to grocery shop at walmart...most food products are american made. its everything else we should boycott, not jsut walmart. best buy. kohls. cirfcuit city. meijers. victoria secrets macys sears probably even home depot. yup Well, Victoria's Secret more than anything. They make American women look like sluts! Excuse me?I wear my undies under my clothes and i see nothing wrong with a little lacy something.Looking sexy does not equate with slut. Exactly! You don't take off your clothing and parade up and down a runway in your lacy little somethings. On TV! In prime time. Wearing Angel wings! (What does this tell those who think Americans are absolutely Godless heathens?) I've known many young male Arab students who actually believed that those lacy little somethings were going to be lined up waiting for them, on blonde prostitutes, as they stepped off the plane in every American airport. Victoria's Secret, and their customers, can have their lacy little somethings as long as they keep their (softcore) pornography out of my face. Do you have children? Do you enjoy it when they walk down the mall and see huge photos of the kind they have in the windows of the VS store? So are they just evil cause they are lace? Because if they were wearing bikinis in those posters it would be covering just as much.. do you stay clear from the beach also? And it's not Victoria Secrets fault that some Arab kid watches a TV program and thinks a WHOLE COUNTRY and all the people in it are that way... sigh the evil ones are the few at the top who keep propagating this lie that nudity is sexual, it is not. Man decided to cover themselves up for some reason, probably not a good one. "Oh Adam,,go and fetch me some of those apples, and I'll move the fig leaves".

"Oh Adam,,go and fetch me some of those apples, and I'll move the fig leaves". It's because of those that believe sex is a sin and we should be ashamed of our bodies and being interested in sex..

I don't see the men as any less horny in countries where women are covered from head to toe.

Today I picked up the Christmas bike for my child at Walmart. It's the one my child picked out after looking at Target and Walmart.

Although I don't shop at Walmart I don't see how they are any different from K-mart,Target,Fred meyer and these other stores.You can take all that crap from Wall mart and put it into K-mart and nobody would notice the difference.

with our government debt being propped-up by Chinese investors (Chinese buy majority of U.S. treasury bonds)thus putting us seriously into debt with the Chinese. Then we go to Wal-Mart and buy Chinese crap, We are paying interest to China, while sending our money to China at the same time. EXAMPLE - If i opened a store, but you had to borrow money from me to purchase anything in my store, I would have the dream situation. I URGE EVERYONE TO AVOID WAL-MART LIKE THE PLAGUE IT IS. AM I WRONG ? We might see the end of America in our lifetime. All governments come to an end. History is bound to repeat itself in that aspect. The Persian Empire is gone. The Greek empire is gone. The Roman empire is gone. In our time >>> Soviet Russia is gone... America will one day be gone, no government is eternal. It could happen in our lifetime. Time to stock up on weapons and ammo.... LOL.

What about the British Empire? They seem to be still around they just changed their position a little. Maybe we'll be following Canada in the future. Wouldn't that be a kick?

LOL. lol not. we damn well better either stock up ourselves or have some one real close to us do it for us. If the economy keeps getting worse, it's gonna turn real violent real quick. Anyone who just buries there head in the sand and thinks our problems are going to magically get fixed by the next administration better get there head exanmined. The problem is so much bigger than a Governament can fix, I don't know if there are enough people that can think for themselves left in the world to fix it. This has been brewing for A very long time. Hundreds if not thousands of years. There is only one thing that most honest economists agree will fix the problem. Some way to redistribute the wealth/goods and services. Unfortunatly the problem has gotten so big, because of people buring there hard fat greed driven heads in the sand, there is know good way of doing this. If all this sounds a little on the grim side, THATS BECAUSE IT IS GRIM ! TIME TO WAKE UP AND THINK !

Wow have most forgotten that many of our American company's have chosen to move their factory's as well to china to make what was once made here! Everyone has a choice but to boycott one chain of stores is like calling the Kettle Black. Due to the fact you name me a store and I can almost bet something there can be found that was made in China. All one has to do is is DO NOT BUY ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA if that is what your getting at. We all have that choice and the items are marked as well. Even though now days they are actually takening away the marking MADE IN CHINA instead they are listing a series of numbers which anyone can find out the numbers that indicate the item was actually MADE IN CHINA. Myself regardless where it was made at since you don't find many things MADE IN THE USA anymore if it is something I want then I will buy it. Same with fuel we import it over from other countries don't ya think if we were going to actually boycott something that should be our main concern. Since we do have plenty of it here naw instead lets go boycott toys ect... cause our American Factorys are now in China making what once was here. Shshs

I was listening to NPR new in the car this morning. They were talking about how our economic problems were affecting their factories. We are not ordering as many goods so they are cutting back their staff. Then they discussed the American companies in China. They seem to be doing well. It bothered me to hear them talk about the American companies and the Chinese people that work there. Heavy sigh.

It better start doing more than just bother you, or it will it just "bother you" when you start starving! Don't be offended, I'm directing this at you winx, its the attitude that so many have that is the problem!

Heavy sigh. the American economy is just a part of a global economy. for good or bad or right or wrong. If you buy a television it is almost guaranteed to be Japanese or Korean. Cell phones are either Korean or Finnish. And of course the Japanese continue to kick our asses in the automotive market

I'm glad that Obama is supposed to be making incentives to keep companies here and not reward the companies over there. I hoping that it might make a difference.
