This is a values question . . . While walking through Wal Mart I noticed several t-shirts for sale in the children's department with slogans such as "I refuse to do homework" or "Too cute to work." Considering that Wal-Mart is the largest retailer inside the United States, what does this say about our youth culture? What does this say about the parents who purchase such shirts? Keep in mind, Wal-Mart routinely refuses to carry music with offensive lyrics and blocks magazine covers with sheets of plastic if the cover is deemed to "racy." I thought it was an intersting economic statement . . . how about you?

I think 60% of the people that shop at Walmart refused to do home work or thought that they were too cute to work. That is why they are shopping at walmart. And that is why there kids will end up shopping at walmart also.

It's just a shirt and it's cute. If parents do their job then it doesn't matter what Walmart or any other store sells. These are the types of shirts( not those but those kinds) I would buy my son. He's not lazy or stupid just a Marine serving in Iraq. Sometimes a shirt is just a shirt, there is no sense reading something into everything.

In my generation we wore shirts with arrows that said "i'm with stupid" --- now a days that would be considered demeaning and offensive.
T-shirt slogans will come and go - the bottom line is parenting and values. Since those two things have gone to crap I seriously doubt a T-shirt is what's causing so many young adults and children to be obnoxious, spoiled, entitled monsters.

I have a worse one than that.
I was in the mall on Sunday and saw a couple with their 8 or 9 year old prostitot wearing a shirt that proclaimed her to be an "Apprentice Porn Star"

Better than the kids buying shirts at mall stores with the "f" word or other obscenities

I think that it's pound your head against the wall stupid that a company that buys its merchandise from countries that use child labor sells kids shirts that say "Too Cute to Work."

It is our youth culture. We have spoiled the little $hits so bad they think everyone owes them. As far as wal-mart? I don't care what they sell. Parents don't have to buy.
