Justin - No need to get so confrontational. This is just suppose to be a friendly little chat about what people think about Wal-mart, or what that have heard, seen, or read about them. No one opinion is Right, Wrong, or Indifferent; we are all entitled to our own opinion.
Personally I hate Wal-Mart, as I have been an employee so I know what they are cappable of. Mikey wants to pee on them if I remember correctly, but my friend that works for them at Corporate loves them, so it all good.
Ryan - Aren't you supposed to be at the post sending stuff to Chicago?
My comment about Name having a wrong opinion was
sarcastic, hence the
afterwards. I wouldn't classify offering a different point of view as
confrontational - as you said, we are all entitled to our own opinion and the heart of any blog is people posting their opinions. Otherwise every reply would just say "Yes, I agree!"
If you haven't guessed by now, my pet peeve (original topic of our discussion) is people who blindly judge a person or group of persons without really looking at all of the angles and facts. Based on additional evidence, I'm trying to counter what I believe to be prejudice against Wal-Mart.
I'm also not a very big fan of the word
hate in general.
Hate {–verb}: to dislike intensely or passionately; feel extreme aversion for or extreme hostility toward...
Why would you feel "extreme hostility" towards a corporation that lowers consumer prices across all retailers, donates more actual dollars than any of their peers, or more personally - gave you a paycheck? I don't like to shop there, but I really haven't seen a lot of rationale for people to hate Wal-Mart, outside of Mike who secretly loves them.
