That's the point, isn't it. Precisely because they are fools that we laugh at them. And it's only a very slender thread that separates us fortunate folks from fooldom. That's where the humor lies.

I have met you in person, and I suspect that those Walmart people have about a 50 point advantage in the I.Q. area.

Those pics are sad, one of the many reasons I avoid that dump. Way too depressing.

If you stay away from there because of the people, that's pretty shallow, man.

I say away from there due to the fact that all they sell is cheap crap at cheap prices. I remember when WalMart sold nothing but American made products. If it were still that way today, the American manufacturing sector would be in better shape than it is now.

Shallow and what I like to call mental self-preservation (self care). I work with mentally ill people all day long, I don't need it in my personal life. I also do volunteer work in prisons and jails, lotsa schizophrenic folks locked-up.

Yeah cheap crap too. I try to spend my money at locally owned businesses.

I've gotten a lot of very inexpensive oil and very decent and low priced stanley tools there at 11 at night, or 5 in the morning. Good place to buy quality synthetic 5w-40 honestly. There's a reason that company is so huge, can be darn convenient

Plus the fact that they buy in bilk, so they have the ability to force suppliers to "dumb down" the product so that they can sell it cheaper. Their electronics are not the same product you buy at Best Buy, or other places. All of their televisions look just like what you can buy elsewhere, but they are made with cheaper parts and to lower standards.

It's a company that has preyed on the poor. They know that Americans view wealth by what they have in their home, not their bank account. Because of this, they sell the cheapest crap they can to those that can barely afford it. Their furniture is cheap pressed wood, their tires are made cheaper (even the big name brand tires), everything about them screams cheap.

They have become the greatest threat to American made products.

You couldn't pay me to shop there anymore. I used to go in only for the produce, now I deal directly with local farms and locally grown foods.

It's one of the many things I do to try to insure that there's a future in this country for my children and grand children.
