so I had to go to Wal-Mart to get fertilizer for my parents lawn the other day. I hate that store with a passion, but I had to go anyway. I parked and got our of my car and happened to glance at the bumper stickers of the car next to me. (see pic) what a moron, that person is obviously very politically confused, b/c WTF?!?! How stupid can a mofo get?

No, I'm sure the picture wasn't taken in Ohio.

Let me explain. I have a theory. Everywhere I go, I see Ohio license plates. It's like a plague. I wondered how so many people could be travelling the country from Ohio so often. Then I realized. People get their tags in Ohio, then go elsewhere, b/c Ohio must be a really boring place to live. No one actually LIVES in Ohio, they just like the DMV's (Maybe lower taxes/fees?)

If I seriously saw that bumper sticker on a car sometime on a weekend night on the road I would throw something at it.

And to this day I promise I will fullfill that obligation if that day is to ever come...

your going down Wal * Mart...

your going down....

It's not like were going to have homicidal maniacs going after him. I don't think we have those type of people here at LM.

see, as was stated in the original post, this is obviously someone who has no clear concept of their political views. this person is one of the flock, a sheep, cattle in the herd, following blindly what the media feeds them. I have no respect for this kind of person. I'm a republican, but not necessarily hard conservative. I have my own formed and educated politcal views. I hate conservatives as much as I hate liberals. Why? because 99.9999999999999999999999% of them dont know their ass from a hole in the ground where things like politics, policy, economics, foreign relations and diplomacy are concerned. Liberals watch CNN, conservatives watch FOXNews, and that vast, uninformed majority that i just mentioned, get their opinions direct from those channels on the idiot box.

It's similar to Microsoft... people generally like the store itself.  I personally go there whenever I need stuff like paper towels, soap and other non-food grocery items because its tons cheaper than other places for these items.  What people hate about Walmart is their business practices.

I'm no expert on the issue, but the biggest thing that has people mad is the way they move into small towns and target specific businesses to drive them out.  For example, if there is a locally owned or smaller chain gardening shop in the area, they will offer specials and very low prices in their own gardening area until they can drive them out of business.  Often they will sell products at or below cost for this purpose.  They've actually been sued for this by pharmacies.

Can't find any good links about that one other than leftist propoganda at the moment.

The other issue stems from workers being forced to work overtime without pay.  Similar to EA trying to call their artists "engineers", they attempt to classify everybody as "managers" so they can say that they are exempt from overtime pay.  They then will have employees work off the official clock.
