Canadian hicks aren't as bad as American southerner hicks so our Walmarts aren't quite that bad, but I agree wholeheartedly about Walmart catering to the lowest common denominator.Quote:

Wait - so this is all taking place in a town called Nitro, and the jerk manager is named Mr. Knuckles? This is an awesome action movie waiting to happen.
As for this thread...why are there people arguing for three pages about this? Is this not an asinine thing to do? Would you not be furious if your workplace did this to you? Yes, and yes. Saying "LOL well it doesn't matter Walmart is not the only company they can just work somewhere else" doesn't get Walmart off the hook for being dickheads, it just ensures the same thing will happen elsewhere.
And for God's sake, Def Leppard is awful. Let's get let's get let's get let's get ROCKED! *shudder*

That is my joke, please stop telling it.Quote:

It came off as taking a moral high ground, and after saying what you said, it looked totally ridiculous from here, like, "How dare you!!" You deserved much more antagonism than I provided. Chaulk it up to my self-censoring of what I really think to avoid bannage. But you know, you're right. We do need less pansies in the world. How 'bout we start with the ones that are fixated on Walmart?Quote:

Of course, I was going for the pejorative usage of Nazi, not so much for the accuracy. If I joined the choir here and said Bush/GOP are Nazis, I doubt I'd have met much resistance to that as inaccurate. Anyhow, the Nazi label I attach to the fanatical, obsessive, anti-Walmart zealots and since you were advocating terrorism against them (albeit jokingly, but you know, the strong hatred that motivated you to say that is there), you fell under that net certainly. But even without the terrorism advocacy, that's what I use if I feel the circumstances warrant it. Like "anti-smoking" Nazis or FeminiNazi. That's all, no real need to split hairs over this.Quote:
Technical note- You wanted to call me an anti-WalMart Anarchist, they're the ones who like to blow stuff up. An anti-WalMart Nazi would drag the employees out of the store in the dead of night and ship them off to the camps, then confiscate all WalMart property in the name of the Fatherland.
My assumption is correct that you would empower the state to impose your/a brand of socialist morality upon Walmart (who, in your view, deem to be evil/amoral/immoral) so that it would behave more to your liking, no? See, that's why I wouldn't have gone with anarchist. Leaving Walmart alone, keeping your views on how it should or shouldn't behave to yourself and abolishing any government regulation is anarchism for the economic sphere. But I guess if in the word's definition you swap "state" with "Walmart," then it would work. Incidentally, I went with "commie-pinko terrorist" in the video that I made which was more in direct response to your terrorism advocacy. ^^ I guess terrorist alone would be safest as then I'm not trying to guess as to the ideology the terrorism is being perpetrated for. Anyway, enough of that.Hm, where to begin. I think this whole organized crusade launched against Walmart, with the non-stop smearing, is utterly insane and fanatic. Let's see, I dunno exactly when Walmart was put on their hit list, but for at least 2 years now I've in some way been bombarded with attacks against them. Attacks with such frequency that I've become quite aggravated with the whole thing. Now, going into this thread, I knew where TNL stands. Figured it'd be another 2 minutes of hate session and I'd be in the minority, but when I read your comments, I thought the insanity reached a new low. I've never seen hate of a company motivate that kind of comment before and I haven't kept tally of these other jokes you speak of.Quote:
You know we've got threads making jokes about the theoretical death of any group you care to mention (often numbering in multi-millions) on these boards, right? Any particular reason WalMart set you off?
Did someone from Walmart kill your dog, or run over your grandma perhaps? If I could understand what's going on inside the mind of the crusader, then I might not have been so quick to snap. But still, from where I'm sitting, Walmart's been getting enough bullshit rhetoric hurled at them (from radio, tv, newspapers, Marxist-tripe propoganda pamphlets from a powerful union which I had the displeasure of reading when it arrived in the mail, various other sources, etc.), and your comment went too far. If you wanna continue on that line, that's fine; it's useful in discrediting your overall cause. True enough, if I hadn't already been aggravated by the ~2 years of Walmart-hate lately and those responsible, I would've ignored you. I wanna spit and step on all of them. With this thread, I've seen it all. "Not only are they a bunch of rotten SOBs, but their stores smell rotten too. Fecal matter smeared everywhere. Yeah, man. To top it off there're rednecks that shop there that would sell their own mothers for a better deal. Yeargh!" I just gotta roll my eyes at all that. Can you blame me for flicking off nearly every comment in here like that and forming a negative broader opinion of the overall anti-Walmart crusade?
To be clear, it's not about loving Walmart so much than is it about hating/protesting the protestor for me. Kmart, Bestbuy, and Target are nearest to me and I go there mostly. I simply hope the freaks that have it in for Walmart fail and continue to fail. With every loss, every setback, I wanna relish in seeing them go more insane. Goddamn pansies.Heh. As soon as I read that, I immediately thought of a scene from Team America (Fuck yeah!) then tried to work some video editing magic. Borrowing James' likeness from here, I thought he'd be perfect for this role - James, Freedom Fighter.avi. Proving to his fellow F.A.G. comrades that he's not a pansy, he's prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice as he embarks on a daring 'martyrdom operation' to stop the war-mongering forces of Team America from starting World War III due to their meddling in N. Korean affairs. Cause freedom from U.S. capitalist imperialist pigs ain't free, you know.Quote:
