The Boycott Topic. (Wal-mart iz bad!)

[QUOTE="DeeJayInphinity"]Why don't you boycott Best Buy, Circuit CIty, McDonalds, Home Depot, Office Max...? They're all essentially the same. The only difference is their products.
And no I don't boycott anything.Sports-Fan

All businesses seek to minimize cost and maximize revenue. Wal-Mart just happens to be more successful than most.Oleg_Huzwog

You mean Wal-mart just happen to be the most unhumane out of the rest.ThrillTorn

"Unhumane"? :? It's a business; not a charity.

Sorry, but I think I stated it correctly.

i would be supporting a country that wishes the destruction of the united states and i'd be supporting their dictator.

I think you just described every oil-exporting country... or have you stopped using oil altogether?

Their employees average payment in the company is nearly double the national minimum wage.. If it weren't for Wallmart in many communities, many people would not be able to find jobs.. Sure Wallmart can be dicks but they have gotten sued for it and loss on numerous occassions..

Not to mention Sweatshops are a good thing at this time in those nations.. The people in those sweatshops with out them would have a more brutal and less paying subsitute.. Its a lesser of two evils.. And sweat shops will disppear when these countries become more developed.. China is proof of this.

What the hell is that suppose to mean, just because i need to make profit i have to sell out my morals too?ThrillTorn

And which set of morals shall they adhere to? Yours? Mine? I see nothing wrong with employees working for the wages and benefits that they agreed to upon hiring.

Not to mention all business and capitalism in general is immoral.. You can't single out one business of any kind of being immoral, its rediculous.. Because at the end of the day you are still using people for the product and services.. Which is dehumanizing..

I and many others Boycotted Wal-Mart when we realize a Wal-Mart department store near to us closed down because the workers wanted to from a union. I mean seriosuly WTF?

The world as a whole has morals that we all share.
Beating an Animal half to death for no reason, that's Imoral and everyone agrees on it,
unless you are some sort of psychopath.ThrillTorn

Alright, if Wal-Mart starts selling tickets to animal beatings, then I'll join you in your protest.

They sell Dogs for eating in China, how do you know they aren't been mis-treated?
ThrillTorn

Uh... what? You lost me. Questions that begin with "how do we know..." imply you mean to suggest it is our responsibility as consumers to know the details of every step in the retail chain prior to shopping at a particular store. That's just silly.

I know it isn't the only company, my main concern is that it's the biggest.

You've been supporting the Saudis and those other Middle Eastern countries involved in the oil market/trade your whole life, which supposedly they wanted the same from America as you say Venezuela supposedly wants.

I don't really like wal mart because of the people that shop there, but if they are the only place that has something I need or the deal is too good to pass up, I will go there.

I think it is pretty stupid to boycott Wal-Mart because you feel it is, "Bad for America."

Boycott something that needs to be boycotted, China.
