not me personally, but the store in my area had rejected the vets and family members wanting to set up a stand by their store for a donation drive to send troops supplies and what not.http://http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl-target-veterans.htm
though this may not be a corporate thing it is all done store by store. The real question is who do you want to believe. I know that I will continue my boycott until I see at the very least a toy's for tots donation drop off point at the store come the holiday season.
Did you even read the entire article?

So wait.... what your saying in all of this is that you donot want walmart to give the little people the chance to buy stuff cheaper than what the other stores want to mark up... and your mad that walmart has nyone by the balls even though that helps me and my 3 kids... hmm...

These companies that you say walmart has by the balls are rich... I mean they are mad because they cannot charge an extra dollar here and there... aww man we only made 300 million this year... we need to make 600 million next... of course im not talking about the mom and pop stores... and dont tell me that they put them out of business.... if it does put them out of business is because they donot evolve to the market needs...


go tell your uncle bob to close down his fish and pickle store and start selling what the public wants... maybe a local hydro shop???

think about it... the little guy has to open things that the little guy that drives by wants... thats why the middle eastern people come here and flurish.... those fuc..people come here and get a little 50,000 dallar loan with there 2 brothers/or inlaws... and open up what... a liquor store... cause we want to drink .. and buy ice.. and chips... hes not going to put clothes in there.. hes gonna put condoms..... so stop bitching at the only store that doesnt mind making 10 million less so you and me can save 100 to 300 a month at home... :joint::peace:

and if you work at walmart... dont bitch about minimum wage to walmart .. bitch to the guy that sets the minimum wage.
Go to school... that job should be for old people or poeple that cant speak english.... i mean you live in america ... get and education...

this is what Im talking about-guys fucking hooked because hes got kids to feed. As long as wal-mart flourishes under these conditions and making people think that all thier products come from a magic hole in the ground and theres no repurcussions to all your stupid discount prices think again.
the wal-mart effect is only beginning.
The masses have made thier dicision though-wal-mart is here to stay. (same thing with the aberhamic religions and communism)
Shit-just imagine all the public relations bull shit that they can afford that make people think that wal-mart lasts forever and is an icon of progress so people dont ever suspect that shopping at wal-mart could be...possibly baad, mm'kay.

but for real, I thought there would be more people here at riu that would know about the wal-mart effect or at least have the common sence to question where the fuck are these low prices come from?

Here's something to bring us together... how about instead of spending all our cash buying stuff at walmart, we just stop buying? You need weed, so you grow it, right? Grow your own food too! and you don't need expensive potting soil, nutrient and fertilizers. Just the sun, the earth, and rain!
And all this walmart stuff will blow over in twenty years when China and India are the superpowers of the world. We'll be begging for $5.75 an hour. Walmart is a symptom of America's many problems. And we're all to blame. We need to stop spending our money on junk food, and buying our kids toys that they forget about in a week. I personally don't go to walmart because it is an extra 5 miles, the lines are long, and if I need help with something, no one there will help me.

And those who get annoyed when people complain, a big fuck you. How do you think this country was founded? That's right, a bunch of smart fuckers sitting around and complaining. But at the pub instead of on the internet. And don't look to politicians to fix things anymore. We have to build momentum up one person at a time if we want to fix anything, let alone walmart.

It is a goddam shame that people starve to death every day in this country, and in this world. People who take a job at Walmart DON'T have a choice. But if you look at all the wealth in the US, we could afford to give everyone health care. If you don't like the idea of starving to death, or your momma starving to death or your children starving to death, then you need to ask yourself why is it okay to let your neighbor starve to death? I don't believe anyone wants to watch other people die, I just believe that people don't think they have the power to make a difference. They do, and YOU do. I'm not smart enough to figure out an answer to these problems, but I'm smart enough to know not to accept it and say there is no point. Don't get pissed at people who are just trying to do what they think is best for everyone. Peace.

I just dont understand why all of this happens to be walmarts fault.

All of those points are valid and just.. however.. regardless if walmart was there or not... your local Small shop... all they do is the same... its not like this guy is trying to bitch about import products... Which that is the main point... ace hardware also gets shit from china... its not like walmart went over there bomb the shit out of them and then rebuilt there shit for them 100 times better than what they had....plus open major trades with them... come on guys... this is not walmart... this is just the economy

Its another form of slavery what is going on... except this time... we just go get our goods from some country that doesnt have good child laws (child sweatshops).. and good minimum wage and do business with them....
remember that.... those same "Awsome" forefathers of ours also ensured that there would be freedom of business.... So who is to tell anyone if they get some boats... go to another country .. and get the shit that we desire/need/grown accustomed to... whatever you want to call it...and bring it to our doorsteps...

What this guy is mad about is that once it gets here.... he wants to be the one to get those same "products" and mark them up himself. hes not bitching about the factories = job=economy... hes complaining about 1 family that owns a small shop ... and wants to buy china made shit and sell it to us fat americans ... but they dont want to buy the boat.. or learn chinese.. or go get it... wow... what a warm hearted person you are...:peace::joint:

genfranco, you are on your way to fascisim. You are a wal-mart patriot (and jingoist)!
You remind me of the brainwashed chinese.
Oh, and they love wal-mart too! and at the same time theyre government has proclaimed that a certain nobel peace prize winning lauriate (HH Dalai Lama) who has been a beakon of inspiration, human rights and peace to a billion people all over the world compares him to Osama Bin laden. They say he is a terrorist a man with teh face of a human and the heart of an animal, among other things. If you dont believe me go on you tube and look at all the videos from chinese people hate him.
It is indeed amazing what a government or pr people can make people believe.

Wal-mart rules.......they have great deals...i love Wal-mart......shop there at least once a week..........i get the same stuff that is available at other stores at a fraction of the cost...like my new flat screen....i got it with a 3 year warranty and the same tv was $300 more at circuit city with no warranty.......now who is the ass hole?

people go work at Wal-mart for the shitty wages...and except them..that's not Wal-marts fault....they are not out herding up slaves and forcing them to go to work or anything....Wal-mart has become what it is because we made it that way..and because so many people love to shop there...like me...nothing wrong with that...

I go there to see the true faces of America. What other stores can you come across white trailer trash, 14 yr old baby mamas, evangelical Christians,illegal immigrants, pedophiles, "The Wal-Mart rapist ( who was on the news a couple of weeks ago) all in the same building?

Cute dog there Skee08... I miss my dogs, boy were they the coolest ever... Especially when you're high, they do some of the most humorous things ever. I think they can sense the smell and they get high too...

I always knew Wal-Mart was foul, now I have some more specifics on the matter. Thank you very much!!
I like your name:mrgreen: And yes Wal-Mart is evil so is are a lot of things. Most of the congress and other politicians. FDA and the drug company's and a lot of corporations. They have a lot of America by the balls and most americans just say Bah. The tail wags the dog in this country. IF you think about the way your tax dollars are spent it would drive you nuts. So dont think about it and just get stonedbongsmilie
