A cell in the body that suddenly multiplies out of control beyond whatever it's place is is called cancer. You don't get that at all apparently.

I wonder what kind of feudal lord you'd make in the year 1012.

OK, maybe you've had enough reefer

I see that this icon is called "Darwinism" but I take it you have no problem with social darwinism.

When a body is sick it tries to produce anti-bodies. What is wall - mart an anti-body to?

High prices and limited choices!

 

[One Eyed Jack]

I'm sure it is. but not if your going to eat it a million times.

Of course not. You think that's all I buy?

No, it's time to support OWS.

Why?

 

[ideogenous_mover]

I've had enough of this thread pretty much. fine: accept the status quo. Is this not the attitude of so many sheep?

 

[some other dude]

Why?

Because they're too lazy to support themselves! :banana:

 

[ideogenous_mover]

Of course not. You think that's all I buy?

no I don't think that's all you buy. I'm saying what poor people generally buy is unhealthy cheap food because that's what's getting pushed and it's all they can really afford.

Why?

cause we are sick of all the stuff I've been talking about on this thread and all the stuff you see around you the joblessness etc. etc. the layoffs, less pay for more work. all that. you know exactly why.

 

[ideogenous_mover]

High prices and limited choices!

maybe when I get the inclination I'll give you an economics lesson. it's more than I want to write right now and you wouldn't listen.

 

[One Eyed Jack]

Most of the poor people I know get food stamps, so they're not paying for their food at all. I am.

 

[some other dude]

beans, rice, corn, pasta, bread, cheese, potatoes...

 

[One Eyed Jack]

Beans are awesome. We get all kinds of cool stuff from beans. Coffee, chocolate, vanilla... and those are just great flavors. They've also got all kinds of nutritional value. Isn't God brilliant?

Walmart started in little tiny towns in arkansas, like a 5 and dime store.

They got big because people wanted to shop there.

Fine, then why didn't they just stay there?

The problem with big box stores and other massive chains stores is, among other things, that now people have less opportunity to go into business. all the business has been captured by a few of these Wall St. companies. And yet you Republicans claim to be interested in business. Bosh. And you have to work for some mean, distant, uncaring employer, and customers have to deal with him too. Try asking and getting something you want on the shelf from a big chain and see how far you get. Ask for something of quality and see how far you get too!

There is no Main Street now in Republican America. Only Wall Street. And Wall street cares ONLY about making money and getting rich by screwing everyone else. And you are enabling this by your ignorance.

If i was against a company i wouldn't buy thing from them.

Occupy Wall Street is not against Apple or any company except the rules by which they are allowed to screw people over.

Thats right occupiers want it for free, no chores or anything. Just laze around and get high and talk about how bad they have it since its not given to them on a silver platter.

How many occupiers have told you this?

 

[eameece]

They were there, for the longest time, and their headquarters are still there.

Guess what though, if you dont like wal mart, you dont have to shop there. Amazing how that works isnt it.

It's NOT amazing, because it DOESN'T work.

hey now. History lesson time. It is the 1770's: you don't have to buy the king's tea, but it's everywhere on the market and they undercut the native growers.

It's funny how many people on this board failed history class.

 

[eameece]

Oh please, there are loads of competitors to wal mart. Good for them that they made out so well. They started in buildings on little main streets that were less than the size of a dollar store now.

Nothing wrong with hard work and growing a business.

You can't grow a business when one weed takes over and strangles the market and pushes everyone else out.

 

[eameece]

Dude, what's stopping you from starting your own store and paying your employees whatever you want? I know, why not pay them whatever they ask for? Wouldn't that be the fairest way to handle it? And let them decide how many hours they wanted to work, or whether or not to come in if they didn't want to?

What's stopping you?

Oh here goes Barney again with his individual responsibility rap. It's best to ignore his tired blather.

 

[eameece]

Wal mart was a tiny little single store to start with, everyone else has the same chance.

Noone else had the same greed.
