Tolos are you the same guy, who started a thread sometime ago about how you loathe Oprah? Remarkable similarities if you're not.

Ah ok, I thought so the rhetoric sounded spookily similar.

Bottom line is this - I'm a consumer. A customer. I want products at the lowest price. You're all free to go and visit one of those mom & pop gas stations, who charge $2 for a pack of gun, or $3 for a tin of beans. Feel good that you are supporting fair trade. But I'll personally stick to Wal-Mart and get my gum for 20c and my beans for 80c thanks.
I'm glad WalMart is around. I trust it a lot more than these local foodmarts, who are much more likely to sell outdated food and overprice their goods to make a profit. I want to save money, and WM allows me to do that. Long may it prosper.

I'm also happy Walmart got thrown out of Germany. You know, because the low price European competitors that kicked their ass like Metro, Aldi and Carrefour are all virtuous n'stuff.

Look it up.
With your philosophy we can all grow up to be 'Allzumenschliches' like yourself and this gentleman:

Laying out a buck or so less than a competitor for inferior quality is really smart..

WalMart depends on China's cheap and often forced and abused labour force to supply you with a bang.

No no you are so right...Walmart only sell the finest goods.
