Wal-Mart

alex-likes-running wrote:whats penn and teller?

Only the best TV show ever. It's actually called Penn and Teller: Bullshit. They have some clips on youtube, check it out. Basically they go around exposing bullshit. It's really (REALLY) funny, but they are really smart guys. I agree with them on pretty much everything.

Here's the type of stuff they talk about

everything WM does sucks. they treat employees badly, buy from sweatshops, in addition to what FK said.

lol! not that you do that of course....

my town basically is a giant farm with a town at the center

lol, hillbilly.

Well I don't usually go to Wal-Mart but, I will join Wal-marts side to make a debate. Just remember Wal-Mart once was a small local thing that was probably, trying to get bought out by other big chains. It came out and gave lower prices to people in need. You people say that Omg there are hicks there well your a pretty much being racist to people in poverty. They can't shop at The nike store or American Eagle. They find a cheap place to get there clothes,food etc. things. Local Farms have higher prices and people who live in the ghetto don't care if it's freshly picked or two days old. I live right by the ghetto I have gone to a ghetto school. You people are hypocritical and stupid.

So your saying you straight up from the hood, homie?

I'm not sure if Wal-Mart was ever small. It's owned by the Walton family and they have a million companies, only one of which was ever small and the rest were made big with the help of previous money.

That sums up the show I was talking about on the previous page. Agree 100%.

hahaha that was funny.

its the truth

Wal-Mart was created by Sam Walton who was not a very wealthy man. He got a loan of 20,000 dollars from his Uncle and started a small shop in a town of 3,000. It expanded and became a huge thing. Humana isn't even a city I just made it up.

Well then all the other stuff like Walgreens was never small.

Yeah that was the point I was making.

And yet, they are going out of business. Clearly the advantages aren't so great, now are they. Affordable food is something all you liberals should be buying into, not trying to put down. Saying you don't think Walmart is ethical is like saying you don't think low income housing is ethical.

OR SOMETHING.

I'm not saying it's unethical, I just don't like it.

honestly i don't know enough about it to say anything and frankly i don't really care about it. i just don't usually go there because i like healthy food and they don't have any.
