Why are there fifty threads about a store we supposedly hate...
...floating around in GD? Are we giving them free advertising now, too?

I do have to say, though, that I am impressed with the shitting-on-the-floor poll. We need more quality discussion like this on a regular basis.

8. I didn't endanger any lives, either.
But thanks for implying that I am somehow like a fascist asshole. I really appreciate that.

18. Nooooo!!!
I would never imply that, hell no.

I thought it was a good joke. Meant to humor you, not offend you!

Sorry bout that :hi:

4. Jimmy Carter is there?
Is it true that Jimmy Carter is signing books in Walmart today? I read that he was in Milwaukie at a local Walmart.

Terri Schiavo's parents buy a gun at Wal-mart to kill Michael Schiavo. We would have 200 threads about the Schiavo's and Wal-Mart combined. :banghead:

10. I've been wondering the same thing!
I even forget now the reason for it (the cart action) in the first place.

Actually, right now I am a bit happier with WalMart and the Happy Holidays thing. They caved some, but I remember one post last year where a DUer at work was forced to say Merry Christmas to a customer who must be one of Bill O'liely's "take back christmas" viewers. That thread haunted me for months.

17. I'm all for floor-shitting.
I'm just not a fan of endless conversation surrounding a vile corporate interest. I can't hide the threads fast enough, there are so many.

The elephant poop in the corner of the room is:

All those threads about the vile corporate interest could be organizing consumer power instead of consuming organizing power....................
