between “imply” and “infer.”
This is far beyond your 3rd grade comprehension skills.

SDV has pointed out numerous examples of how Sam Walton used or took
advantage of people.  Many of used the IMPLICATIONS of Sam’s words to
INFER that he was EXPLOITING people.

You can’t teach an old dog anything, Screwed. We should be ashamed for trying.

quality fade: the deliberate and secret habit of widening profit margins through a reduction in the quality of materials.

Screwedby,

“Don’t try to lecture us about the difference between “imply” and “infer.” “

It was Kenbo who brought it up, but because YOU are too ignorant to check it out for yourself, here it is from Websters:

Imply verb 1 To involve or intimate (a meaning not expressed);to contain by logical inference.

Infer verb 1 To deduce or accept on the basis of evidence; conclude; draw inferences. 3. To involve or imply as a consequence.

Notice how the definition of Imply, includes Inference and the deifinition of Infer, includes Imply!!  In both cases, you are trying to express a concept based on your conclusions!! 

And, you claim to have gone to college?  You should have went to LESS beer parties and studied more!!

Ken V,

“You can’t teach an old dog anything”

You are right, if what you are trying to teach, is how to be ignorant!!

We Virginians take our heritage very seriously.  It may be permissible in other states or places with little or no history but Wal Mart isn’t about to erect another eye sore uncontested, especially this one.

To say that, infers that everybody....

What I ‘say’ doesn’t infer anything. It may imply that everybody..etc. When you ‘hear’ what I ‘say’ you may infer from what you ‘hear’.

You’re in over your head, RDS.

The Walton brothers took the idea of self-service from the Ben Franklin chain, employee stock ownership from J.C. Penney, bulk discounts from Price Club (now Costco), and the supercenter from France’s Carrefour markets.

Ken V,

“When you ‘hear’ what I ‘say’ you may infer from what you ‘hear’.”

As we are on the internet, I can’t ‘Hear’ anything you say!!  But, if it makes you feel better, I will infer, what you imply!!

“The Walton brothers took the idea of self-service from the Ben Franklin chain, employee stock ownership from J.C. Penney, bulk discounts from Price Club (now Costco), and the supercenter from France’s Carrefour markets.”

So, they did what most successful people do and combined the ‘best’ ideas that were being done and created a successful business by doing it!!  What’s wrong with that?  None of those ideas were registered or copyrighted, were they?

“As we are on the internet, I can’t ‘Hear’ anything you say!!” --RDS

How do you deal with that kind of logic, Ken?  A rock would have understood
you sooner.

What you don’t seem to understand is that a rock is one hell of a lot smarter than Bob!

“You know they are getting desperate when all they have left in their arsenal is to resort to hijacking user names"…bbrd

BWAH-HA-HA!!!!!!!!

Incidentally, does anyone remember the Harper Lee novel ,"To Kill A Mockingbird”?

Takes place in the South,and its about economic and racial injustice in the 30’s.

A very young,unknown actor named Robert Duvall played Boo Radley ,the unlikely hero in the movie,starring Greory Peck,back in the ‘60’s.

Perhaps Duvall can be an unexpected hero,once again, in this current,real life drama.

I can’t ‘Hear’ anything you say!!

Then why did you type this?

To say* that, infers that everybody....

Time for a couple of ginseng tablets and a nap, RDS. You’re tripping all over yourself.

*emphasis mine.

There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse, and sell a little more cheaply. The person who buys on price alone is this man’s lawful prey. ~ John Ruskin

Screwedby,

“A rock would have understood you sooner.”

And, as you understood it sooner, you must have the IQ of a rock!!

Ken V,

“When you ‘hear’ what I ‘say’ you may infer from what you ‘hear’.”

Just because you SAY something, doesn’t mean that I HEARD it!!  Here, I have to READ what you have typed!!

If you want to get into semantics, all it does, is to detract from the topic!!  Because I can nit-pic at what you write as well!!  Besides, when you do that, it gets Screwedby started agreeing with you and he starts to think he is ‘smart’ too!!

SDV has pointed out numerous examples...

In-between “hits”, of course!

BWAH-HA-HA!!!!!!!!

I’m sure Ken is quite proud of you, my dear...whoever you really are…

For you Duvall fans I highly recommend the ‘02 indie film Assasination Tango.

I’ll say this for you, Dee Dee. When you burn’em, they stay burned.

‘’Living near a Wal-Mart would cheapen the neighborhood.’’ ~ Carl Lanke

That should be Assassination.. four s’s.

Patrick Graham, was one of two victims who were shot to death in a Wal-Mart parking lot on Aug. 22, 2005 in Glendale, Ariz.

“you must have the IQ of a rock!!”

How does that change the fact that you’re dumber than a rock,
RDS?

“...all it does, is to detract from the topic!!”

That pretty well sums up your existence on this blog, RDS!

Truth is he was not even the smartest in his class.  However the easiest way to settle this is to put the land on the National Historic Registry.  If this happens then the National Parks Service has to upkeep the area, and nobodycan build or develop the area.
