Danged evil Wal-Mart!

**sputter! fume!**

AGH!

Get them off my gaming site!

I patterned my latest ruins off Teotihuacan!

Obviously this is disgraceful but people should not fume about Wal-mart themselves. It is the Mexican government that has sold the land off and is intending to sell more off for financial gain.

Walmart is the source of all things cheap...

That and I work there.
Not the one in Mexio... just a walmart in general..

In Iowa actually...

"This is a classic case of modern corporate greed against the traditional cultural values of a society," said Al Norman, a U.S. author and activist who has taken on Wal-Mart Stores Inc . . "American tourists can go from the monuments to the Wal-Mart store and buy a rubber pyramid, made in Beijing."

It has been a long time since we know corporations don't care for anything but their money, and certainly don't respect you. Do someone remembers that a few years ago Coca Cola wanted to paint a mile long advertising on some mountain of India? Nonetheless, I am still drinking Coca Cola at times (but only when I can get it for free ), despite it's obviously bad for health and helps becoming obese. I wonder if I will stop buying anything at Amazon.com when they decide to employ slaves in China or build a new facility on Stonehenge site...

I hate wal-mart. More specifically because I hate large corporations, and because wal-mart hypocritically censors cds, but sells uncensored dvds, won't carry cosmo but sell mad loads of liquor and tobacco. When I lived in Oklahoma, I had to shop there, but now I make it a point not to. Oh, and they treat their employees like crap too.

Bah! It's a zigeraut, no?

Last time we had a Wal-Mart discussion it devolved into very nasty arguments and got closed. I think we'll cut to the chase.

Klunk-a-lunk-a-ding-dong.
