K well I hate Wal-Mart for many reasons but that's beyond the point. Perhaps you've heard that lately they've been opening their stores in the areas close to the Mexican Pyramids!!!

That just makes me so sick and frustrated. I understand if Wal-Mart was some amazing company but it's a piece of shit with no moral values and NOW they are opening even more stores in the ruins area - with massive protests of the locals to no avail.

Anyways just venting - I think this should be stopped! What do you think?

Actually hehehe...don't read too much stuff written by Noam Chomsky...hehe...he's a brilliant linguist and that is his field, nobody comes close - the problem is he's written what appears to be thousands of books lol....none of which are actually backed by any serious research - it's kind of like reading someone's flame mail

We had a whole speech about this guy in one of my history classes - so although what he says is not necessarily all wrong, but it's a lot of flaming without any real hard facts and research behind it - unlike Michael Moore on the other hand that shows you the facts as well.

But yeah other than that you're absolutely correct.

(dont mean to argue)

how did u conclude he is not backed up by evidence?
all mr. moore did is show partial evidence in his movies...
chomsky would ruin his amazing book structure if he involved stating every piece of evidence to his statements...
im pretty sure he does have evidence to most he sais..he is a professor at MIT after all..

Yeah he is...but he's a linguist not a historian or whatever...

Anyway....back to topic...Wal-Mart makes me mad!

get ready to chalk another one up for the corporations.

and lol, you're saying you wont read a linguist' point of view of americas global strategy just because he's a linguist? chomsky is one of the leading foreign policy theorists around. his linguistics background only cements his facts because he knows how to properly form an argument and how to back it up. sorry to hijack

I am not against corporations per-se...actually I don't really have anything against them even tho they're not all good - but that's because of the people not because they are corporations!

But yeah...corporations are OK in general...Wal-Mart...NOT OK in any way - especially when it comes to something like that!

Wal-Mart - cheap crap with horible customer service, horrible treatment of employees and people, and their business partners
Ruins - tremendous achievements of a civilization and history

Pathetic!

Noam does not want to be a historian..

He is an expert on Foreign Policy and is a leading authority. His books are based on facts. All his info is referenced. BTW he's speaking in toronto on the 21st i believe....you guys should go check him out....

EDIT: Fcuk Wal-Mart

EDIT2: Did you know Wal-Mart buys out life insurence for all he people they employ. Now you know why they hire people over the age of 60

Wal-Mart is one of the worst places in the US to work for...they are all brutal even on the corporate level because well...that's what they stand for...



By the way about Chomsky - I'm just passing on what my History and International Relations Professor was talking about in class - He is professor at UofT and Ryerson and he specializes in US International Relations and foreign policy, also written a couple of books - SOOOOO I would definitely trust his point of view... (AND he is NOT AT ALL pro-American if you're wondering)

And this is from the MIT website:
Noam Chomsky

Institute Professor; Professor of Linguistics
Linguistic Theory, Syntax, Semantics, Philosophy of Language

I'm not saying you are all wrong, it's just that this guy wrote a million books which are mostly his own personal views and conclusions that's all. And not they are ALL WRONG...it's just that we had a big speech about how his material would not really be classified as good research for an International Relations history essay because of what I already said above

Its like that documentary The Corporation,

Walmart's a perfect example of a psychopath personality type. One single goal regardless of ethics and morals: make money.
