Wal-Mart was founded by a poor farm boy named Sam Walton. Many people began shopping at Wal-Mart, when the chain began for that reason, that and because Sam Walton charged reasonable prices, guaranteed his product most were made in USA, and he paid his employees well. Sam is now deceased Since his departure, prices have gone up, most Wal-marts now pay their employees minimum wage to start out, the employees who began working for Wal-Mart prior to Sams death get paid a higher wage, and most started out making more than minimum wage at that time, there are now more imports in Wal-Mart stores than ever before and now they are building self checkout registers so they won't need as many employees at all. (except to stock the shelves of chourse. I was talking to one of the older Wal-Mart employees the other day and she told me that they have switched her schedule to ridiculous hours and said she felt like she was being forced out the door. I am boycotting Wal-Mart.

With the sophistication of modern ordinance, as demonstrated by the Iraqi highway of death, how can the right to bear arms and huge social cost that it causes be justified?
After the British forces defeated the American ones in 1815 and burnt the American white house, I guess they don’t have to prove a thing. I cant see Canada invading again, and Mexico seems to have given up on getting California and Texas back. So who exactly are the guns to defend against?
Is it that American’s are so conservative that they regard the American constitution as a perfect document and can’t be change?

He is continuously ridaculed about things (some of which are pretty bad but supposively not true... drugs/drinkin & drivin/skimping on hours and is quite over weight. He is a genuine nice guy but is having a hard time with our MIDDLE to LOW economic class community. I really do feel for him. Hard lines to stay between in a town where one neighbor is the town drunk/druggy and the other could be your mayor. Jerry Springer, you hear this???

My fiance and I applied for a fiance visa back in February 2006. In July our case was approved and the paperwork was forwarded to the UK (where he is immigrating from). This month (August) he had his medical exam, but we have not heard from the embassy yet in regards to an interview date. Does anyone know the time frame of when that should happen? Also, once he does have the interview, how long afterwards until he gets the visa and is able to finally be here in the US with me? Im hoping he'll be here by October 2006. Is that reasonable to think that or am I just being hopeful? Please help...I am growing impatient and would appreciate some guidance. Thanks in advance! :)

Why are people always sticking up for these people? I am so confused....some people think they have served their time so they should be free to do whatever they wish without conviction or judgement of others. They are never cured of their sicko thoughts!!!!!!!!!! hello

Anytime you do not agree with a pro illegal, you are a racist. Can't they think of anything else to say? Aren't they racist towards REAL Americans?
Gimmie a break!
Pro illegals, you have misused the term racist to the point of it becoming totally meaningless.

This doesn't happen in Brazil.

WILL THE ILLEGAL WHO STOLE MY DONKEY PLEASE RETURN IT?

ok, in american history class, we visited a website that talked about the possibility of the U.S. conspiring and that we actually did hit the pentagon ourselves, not the indians/muslim people.
i was wondering if anybody knew the wesbite?
it has a really good video and points out things like how the plane looks like it has no wings, and that the local gas station that has a video camera on its roofhas the video taken away by the CIA.
please nobody get mad, i'm not saying that we did it, but i was interested in finding the website again.
any help would be appreciated. =]

my brother and some of his friends a couple of days ago went and got some eggs and went egging. they hit a couple of cars. they were caught on camera and everything.

can he go to juvi for this? i don't want him to. it was just something that went from being funny to way out of control.

i think that if it wasn't for the one guys dad that his son doesn't like my brother at all and my brother tries to be nice to him didn't step in it might be different...

now the same night someone went spray painting cars and other thigns and used sugar and flour......can they say my brother did this too?

That's almost a quarter of a million miles per minute. Whoa.

4000 miles per second -- the speed of projectiles fired from a "Metal Storm" weapon. This is radically heavy firepower.

Anyone else watching Discovery tonight? "Future Weapons" ???

How do we define ourselves as Americans.. Truly, its almost impossible nowdays to identify what an American really is.. The reason is our diversity.. To many ethnic groups diversify America and splits our decisions.. It is a huge reason for debates in politics and war, such as the one in Iraq.. We cant shun the muslim community because they are a part of us, and because of that the Muslim community will outrage and be displeased with the war(this is just an example).. If you think back to WW2 there were protests to our involvment but none to such scale is it would now.. Its because we no longer no what an American really is.. Thats why the country is being torn apart.. We've lost our sense of who we are and our country.. We have to tried to abolish all connections with god in our government.. This country was founded under god and yet we are trying to change it due to the dipleasure of other ethnic groups.. Im not racist, just wondering what you think of this

My neighbor blasts loud music at midnight, and I called a police many times; but the neighbor turns off the music every time when the police comes, and since I do not have any physical evidence for the noise at the police's presence, police disregards the problem.

Additionally, the neighbor pounds/hits a wall really loud and strongly at random time

I would deeply appreciate if you would give me any ideas to record the noise made by the neighbor.

Thank you very much!
