Should probably bow out after this one; I don't think there is much room for rational discussion for my viewpoints here.

I agree that walmart is a piece of crap, but you don't really know what suffering is. Please ask your grandparents what options their grandparents had in life.

If you have some notion that corporations that try to profit are a blight on society and that their abolition will lead to some dream world, then by all means. Please knock over all the establishments, nationalize all corporations and divy profits amongst the workers, redivide the wealth of every millionaire, publish a list of banned words like 'wealth', and so on, and then point me to the nearest democracy.

I agree, you refuse to address the arguments people bring up in favor of attacking straw men and relying on sarcastic hyperbole.


Funny, your comment is self referencing


Wow, that's one hell of a strawman.

I am absolutely not against people wanting to run a business for profit. In that sense, I am a rather pragmatic socialist libertarian, if you will.

However, I am strongly against businesses that exploit their workers by underpaying and overworking them.
