You choose the debate.

Choose something to debate about!
This excludes the unresolveable.

I'll disagree just for sake of argument!

But pls don't pigeon hole me into something that is impossible to defend.
(P.S. I'm had a few drinks)

I has some brandy and sam's cola, ^.^;;
You know, I figured out that I don't ever have to go to the store unless I want perishable items like fresh meat, because wal-mart delivers everything to me for free!

I don't think that debating about debating is fruitful.

I tend to disagree, debating about what to debate about can turn into the greatest subject to debate about ever.

Debating about debating defeats the debate and instead throws out a red herring to sidetrack the audience from the topic at hand . . .

Lol, now let's talk about how Walmart had destroyed the small mom and pop stores and has created an open door for Chinese products to get dumped into our country we save a penny but at what cost

That's true, it is definitely harder for an entrepreneur to start up a new business in the face of such giants, but they became such giants by offering the best prices. So what is the other costs, in your opinion, that people pay for such convenience and cheap prices?

The cost is our planet IMO. We buy cheap plastic products made to throw away instead of good long lasting products.

I think that our capitalist society is built in a way that the best/cheapest/most efficient company is going to rise to the top, the name of the company means little imo. So if it isn't Wal-mart, then it would be someone else.

I don't know that mom and pop stores are any different. They are all looking to maximize profits one way or another.
Consider this: How many people does your local Wal-Mart employ and give jobs to in comparison to the local mom and pop shop?

Yes they employ many part time workers with no insurance or benefits and most of them spend the checks at the store they work...

Yeah, we shouldn't have, but in all honesty, we chose it with our buying habits, so it is the consumers to blame, because the are they ones who elevated the businesses to such heights.
