im tired of these "why i dont do _____" threads.

who are you? why are you important?

how does you not shopping at Walmart effect me?

seriously why are you important enough to influence anyones decision?

So you're saying you wont shop in Walmart because it is populated by a class of unrefined, usually poor, redneck, white trash, dregs of society?
Well, I shop in walmart every so often, and lemme tell you, come summer time, when the rednecks start wearing very little clothes while shopping, its like a white trash art gallery. You just walk down the isles appreciating the silly, yet sometimes troubling ink.

You won't go to Walmart because you "look down on people" who shop there.

Wow.

Never mind the store has collapsed tens of thousands of private businesses, systematically destroyed town, after town, after town. Never mind that they are making it impossible for anyone to open/run a store within 20 miles of them without crushing them completely and doing it by design.

Never mind they buy most of their products across seas and do nothing but eat away at the livelihood of anyone trying to compete.

JUST LOOK AT THE PEOPLE WHO SHOP THERE! LOOK HOW BETTER-THEN-THEM-YOU-ARE.

Pssh...I rather eat turkey with those guys under a bridge, then shop anywhere near where you waste your life being a proto-elitist who mocks people's cloths.

Good job at "trying/failing" to be the very people enslaving us today.

How do you dress? Huh, stud? I bet it is all snazzy! Cosmetics are so nice when you are too busy being inhuman to care.

personally, i am very annoyed by big 'marts' or big supermarkets.
i try to avoid the tescos, sainsbury's and asdas and prefer to go to cornershops and markets, although they might be more expensive. i like having a chat with the owners, who work in their shops for their money, who know me and are friendly and welcoming, rather to drag myself through huge anonymous ailes.
i also dislike the fact, that big companies, such as tesco, sainsbury's and asda crush smaller shops with cheaper (own brand) products, low wages and big scale logistics. i am against fat cats and i am happy, that there's still small mice/ shops.

I think all of you who don't shop at Wal-Mart are just communists.

Thats right, you don't support America or Capatilism if you carry around the attitude towards Wal-Mart that you do.

Wal-Mart is the epitome of the idea of this capitalism. Virtually any and every large corporation in America got that way the same way Wal-Mart did and employed the same practices.

Capatilism is generally about the bottom line and thats usually profit. How do you maximize profit? You put your competitors out of business by offering lower prices and more selection and/or buy out and take over the competition.

How did AT&T become so large? They offered lower prices and bought out the competition. Where's MCI? Southwestern Bell? Mom and pop phone providers? Where are the phones from? Probably China.

The same argument can be applied to Time Warner, Clear Channel and any large corporation in any field.

They all got to where they are by buying cheap products from foreign countries, many move to other countries just to avoid US tax laws but consider themselves an "American company", by putting smaller business out or buying them out, by outsourcing call centers and customer support to India or wherever else, by moving factories to other countries so they can employ cheaper labor and many other ways.

Where are your communist anti American posts, tirades, and organizations devoted to their downfall at?

DISCLAIMER:
While this was generally meant to be sarcastic, there is a great amount of truth in it also.
