CD singles....
Where in Toronto can you buy CD singles?
My local HMV says they do not stock singles.... what is that all about Any good places or even reliable mail order companies. Even Amazon Canada only has a handful at best :huh: |
Re: CD singles....
Wal-Mart usually has some but titles can vary by store.

Re: CD singles....
Do you have a 'Futureshop'? Our local one sells them. Or Walmart as already suggested.

I find the usual argument for shopping at Wal-Mart; that one's grinding poverty justifies abandonment of all morality for the sake of saving five cents a week, unpersuasive, but I can see that there's a shred of logic to it. What's the case for sullying yourself in pursuit of something you obviously don't need?

I used to think that way.......this is an interesting article about Good Wal-Mart/Evil Wal-Mart
Amazing that walmart alone accounts for more than 10% of US trade with China! I disagree with dbds assesment that walmart is all about white trash, it seems to be classless here, you are as likely to see the wealthy there piling cases of Coke into the back of the mercedes M class as the working (or notsoworking) poor filling the back of that rusty old Dodge Caravan. |

The article doesn't address other corrosive effects of Wal-Mart such as erosion of employee benefits, decline in employment security, union-busting, contribution to decline of town centres, cultural imperialism and mocking American values by, one the one hand posing as the all-American store and, on the other, outsourcing everything. It also fails to consider the more reasonable policies of competing stores such as Costco and Target. I think that reasonable, it's a magazine that promotes big business and Wal-Mart is a bug business, but individuals are not beholden to big business and should do better. |

Not in Barrie, you aren't. More importantly though Wal-Mart threads usually resolve to two positions: - it's wrong to go there - I'm so poor I have to go there. Are you now suggesting that there's a sense in which going there while not grindingly poor is somehow defensible? |

Are you now suggesting that there's a sense in which going there while not grindingly poor is somehow defensible? It also strikes me that wealthy people are no less frail and human than the rest of us, and I expect that ,like the rest of us, this is not the only morally ambiguous choice they have ever made. I'm doubt shoping at Walmart is any more of a carnal sin than some other things they do. Personally I dont make a habit of shopping there, but if I am passing and need to get something Ive forgotten , then I'm not going to stop and turn around and go the other side of town just because of my principals. |

I thought the vlasic pickle story was a good example of how Walmart is a bad thing overall. http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/77/walmart.html |
