You most certainly DO NOT have to be a communist to hate Wal-Mart. People with a conscience hate Wal Mart, too. I'm not a big fan even though I like their bargain bin DVD sections simply because they do mistreat their employees. Hence why there are so many outstanding lawsuits against Wal Mart for employee mistreatment.

Plus they bully their suppliers into submission by offering them such immense distribution deals that would help get their name out, but they are then forced to drop their prices to whatever Wal Mart dictates. They get more exposure but lose money. It's a "damned if you do; damned if you don't" situation. For example, Vlassic pickles was about to go under recently. So they sought out Wal Mart to help them out. Wal Mart forced them to start packaging their pickles in big gallon jugs instead of the traditional smaller jars that Vlassic always sold them in. Wal Mart would then sell these jugs for $2.99 each. When all was said and done, Vlassic made only 3 cents per jar of pickles sold. Some deal, eh?

Wal Mart has killed the old style of doing business in the US. So many thousands of mom-and-pop and specialty stores have closed their doors because they just cannot compete with Wal Mart. I have several friends who either have closed their stores or are about to because of Wal Marts coming into their areas and just killing them.

Read any marketing book for examples of why Wal Mart is both genius and tyrant in the business world. Don't just assume that low prices are better.


that is why I never ever buy anything at Wallmart. not even so much as a stick of chewing gum. They will not get a penny out of me. I encourage everyone else to do the same.

this happened in 1776 as well. At the end as the founding fathers are signing the Declaration Of Independence, in order to get all of them into the final shot of the movie in full screen, they make them look very tall and thin. They look as though they were walking on stilts! Now, I don't know about you, but I don't believe the founding fathers were walking on stilts as they signed the Declaration Of Independence.

other movies that look terrible in full screen

Benhur. (the Heston version)
The Music Man.
A League Of Their Own.
The Greatest Story Ever Told.
Planet Of The Apes
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

and there are many others.

but I was not talking about playing any sport with the clone's head(which is still attached to his body) I am talking about playing basketball with your head which was detached by the alarm clock robot.

who's more delusional? one who believe's he can stop someone who is using a light Kitana with gun or someone who thinks he can use a light kitana like a Jedi uses a light saber?

I hate to be the one to tell you Chaltab, you're no jedi. Therefor stopping you and your light kitana with a gun is easy.


But it doesn't matter now since you have no arms to use a light kitana.

Bossk, can we go out and play basketball with Chaltab's head?
