Think about it, though. They shop at wal mart in boston looking for birth control after getting nailed the night before. How could they not be sluts?
It doesn't matter if they are "sluts" or not. That's why there's a fallacy named for that line of argumentation.BurlyShirley said:Think about it, though. They shop at wal mart in boston looking for birth control after getting nailed the night before. How could they not be sluts?
Actually, no I don't think it was that cool to simply transfer the offending pharmacists. In effect, Walmart was conceding that the law said the pharmacists have to sell birth control, but that they didn't disagree with those who refused to sell it. So, they simply shipped off the pharmacists to locations where they would be "legally" able to deny birth control to people.LordOpie said:It's ironic that Wal-Mart is on the other side of this same issue in Illnois...
We discussed some phamacists refusing to sell this same drug in IL and Wal-Mart firing them for breaking the law. While I hate WM, they were cool in offering a transfer for these phamacists to a state where the law isn't applicable.
Wow, that's some stunning rhetoric you've got going on there.BurlyShirley said:Shut up pvssy. They're sluts. They deserve to be railed and given cab fare. Thats all.
I don't take it like that, in fact, I suspect WM was just trying to avoid a lawsuit by them.Old Man G Funk said:Actually, no I don't think it was that cool to simply transfer the offending pharmacists.

Yeah, I know Burly's probably just trying to get my goat and/or throw out some platitudes that he/she/it thinks is funny, but since it's already been out there, I thought I would give him/her/it the benefit of the doubt that he/she/it wasn't trying to recreate a joke that was already old.fluff said:That hook's gotta sting...
If I didn't know about Walmart's other "business decisions" in the moral realm, I'd be more willing to believe that might be the case. As it is though I'm as hard pressed to believe that as I am that not stocking the morning after pill is strictly a "business decision."LordOpie said:I don't take it like that, in fact, I suspect WM was just trying to avoid a lawsuit by them.
And yet, he/she/it is still going....BurlyShirley said:Lets think about this:
Chicks in Boston: as a rule, pretty slutty
Chicks at Wal Mart: White trash
Chicks looking for morning after pill: Obviously sexually active
Chicks at wal mart in BOSTON: Slutty as hell
In answer to your first question, I don't know.LordOpie said:I guess the question is, is this a Federal or State issue?
How about this... any pharmacy that carries any contraception should be required to carry the morning-after pill? I mean, isn't it a moral/religious issue? Isn't contraception the same kind of "wrong" as the pill?
OK, now you are finally starting to be humorous.BurlyShirley said:You're just jealous because Im black, and therefor superior to you in every way. Including penis length, that is, if I were male.
is that some kind of racial attack, white devil?Old Man G Funk said:OK, now you are finally starting to be humorous.
Is that why they wont sell CD's with curse words? For more money?Echo said:I think it's funny that suddenly people have decided that Walmart has morals
Walmart cares about one thing: making money. NOTHING ELSE.
Are CD's with curse words immoral? Hell, they sell DVD's with curse words. I think their CD policy is just based on stupidity, not morals.BurlyShirley said:Is that why they wont sell CD's with curse words? For more money?
Walmart customers are probably in general the most likely to seek the morning after pill. Must be a small margin on those suckers.BurlyShirley said:It may be stupidity, but it doesnt jive with the "they only care about making money" bit. They do it to portray the image of a "family store" which may or may not help them attract more business, but I suspect the morning after pill is a similar situation.
Or, WM doesn't want to erode their customer base :devil:Echo said:Walmart customers are probably in general the most likely to seek the morning after pill. Must be a small margin on those suckers.
Ladies and gentlemen, Opie has uncovered the truth.LordOpie said:Or, WM doesn't want to erode their customer base :devil:
People have many different reasons for disliking Walmart and/or the experience of shopping there, a search of the RM forums should provide plenty of examples.fluff said:What's wrong with shopping at Wal-Mart? Enlighten a foreigner.

When I end up hopping over the big pond Walmart is the first place I wanna go. I have to experience Amerikaland in all its 350lb tracksuit pants barefoot glory. I get this horrible feeling though that it's going to be remarkably similar to what I'd see in Australia.Echo said:People have many different reasons for disliking Walmart and/or the experience of shopping there, a search of the RM forums should provide plenty of examples.
-- general population of white trash in the store at any given timeLordOpie said:-- business practices screwing small vendors.
-- firing employees who ask for health or other benefits.
-- unfair competition putting small shops out of business.
Maybe. But from what I remember of Australia (admittedly I was drunk the whole 6 weeks I was there) it was one big party with hot chicks everywhere.valve bouncer said:When I end up hopping over the big pond Walmart is the first place I wanna go.

The reality is much like that but the chicks really aren't that hot. Staying drunk was a good move...Echo said:Maybe. But from what I remember of Australia (admittedly I was drunk the whole 6 weeks I was there) it was one big party with hot chicks everywhere.
Usually stoned as well. Actually I think you lot drink more than us but your beer is better so I can understand that.fluff said:Really?I am so surprised...
Fortunately, most monkeys have enough money to keep their ethics and shop elsewhere. Besides, we have a similar store here called Target. They're only a little more money and aren't as scummy.fluff said:But they're cheap, right?
