Clearly you are not from Earth as you don’t seem to “get” much of the normal, everyday activities of people in a first world country. I think that you need to chill out and stop taking such extreme offense to every little thing that happens to not agree with your delicate sensibilities. Try taking a little walk around a city or watch TV for a half an hour. Get advertised to and just accept that it’s part of life.

Gee, I don’t go there to make friends and intellectual buddies. I go there to take advantage of the ultra-low prices on everyday items. What a shocker! Plenty of places to discount shop? Not lower-priced than Wal-Mart, but then again, I should know where the lowest prices are for what I buy, or do you know that better than me?

“And since I have nothing in common with the unenlightened, statist-seeking, depraved masses that overrun a Wal-Mart,”

Sorry.. but I have to ask.. why did you go there then?

I haven’t been to Wally World in years. There are plenty of places to discount shop. Why the WM? I guess you get what you pay for…

Regarding Wal-Mart… I don’t buy very much of my food there–I watch the other stores’ food ads for sales in-state-grown chickens, decent red meat, etc.; I just recently loaded up on chickens, tri-tip, and pork meat. Wal-Mart is where I go when I need household stuff such as paper goods, straws, and various other odds and ends. The allegedly low-class fat people don’t bother me so much–what *I* really hate are people who allow their kids to scream and run around like little maniacs, so I prefer to shop late at night when the little monsters are mostly asleep.

I have been out of the hospital for a bit over a week, after being hospitalized for 4-1/2 days with a serious kidney infection. I’m also diabetic, and working on controlling it with diet, etc. Besides being bloated up from IV antibiotics, the hospital food was absolutely terrible! I was shocked at the high-carb pasta, bread, rice, etc. that was considered suitable for a diabetic diet. The “dietitian” came to see me because I wasn’t eating very much of what was on the plate. She actually considered the high-carb crap suitable for a diabetic diet (after I’d worked really hard to wean myself off all that).
After 4-1/2 days of that crap, h3ll, fast food hamburgers almost resembled gourmet food! Not a spot of butter was to be found on anything, but of course there was margarine! Gack! And high-fructose corn syrup, sugary this-and-that. The “clear liquid diet” consisted of beef bouillon “soup,” Jell-O, and sugary desserts. Oh, yeah, and they offered me statin drugs three times, which I absolutely refused to take.

Good grief: http://peopleofwalmart.com/

I had no idea… We don’t have a WalMart way out here…

I’ll probably need counseling over this one:

I haven’t seen “King Corn” but I have been to the Corn Palace. I’m just glad to read that I’m not the only one who doesn’t go to the grocery store or Wal-Mart in the daytime on the weekends. Plus, I’m glad that you so dislike the very overweight lazy people buying sh.. lots of stuff with food stamps as it drives my wife batsh… it doesn’t make her happy to see people taking advantage of the handouts – taken from every hard worker – government provides to people who are supposed to be needy but are actually lazy, your example proves that this isn’t an unusual position to take. Then I’m told by food stampers: I shouldn’t take myself seriously because no one else does. WTF!?

I would sum it up: big government makes people dumb.
