Don't Shop at Wal-Mart

“as an ex cashier, i say whatever you do to a shoplifter, well, frankly, i don't care.”

“STFU stove@ss

go away.....”

“is this the new HWSNBN?”

“What did you do with Nanook?”

“Under Texas law, a security guard or anyone has the right to detain a person who has stolen or is attempting to steal property

Things are different in Texas. In my town the Walmart associates are told they can't lay a hand on shoplifters or anyone else. They do, though, usually have a state-commissioned peace officer on the premises who can put a hurt on them, though.”

“reneck of the north = mapleleaf?

hmmm...”

“that's what we are told in CA, and it sucks. i think we should be able to tackle the suckers, take 'em to a back room, and scare the living daylights out of 'em!!! they did that to me when i was a kid and i've never stolen a thing since then. we aren't able to do anything to scammers either. or people who pass fake credit cards, fake money. so these b@stards just get to keep ruining it for all of us. and you wonder why the cost of goods is so danged high.”

“There was a guy in Texas who was fired for chasing a thief a few weeks ago. The idea is that it stops the situation escalating in which others could get hurt - for example if the thief has a gun. There'd be huge liability issues if store staff could do what they want.”

“Poor simple minded Sarge, can't figure anything out.”

“Yeah, your "Stove @ss" and "Go away" comments were so intellectually stimulating.”

““fact: you are fat - you know that is true

fact: I'm not "little", and you have no evidence either way

fact: the world does not ignore me, and you have no evidence either way

fact: you are fat”

Like this you mean Sarge. You seem as though you're a little over-stimulated here.”

“Know one ever said bible thumbers were particularly smart.”

“yeah - and bible thumpers too!”

“No, thumbers. You know the people that talk about Jebus all the time with their thumb up their butt.”

There is that, but a very big reason stores have these policies is that they aren't losing anything when they are robbed. Insurance companies pay them back. The cost of insurance goes up for all similar businesses and all similar businesses pass on the increase to the consumer. Why should they risk a lawsuit when they can redeem the money without cost.”

“y2, like ANY of your posts?

Oh, and you ARE fat. That's not a joke. That's just reality. No offense meant by it.”

“Man, we've been going around in circles for what, three of four years now, and THAT is all you've got. That's pretty well abject surrender on your part. I guess the better man won.

Come on guys, time to pay out on those bets now. Told you I could do it.

“Give him some of the ole mail-order-bride karate chop, Sr. Sarge!”

“Went to Walmart just this evening. Everything I bought was made in America and I also picked up some of the reusable shopping bags to use when I go to the farmer's market twice a week.”

“'I also picked up some of the reusable shopping bags to use when I go to the farmer's market twice a week.'

You're my hero! I've got my whole family into using those, almost 100% compliance-- they don't want to hear it ever again.”

“Same here. Pretty handy for farmers market. I am also thinking that they will work well when I am on a day hike for picking up all the trash the jack asses who can't pack out an empty soda can leave.”

“Correction: the reusable bags are actually made in China. Good quality bag too. It almost soothes my broken heart because somewhere in America there is a reusable bag factory closing it's doors because I bought Chinese bags. [tear]”

“Co'recshun: de reusable bags is actually made in China. WORD! Good quality bag too. 'S coo', bro. It mos' soodes mah' bugger'd heart cuz' somewhere in America dere be a reusable bag facto'y closin' it's doo's cuz' I bought Chinese bags. [tear]””

“hey gomez, don't you think that's racist? my wife is not a mail-order bride. Believe it or not, people actually come from other countries. I guess you prefer only Americans though, right? All those other nationalities are just to make fun of, right?”

“Give him some uh de ole mail-o'der-bride karate chop, Sr. Ah be baaad... Sarge! Right on!”

“E-bay piece or three year lease?”

“Of course you do know Haywood that Sarge will now have to go through a music montage` as he prepares himself for battle ala Chuck Norris or the A Team and hunt you down and kill you for making fun of he and his wife. Just thought you might want a heads up so you can barricade the front door and say good bye to loved ones.”

“Fie dolluh foot long?

Silly Nigal, High Pain Dripper ain't Sarge.”

“Women want to be WITH me and Men want to BE me.

It's a curse, I know. :)”

“I need to to hang out with Nigal. Something tells me he'd make the worlds best wing man. For once I can be the lesser of two evils.”

“silly boys”

“Lmao @ LZ”

“Watched a cool episode of Penn & Tell's Bullsh*t about Walmart hatred. [rated R for language and boobies]

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3”

“You know a few months ago there was a shoplifter who took some DVD's (bout $100 worth) from the Walmart in Columbia County.

Cuz backed out and rammed a red truck and hit two other cars leaving.

WHAHAHAHAHA. Well the truck was clearly marked as emergency services the driver was recovering from back injuries sustained in the line of duty. So when Cuz gets hooked up he isn't facing obstruction, etc etc...he is getting some MAJOR time for Aggravated Assault on a public safety officer.”

“WGAF?”

“lmao...CUZ DOES.”

“Don't shop at Wal-Mart cuz they are a MAJOR SUPPORTER of the Health Care Reform Bill....

The way they treat employees tells me that they support the bill because it's in their own financial interest.......

that alone turns me off on the bill.

http://walmartwatch.com/blog/archives/wal_mart_health_care_reform_cut_employee_benefits/”

“Sure ---- They want to reduce their cost: the same reason why they source products in the Third World.

The way healthcare costs continue to outpace inflation, how long do you expect that 'free' insurance from your employer to continue?”

“T*ltypoo is so hate filled.”

“Poor tilty, he hates all them foriegn kids.”

“Next time you hear about a Chinese ballistic missile test, give yourself a pat on the back.”

“Why do you two love gllt soooo much?”

“Poor little t*lt and rosey had hissy fits when they learned the head of Whole Foods wrote an op-ed against their Messiah's health care bill.”

“No Tilty I give CLEENTOn the pat..for his hook up with Ron Brown and Loral Aerospace...”

“Are you kidding? I don't even know wtf you are talking about. Did you pop too many muscle relaxers today?”

“Try not to show your ignorance, rosey.”

Time Line of Clinton China Decisions

(BY TOM CURRY AND ROBERT WINDREM)
As the Clinton administration debated whether to allow U.S. satellites to be lofted into orbit aboard Chinese missiles, Bernard Schwartz, chairman of Loral Space & Communications, and Democratic fund-raiser Johnny Chung, allegedly using money from the Chinese army, gave more than $500,000 in soft money, ostensibly used for `party-building efforts,' to the Democrats.

The Justice Department and Congress are investigating how a technical report on the explosion of a Chinese missile in 1996--a report that could help China assess the reliability of its missile arsenal--found its way into the hands of the Chinese.

That report was prepared by employees of Loral, Hughes Electronics and other firms.

In a statement issued May 18, Loral said that `Bernard Schwartz, chairman of Loral Space & Communications Ltd. . . . was not personally involved in any aspect of this matter. No political favors or benefits of any kind were requested or extended, directly or indirectly, by any means whatever.'

The firm also declared that: `Allegations of a connection between the launch failure and a subsequent presidential authorization for use of Chinese launch services for another [Loral] satellite to China are without foundation.'

Nonetheless, Justice Department and congressional investigators are sure to scrutinize the chronology of gifts and decisions.

The time line does not prove any cause-and-effect relationship between donations and decisions. It does give investigators a basis for their criminal inquiry.

April 24, 1995: Loral chairman Schwartz gives $25,000 to the Democratic National Committee.

June 30, 1995: Schwartz gives $20,000 to Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which provide support for Democratic Senate candidates.

Nov. 29, 1995: Schwartz gives $100,000 to DNC.

Nov. 29, 1995: A Chinese government agency writes Loral, asking for help in getting an upgrade for its dual-use imaging technology, exports of which are prohibited under U.S. sanctions.

Oct., 1997: A federal investigation of Loral begins.

Feb. 12, 1998: As Clinton ponders whether to sign another waiver allowing launch of a Loral satellite aboard a Chinese missile, National Security Adviser Sandy Berger sends him a memo saying the Justice Department `has cautioned that a national interest waiver in this case could have a significant adverse impact on any prosecution [of Loral] that might take place based on a pending investigation of export violation.'

But Berger adds that `the advantages of this project outweigh the risk,' and `it is inappropriate to penalize [Loral] before they have even been charged with any crime.'

Feb. 18, 1998: Clinton signs a waiver allowing Loral satellite to be lifted into orbit by the Chinese.


SO UM GFYS...there Rosey boy. YOU sir have no freaking clue what YOU are talking about.

(apology accepted)”

“My "FREE" insurance costs me $290.00 a month...Free my ass....(and thats with a $500.00 deductable and limits on liability)”

“Why do you think I put it in quotes?

Why do you think insurance costs so much in the first place? At the current rate you're going to be paying COBRA rates if there aren't sunstantial changes.”
