Don't Shop at Wal-Mart

“ultimately is a strange term. "Wall street has been a formal institution since the Buttonwood Agreement signed in 1792. It was one of the corners of foundation of this country and is a requirement of any any democracy since. So to say wall street is ultimately self defeating is to say that democracy is ultimately self defeating.”

“How about "ultimately self defecating"?”

“true that”

“Wall Street is not the problem. It is when you turn loose unbridled greed in a deregulated market when things go wrong.”

“I agree with that chili. But things going wrong isn't really the problem. Things go wrong all the time, yet we overcome, make corrections and move on. The problem here is that the wrong people have entered the stock market. People who can't afford to take losses - retirement funds, governments, people living on the edge of their means. In the last 15 years people have acted like teh stock market was a government secured bank deposit. They were sure they wouldn't lose money. After all look at the charts. Even after teh minor corrections that have occured as warning signs people still kept their retirement fund in stocks, Cities still were heavily invested.

To me that's the problem. If you aren't prepared to lose it all don't invest in the stock market. that had always been the rule of thumb.”

“So much environmental degradation can be ascribed to the pursuit of short term gain. So much human degradation as well.

I remember when the Republicans were supposed to be 'The Law & Order Party'. Now they make excuses for the people who almost destroyed the global economy through their own greed.

And they can't understand why they were thrown out of office ----


Watch how they continue to fight against any regulation of Wall Street's activities in the coming months, the very activities that brought us to where we are today.

I wonder if, amongst themselves, Republicans would say the only thing Bernie Madoff did wrong was get caught.”

I whole heartedly concur. That is why I don't even remotely feel sorry for the Madoff victims.”

“The stock market is like our borders. We spend huge amounts on all kinds of laws and agencies, but enforcement never seems to come about. Paying twice for crime is the american dream -good for the cops and the robbers.”

“T*lting at windmills.
LMAO”

Yes I have---right here on Trail Talk. Why?”

“The times I have met him in person, I found him to be both thoughtful and respectful of everyone else who was there.”

“too bad he doesn't have the same persona online”

“So what's your point, chili? Are you saying he misrepresents himself on Trail Talk? Why would he do that?

“I respect people who deserve it.”

“That word.....viable.....I do not think it means what you think it means.”

“What kind of people deserve it and what kind don't?”

I am not sure, but it is probably for much of the same reasons that stovie does.

Prior to these two digressing on TT, I felt Father Goose was the only other TT'er I had met who fell into that category.”

“people that agree with him deserve it, those that don't don't.”

“I've met Hyway and Noncon and they seem to be decent and fairly normal.

How come you guys are such petty bully boys here on TT?

I can understand Stovie being a shjt, but you guys have families and real lives.”

“Thanks for the correction, nc.

Poor little lushO, so innocent.

Hear hear. That applies to every TTer I have met.

Tilt, et al, express alot of dislike for my postage, but would enjoy my presence (as I theirs) an hikes. Yepper - I just know it.”

“I ignore them 90% of the time while they chase around like a pack of rabid chihuahuas spreading crap all over.

Look at the chocolate thread.... the quote thread; it goes on and on.”

“Well I guess I'll take "normal" as a compliment, lol. Ditto!

But....you seem to be missing some names from your petty-bully list, MarkO....”

““I've met Hyway and Noncon and they seem to be decent and fairly normal.

I can understand Stovie being a shjt, but you guys have families and real lives. You just chose to ignore it (or not see it) either because you don't get it aimed at you or maybe you agree with him”

I beg to differ. I can be an #&%!$ in real life, too. In fact many of the things I say here I have said similar things on camping trips. Difference is that in person you can see that I am half joking half serious and mostly just having fun. I don't hate anybody on TT nor do I think they are evil. Tilt expresses those feelings for others all the time.

“That word.....ignore.....I do not think it means what you think it means.” (with a wink to noncomformist)”

“"I don't hate anybody on TT nor do I think they are evil. Tilt expresses those feelings for others all the time."

Just Tilt, huh?

What is this junior high school?”

“...a pak of ratbits and chwawas runnin round doin stinky doodoos ever wher.
~Tltt

That souns like perty good times to me!
(o:3”

“Does MarkO read his own posts or just everyone elses?”

“So let me get this right, in real life tilt is not the same person he is on TT?

"Hi, my name is tilt. I'm not a pretentious kunt but I do play one on the internet..."

Why would I even want to meet someone who is either a pretentious kunt or is a poser?”

“I seem to recall that question often posed by another long lost TTer: Sarge. :(”

“BTW- went to Walmart today and got Permethrin spray for $4. Ain't gonna be no ticks on me this weekend.”

“People who support elective war, polluters and finance industry criminals get no quarter. � Period. � I don't know if they're brainwashed, brain-damaged, evil or what.

Now throw another tantrum.

”

“T*ltypoo wants to kill your grandchildren, and thinks it's a shame there's a law against it.”

“Oh.... and the folks who run MalWart who sell out their fellow Americans for an extra nickel.

Kudos ----

”

“Poor little t*lt is having yet another meltdown.”

“the word tilt is the new sarge. Just the mention of it wrecks threads. Now, in this case people like marko will blame us righties (and libertarians), but in sarges case he blamed sarge.”

“idee fixe”

“you guys have missed the point here! Remember, DON'T SHOP AT WALLMART! It's unAmerican, environmentally irresponsible and downright bad for the world.”

“damn straight, we don't want americans having jobs”

“I'm shopping there tomorrow. Then I'm going over to bass pro and shop there after.”

“*snicker*
I've got Wal-Mart food in the oven right now.”

“"*snicker*
I've got Wal-Mart food in the oven right now."

Twinkies, huh?”

“And they're so surprised when the jobs disappear ----

Amazing, isn't it.”

“Dem Chinese folks need jobs too.

>8^[”

“They can get their Own damn jobs! � LMAO”

“Too bad t*lt is shamed by his own 'job'.”
