yeah walmart is a grocery store too, but so what?  the difference between walmarts milk prices and those of my local corner store is 50 cents.  you cant see giving 50 cents to your neighbor?  you'd rather give that to walmart?  i know thats an amazing sum of money so maybe im being pretentious in assuming everyone can get 50 cents together.

im not sating people cant afford it, but that 50 cents means walmart is doing a better job at supplying melk then a small grocery store could. if small businesses could do the job just as well as large businesses, there wouldnt be any large businesses. if you want me to be a real dick and quash any help of you arguing otherwise, look at communication companies. the massive infrastructure they have, a small company could never accomplish.

of course they can SUPPLY the milk better, they're massive and cutthroat.  eliminate all my competition and i'd be able to anything better.  as for communication, point taken.  certain things have to be done on a grand scale, but that doesnt mean everything has to.

"the earth's purpose? cmon avo.  the earth's purpose is to be, to give life to things, to perpetuate that life.  i think it's hard to say "the earth" as well, the earth is a collection of all the things on it, the planet, animal, insect life, all of it. the earth just happened and then life just happened on it, and no creature that happened on it did anything to deliberately destroy it, except us."

come on, you didnt catch that i was making fun of you saying the "earth's purpose"? the only thing you can really argue has a purpose is humans, and even then you would have a hard time convincing some people of that. they would tell you any purpose is fictional and is just made up to give their life meaning.

so more importantly; what are human's purpose?

"and people dont care how its supplied, they just want it cheaper. if walmart stopped selling milk tomorrow people would just get it elsewhere and your locality would suddenly have a little bit more coming into it.  i know you're touting the wonders of the conglomerates but do you care about the area you live in, the area your from, or do you care about walmart and its amazing powers of purchasing and distributing at a rate that kicks mom and pop's asses to the curb?"

well, if my entire area gets their milk for cheaper, that makes it easier for everyone in my entire area. a cheese company paying less for milk means cheaper cheese; cheaper cheese means cheaper sandwiches, cheaper milk also means cheaper yogurt, icecream, ect. cheaper milk in your entire area means a reduction in costs for your entire area which means more economic success in your entire region against other regions' companies.

you fool, do you really have enough better stuff to do that you couldnt put alittle more effort in your posts? i mean, calling BE gay and has sex with children..... i expected better from you. you didnt even make a comment about his kids; what diseases he has picked up from the women he had his kids with that he later passed on to his kids, or a comment about people that have served in the millitary during dessert storm. 

"Avo: I think you were echoing my point about BW... how do we know he is any of these things? How do we know any of us are any of the things we say we are?"

i have a theory that everyone on the internet (other then myself) is 14. (couldnt be much younger because of the massive porn usage)

"well, if my entire area gets their milk for cheaper, that makes it easier for everyone in my entire area. a cheese company paying less for milk means cheaper cheese; cheaper cheese means cheaper sandwiches, cheaper milk also means cheaper yogurt, icecream, ect. cheaper milk in your entire area means a reduction in costs for your entire area which means more economic success in your entire region against other regions' companies."

in theory this makes sense, you're totally right, but now lets have a look at the areas where walmart moves in.  now theory starts to look a little bit hazy.  i can almost guarantee that if you go to an area where walmart has moved in, housing prices have dropped (before the bubble burst on that this was true), families are worse off, whatever mom and pop stores they had are gone...and it smells worse (sorry had to put that there).  your theoretical economics makes sense, its all econ 101 that we're doing here, the problem comes in execution.  if it was as simple as you say then hell yes! go walmart! but the fact is they suck life from an are, they dont breathe new.  a walmart tried to move in near my town and the two towns that would be affected by it fought them off and refused to let them in.  now both towns have undergone a renaissance of sorts.  their downtowns are fourishing, more people are moving in, houses are being redone, and the lot that walmart was supposed to be on remains empty,  thats the reality of the situation.

as an aside, it was always the really disgusting, run down, crappy houses that the owners never took care of that had "WAL MART YES" signs in their front yard.

so can i have sex with you?
