Walmart is evil, and other rants about big business.....

Post Reply New Topic

I'm too ignorent about economics in general to place judgement over walmart. However, i have no true morals, i just do whatever i can get away with (and sometimes you can get away with some truely selfish and cruel s**t because nobody really understands the implications of their actions) so in the case that walmart is somehow evil in a way that society supports, i find that amusing.

Thank you, psych and SB2 for the info.

I don't think you need to view boycotting Walmart as a moral issue and then use the excuse that you're not moral. It's an issue of responsibility and civic duty. I've just taken a college history class and seen the value and danger of capitalism. Unrestrained immoral capitalism is negetive and a deterent to freedom. But capitalism with a civic responsibility is what makes America great. You can study this in the history of America and it bears out pretty easily.

It really is true, what the Forefathers said; American democracy will only work for a moral people.
If America fails, it will be because her people became immoral and complacent.
(Don't get all puffed up, I'm not talking religion, I'm talking about responsibility to your self and your fellow man)

(No, I'm not answering my own post!)

Sorry, I forgot to add something.

I know that Walmart is THE cheapest store there is. And believe me, I'm poor! I could qualify for gov't. benefits. I have six children and we live on only my husbands income which is about barely enough for a family of four. BUT, I am very stubborn and I will not shop Walmart anymore. I will search out bargains elsewhere, or pay more and do without some things. I feel very strongly about these things. I do not want to support something that is a detriment to our nation and our neighborhoods, which I believe Walmart is, and be a part of the problem, just for the sake of saving a few dollars. I would encourage everyone to investigate this a little and give it some serious consideration. A non-chalant attitude is not going to benefit anyone here; except Walmart.

Thank you for your patience.

WAHAHAHHAAHAH that is brilliant!! wahahahaah!

All of my friends at college love Wal-Mart. I really try to avoid going there when I need something, but seeing as I have no car, I end up going to Wal-Mart. I really don't like going there for a number of reasons. When I go back home, my mom and I shop elsewhere, because like me, she too hates Wal-Mart.

There is no wal-mart where I live at, but whenever I visit my parents and they go to wallyworld I feel like a rat in giant cage.

Wal-Mart works because no matter how much damage they do to business, or people and environment people dont see it. They only see the cheap low prices dangling in front of them. Its a fact that most people will always choose instant-gratification.

Sophist,
I am wondering...
Knowing what you stated about media mind control; Does the same apply to you?

is it unavoidable since they have got it down to such a science or, do we actually have free will of the mind?

You must remember it is the business to make money that said, Yes some go to far to make money by doing what they do. Wal-Mart and Pharmaceutical Companies and ones like them have gone to far trying to save money to make more money. Our Society today has allowed this to happen it does matter or not if We like it in the end but in the end it does. Society will need to change its spots or We will be going down the slippery path for sure. Change has to come from within itself and when it will what to change then it will. It is a matter of WILL nothing more or less than that in the end. If majority what cheap goods and service that is what they get in the end. If You want goods and services that work then that is what You need to buy then. If Wal-Mart keeps selling such cheap goods and they don't work or are so cheaply made that everybody has to bring them back then Wal-Mart then will not make any money in the end. For it needs to make it goods that sells work not the other way around. It is up to Us to decide what We want not the other way around. Many have gotten used to the Wal-Mart ways for sure. It in the end will have to be that Wal-Mart will want to change in the end not the other way around. The only way Wal-Mart will change is when it sees that what it is doing in the end is not working in the end. Only then will Wal-Mart change.

As long We (Society) allow our Governments and Companies do the things they do it will not matter at all in the end. When Companies just see the bottom line only and just make that the only Economic System. We (Society) will have to change this in the end if We (Society) will benefit form the Economic System We (Society) have allowed in the end.

You needed to read what I wrote between the lines so to speak.
