Last Wally Mart question....

[Carlsummers]

not unless you publicize the "I work for the government so I don't have to worry about my job. " attitude

The ONLY attitude I have about my job, is to keep this computer system running during the mid-night shift, so the medical staff can continue to treat the Veterans at our hospital.....

LMAO ... ... ... ... . until the tax dollars dry up *shakin head* another liberal

Listen jackass...



#1, I'm about the most hardcore conservative person you'd ever meet in your life. I wouldn't vote for Bush because compared to me he looks like Teddy Kennedy. I am an outdoorsman, a recreational shooter, I own 5 pickups, and if you couldn't tell from me being anti-union, well, you need help.



#2, My paycheck doesn't come from the taxpayers. I work for the US Postal Service. We haven't got any federal funding since 1973. My paycheck comes from all the people that use the mail by buying postage. Unless that ever dries up, I still have a job.



If it doesn't, I'll go work in any other automated industrial facilty in this country. I pass hundreds of them on my way to work and they're always looking for good technicians that are willing to work, I'm sure. :-laf



#3, I suggest you load your brain before you shoot your mouth in the future. Your crap you just spewed was about as far from fact as I've seen on this forum.



I'm going to go to bed so when I wake up, I can listen to Rush Limbaugh, followed by my personal favorite, Sean Hannity, when he comes on, since tomorrow is my day off. Not sure why I'm even defending my political views to you, since your view of reality is so clouded that you couldn't read between the lines (anti union = NOT a liberal).

Samsung is a Korean company. I don't mind the political arguments, but i'd love to see some intelligent commentary rather than blindly yelling "chinese" every time Wally Mart is brought up. I know a LOT of senior citizens who work at Wally Mart just to get medical benefits because the good American companies and unions they retired from had inadequate or no medical retirement benefits.

Once again, this is a fine example. Proven wrong again. Load brain, then shoot mouth.

My Tundra is made in the USA and its engine is made in Alabama. My Dodge is made in Mexico. The fat cats in Tokyo make money when I buy a Tundra, but my purchase supports thousands of American jobs. The fat cats in Germany make money when I buy a Dodge, but my purchase supports thousands of Mexican jobs. Buy American? Give me a break! My Gold Wing (made in America) has more American parts than my Harley!!! Buy American is a loud cry of frustration, but it is not a legitimate mantra.

Man, I'm really starting to like you, jsimpson. You apparently CAN read between the lines.



I think the last thing someone that drives a Dodge truck, owned by a German company, and built in Mexico should say is, "Buy American. "



Want something American? Built it yourself. I used to be Mr. Buy USA everything until I realized that there is simply no way in this day and age to have a 100% American product.



What's that word my generation uses? Oh yeah, OWNED!



My father would say, "Open mouth, insert foot"



You choose which one.

Hey Tim, I am a hardcore conservative too. Love larry elder and sean hannity shows, love how he rips that butthead Alan Colmes on Fox apart everyday!



Anyways, I'm glad my Dodge was in good ole' USA when it was still an american company, even though it has its share of "Made in Mexico" parts on it



The sad thing is Tim- I have disagreed on many posts with Jhardwick and he has gotten very upset with me. I do agree with his points how the USA is going in the toilet and during this particular thread and he has been civil so far. However, Jhardwick is one of the few on this message board that are very rude if you do not agree with their opinion they blow their lid-- whine like babies. Instead of arguing the topic they resort to personal insults/bashing. I can handle if someone does not agree with my opinion, that is fine, but they draw the line with the personal attacks which are a favorite among the combacks of JHardwick and company. :-{}

(I can listen to Rush Limbaugh, followed by my personal favorite, Sean Hannity. )



Limbaugh has been made a fool of lately, he has lost it with his blindly following the republican congress like the little sheep he is, and for Sean Hannity, he is even more of a sheep then Limbaugh, Hannity is so far up the rear ends of the republican congress you can't tell where the republican congress ends and Hannity starts.



Oh and by the way before you go label me a left wing Democrat, I am a republican who is very ****** off with the republican party right now after they have pulled their little stunt by trying to reverse the courts of my state of Florida in this right to die case.



I predict that the republicans are going to lose big in the mid term elections, way to go you dumb you know what republicans.



I am considering going independent from now on because if this is really what the Republican party is all about then I don't want any part of it. To hell with both the Republicans and the Democrats.

 

[Dieselfitter]

3 pages of political views which have no use in this 3rd gen forum.

all this was started from a diff. oil bought at walmart

lets stay focused at the original #1 post and speak your views at the political forum.

I love this site , but lately the replys to a post are all view points that lose the real subject matter instead of containing view points with facts that can help the person that first posted a question



"load brain before shooting mouth" everybody can use that statement

 

[JHardwick]

Tim,



You started off with

You two in a labor union or something?

and then

You didn't answer my question. Are you, or are you not, in a labor union?



I'd imagine you are. The only people talking @#$@ about the most profitable business in the world generally are.



Corporations are not in business for their employees or for their compeditors as you suggest with small business. They're in business for their shareholders, and Wal-Mart is a VERY sucessful company.

and then popped off witht this one

I work for the government so I don't have to worry about my job.



If we go to a strictly consuming society you'll still have a job anyway, you're in the business of selling service.

And now I'm a jackass? Go back and read this from the beginning, would you? I already said I owned a small manufacturing business, which are typcally non-union. I already said it was a machine shop, the machinists union hasn't much of a force for 20 years or better. How are you making such a strong assumption that I'm any union?

Hey Erik, you should go back and read this thread to, count how many times you straddled the fence :-laf

 

[Tim]

How are you making such a strong assumption that I'm any union?

I didn't make any assumption. I simply had suspected that you were.



As to what you assumed about myself based on a few short posts... well, as I said, open mouth, insert foot. You've certainly started an anti-liberal political arguement in this thread that doesn't pertain to myself at all since I'm not a liberal and I don't take federal tax money.

 

[jsimpson]

Sheeesh guys, can you at least agree on an oil filter to use???

 

[CRuth]

Well since you asked. Yes, I am a union member. Not that that has any bearing on what I posted. I think for myself, not what my union tells me. Same with politics which is why I am registered decline to state. I don't let democrats or republicans do my thinking for me either.



Plenty of reasons to dislike walmart aside from their anti-union stance. Just their crowded dirty stores with rude disinterested staff would be enough for me. I won't go into the rest here, I was simply stating a fact earlier (I won't shop there) not trying to start a war.



I"d much rather patronize my local napa store where at least they don't freak out when I tell them my Jeep is a 1960

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

I think we've gone far enough off the original topic that we can shut this one down. If you want to start a thread on business practices or geopolitics please do so in the appropriate forums.
