    YOu know Johnny, youve turned into a real jerk lately.
    Actually, I was always a jerk and an asshole. It just comes out when provoked.

    But, your quoted statement seems to be said without intended malice (and actually calm, collected and simply a statement of fact), so I'm willing to call a truce...

    As long as you stop claiming Dontrelle is overrated.

    Seriously, though...we're cool again - like it should have been.

    It was.

    I guess instead of the response there, I should say that

    my posts are not supposed to be literary content nor musical content.

    I don't boycott wal mart, but I do everything in my power not to buy from them. Only time I've went there was when I worked 3-11 and they were the only place open to buy groceries from.

    Actually I agree 100% with Manny, Jekka and Spurster's position.

    It's pretty obvious why many (not all) American companies, specially the ones that manufacture stuff, move their facilities overseas. Becasue they can get away with stuff they could only dream with getting away here. And that makes their bottom line look better.

    As for buying or not buying things from Walmart, well its a personal choice and I don't think its laughable.

    My boycott of Walmart started before I even met Jekka, and hers started after she met me.

    So yes, I only believe what I do because of Jessica. That is obviously how I came to my choice.

    Workers Rights Group Says NFL, NBA Jerseys Are Manufactured in Sweatshop

    washington post

    Saturday, July 23, 2005; Page E02

    NBA and NFL jerseys are being manufactured in a Honduran factory where workers who earn 19 cents per garment in sweatshop conditions are producing $75 jerseys, a human rights organization asserted yesterday.

    "There's something wrong with the NFL and NBA players financing their strike fund and their union from royalties made on the backs of women locked in sweatshops across the developing world, who are denied their rights, paid starvation wages and would be fired the first time the boss even suspected them of trying to organize to defend their rights," said Charles Kernaghan , director of the National Labor Committee, a human rights group that focuses on workers' rights.


    Kernaghan made his allegations at a news conference yesterday held outside the NBA Store on Fifth Avenue in New York.

    Massachusetts-based Reebok issued a response disputing many of the allegations contained in the committee's report and announced a plan for an independent assessment of the factory's conditions.

    The NBA issued the following statement: "Reebok has assured us that the National Labor Committee report contains numerous inaccuracies. In addition, Reebok is a member of the Fair Labor Association, which has accredited Reebok's global program for the manufacturing of its footwear and apparel."

    The NFL said, "Reebok has assured us that the allegations in the report contain many inaccuracies."

    Wal-Mart Nixes 'Singles Shopping'

    Sat Jul 23,12:04 PM ET

    Wal-Mart has ditched a program that helped single shoppers find love in the discount store's aisles.

    Officials at Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., ordered their Roanoke store to put an end to Singles Shopping, the only program of its kind at Wal-Mart's U.S. stores.

    Taking a cue from Wal-Marts in Germany, the month-old program encouraged customers on Friday evenings to pick up a red bow they could place on their shopping carts as an invitation to other singles. "Flirt points" were set up in various sections of the store.

    A Wal-Mart spokesman declined to comment on the reason behind the program's cancellation. But customer Dale Firebaugh, who showed up Friday night hoping to meet his match, said store employees told him several people had complained.

    "I'm disappointed," said Firebaugh, 63. "Where can someone over 40 who doesn't smoke or drink or go to bars meet someone?"

    DAMN! I completely missed this gem of a thread.

    I don't boycott Wal-Mart, but generally speaking I usually go to Target 'cause the women who shop there are so much hotter.
