Again, you have no idea what 'honor' and 'honesty' mean. The timeline in THIS discussion was that you first made a claim similar to 'Wal-Mart only sells Chinese goods, Target and Meijers do not'. When I and at least one other pointed out that target and Mejiers also sell Chinese goods, THEN you said, 'well, I don't like the way Wal-Mart treats their employees'
So..its typical bask stepping, changing your argument on your part. I would argue that they do not sell 'sell mostly cheap products that are made overseas'. They sell a lot of quality goods. They sell quality electronic equipment, sporting goods, etc. Just because its made overseas, does not mean its cheap. (anyone want to bet that Eric says - 'well, I wasn't talking about those products, I was talking about other products'. Wal-mart is known, however, for offering most items for les money than just about anywhere else. I will admit that Wal-Mart's 'no frills' or 'store brand' stuff is, for the most part, cheap, but so are the 'no frills' or 'store brand' stuff from every other store. To me, the only differences between Wal-mart and Target are 1) the color of the store and 2) the packaging of the 'no frills' and 'store brand' products. Other than that, both stores pretty much sell the same things - same TVs, same video games, same books, same clothes, same everything else....
