I mean that the average American isn't a wal-mart hater - in fact, they love walmart. Walmart has allowed lower income Americans to stretch their dollar even further. Many many people in the US see Walmart as an ally, not an enemy.
(Don't mistake this as me loving Walmart too, I'm just saying that Americans are big fans. So much so that Walmart can't open another store at this point without cannibalizing sales of another store - the US is that saturated.) |
Esp in the south, Americans LOVE Wal-Mart, generally.
I couldnt believe all the Wal-Mart flat out adoration that I saw in North Carolina.
If you want ANYTHING (almost), they seemed to instantly think of going to Wal-Mart to get it. Didn't matter what it was -- Wal-Mart was first thought. "Let's go to Wal-Mart and get pick it up" Wal-Mart seemed to usually be the first 'solution' to aquring anything needed, certainly it was usually the first offered verbal choice of where to go.
Hell, since even many small towns have Wal-Marts, you'd see ppl doing multiple trips a day to Wal-Mart, just for the sake of it.
Wal-Marts in the south have even become popular socializing places.
And I was aware of a couple car gangs that actually had meet ups in freakin' Wal-Mart parking lots (in Kinston, NC).
Its amazing to the degree to which Wal-Mart has saturated American society, at least further south. |

^^lol When I moved to the city, I freaked a little because there was no walmarts here (too big of a store I am assuming, to fit here.)
I was like: "Omg so you mean I am going to have to go to SEVERAL stores to get the things I want?????" :nervous:
:haha: |

well said. |

| I was also thinking of the sense of hubris, of entitlement to resources (any of them, take your pick) without acknowledgement that they are finite that seems to coincide with/entail/be entailed by creationist ideas. |

He'll probably win, cause Americans are retarded. The guy has zero political experience. You have two doctors, one that's been working at the hospital for twenty years, the other for two. Which do you choose to run the emergency department?
Obama should not even be running. If he had any common sense, he would see that his political carrer is in its infancy. Maybe he'll muttle his way through a presidency now, but in eight years, he could be a great president. Too bad he only gives a crap about his own interests. |

| It's really quite hilarious how he's perceived as the outsider, the voice of change. |

On an unrelated note;
It's really quite annoying how you start every post with that lame emoticon. |
