Yep, showing that they aren't thinking, just mechanically reacting and regurgitating the stuff that's force/spoon fed to them.

Jonathan Gruber, is that you? :-D

Well, we'll see how time plays out on this post, currently modded "troll".. but I think that just proves his point. I think this post was eloquent, intelligently worded, and fairly spot on, except for the somewhat harsh characterization of Scandinavia which was a bit over the top. World-wide, there's a whole lot of self righteousness going around, and blaming America for everything, without looking inward or seeing the bigger picture. Other countries citizens/subjects are often just as jingoistic, and often reveal ignorance of the true nature of the US. It's trendy nowadays to just blame the US for everything; and apparently we're the only nation in the world now that is not allowed to exercise border control either, because somehow the fact that colonists came over hundreds of years ago when the country was a wilderness populated by no officially recognized nation but by native Indian tribes, means the US has no right to exercise a naturalization policy.

tölted ? That's the Icelandic horse. Are you suggesting a connection between the vikings and the city of Atlantis? Oh my, there's a special for the History Channel!


(When I read this back to proofread, I sounded like George Takei in my head)

That's a very, very, fine line. Gaming the system is in many ways fraudulent.

Not sure if this is your example of gaming the system.. because it's not, it is the system, as intended. Lowes does that to attract more business.

So does every other major retailer. But the fact that Walmart was actually honoring these prices matches kind of takes the wind out of your sails.

Thanks for trying to destroy the country, because with your logic, businesses would fail all over. ("amoral-by-definition"???)
I get so sick of this "Walmart is big corporate evil" mantra. The very fact that Walmart has been taken in by this scam several times only illustrates that they make a good faith effort to honor their deals.
I'm not thrilled with the whole stockholders model anymore either, (customers and employees should be more important) but Walmart is no worse than anyone else.. why isn't Target a target, for example? or Macy's? or Lord and Taylors? They they treat their people any better, or have fairer prices? The only reason Walmart is attacked so much is because the family are known conservatives.

Troll is obvious troll. Why are people feeding it?

Well actually, they'd be suing to get the game console for $100, so the assumed net gain would be the difference between the bogus advertised price and the real price: closer to $300 or so; but yeah, that's still not even close to worth it.

Funny, that's how communism works too.

No, it's about the Constitution. The US (as in United States) was never intended as designed to become ruled by some huge, monolithic federal governing kleptocracy. The Federal government was to provide for the common defense, and currency, primarily. The rest was supposed to be up to the States themselves. The role of the federal government has grown consistently over the past 200 years, to where now the States are little more than puppets with a tiny bit of autonomy.

And I have a very hard time believing that any large metropolitan area in the US is actually getting whiter. But let's throw race into the mix too, just to stoke that white male guilt while we're at it.

You're not saying anything everyone didn't already know. Yes, NSA surveillance went crazy after 9-11. But yet, from 2008 til the present, Obama and the democrat led Senate (and close to parity in the House, until this January) could've put their money where their mouth is and scaled the Patriot Act back, or expired it even if the republicans fought to keep it alive, yet it was always renewed with non-partisan flying colors.

True, but coal produces much more energy, energy which is needed. If wind turbines produced more output, they might be more tolerable, but they aren't even close. And, as parent noted, they aren't even all that environmentally friendly when you take all things into consideration. I think they're better used in more extreme latitudes, where solar isn't as viable, and where the winds may be more regular.

Thats redeculous. Your such a looser. I english just find.
