Thanks LZ.

Mr. Jonathan Ball should probably look into Swiss history a little more.

I think you should look into it in the first place,
whiner. It's obvious you never have.

Whiner? Is that the best you can muster? Tell your girlfriend or your
boyfriend to give you a tap upside the head with a cast iron frypan.
You're really in need.

Actually, idiot, I've spent a bit of time there myself. Unlike you,
however, I had my eyes opened to their history and place in the world.

You were an exchange student living in luxury in the Zurich or Geneva?
Did an poor little banking family take you in for your junior year?
How's your senior year going?

No, I'm not "economically illiterate," I just don't have my head up my
ass, like you do. You are obviously a brainwashed fool who would
deliberately destroy America with your idiotic theories about
economics, theories that have absolutely no basis in reality.

I'll leave you now so you can worship at the altar of "comparative
advantage."

But you might want to give the collum below a read when you are done
saying your prayers to the gods of free trade. It may be
enlightening.

Notice he didn't bother to refute the article you posted.

Must be one of those tinkle down guys who thinks money should be
bestowed on only those who earn it the old fashioned way, through a
trust fund.

That's stupid thinking. Why do you really care where
it's made? Borders are arbitrary. For things that are
made in the U.S., do you care that they're made in your
state? For things that are made in your state, do you
care that they're made in your county?


Stupid thinking?

Yes: stupid thinking.

I care where products are made because I want Americans
who need manufacturing jobs

No Americans "need" manufacturing jobs.


Really? Well, at this point, it is obvious you are so detached from
reality that nothing further you post is worth a look.

WTF is "documentable education"? I know a lot of people who have degrees
who can't tie their shoelaces. Education is by NO means an indicator of
intelligence. Many degrees are merely certificates of attendance. Or
merely those bestowed by The Mighty Wizard.

Mr. Jonathan Ball should probably look into Swiss history a little more.

It's pretty clear they're a mercantile lot living under the
misperception of neutrality.

The Jewish people are just one of many who've been stolen from and then
stiff armed by Swiss banking laws. There are folks around the globe
who've been screwed by creeps, thugs and the like whose ill-gotten gains
are "protected" by the Swiss banking system.

It's a pretty country hiding some of the ugliest secrets in the world.

Ball probably is very young,

No. $50 says I'm older and have more documentable
education than you, putz.

very smug,

Hardly. The correct term is self confident. I am self
confident, you are smug. Older, wiser people like me
know the difference.

Allow me to suggest your self-confidence is unearned.


inexperienced in the reality of the world

No.

and likely believes the holocaust was a myth.

No.

This guy is a loudmouthed fool whose references are as paper thin as
whatever foreskins he's got. Ask him about Switzerland or the
Employment Policy Foundation and you'll find him a font of
misinformation.

You know he's an idiot if he thinks he's older and has more education
than Harry! ;^)

That's right. *I* am the ancient mariner.

A real store would've moved those women out of the line, and perhaps
even
called the police. Not WM, though. As far as they're concerned,
their
customers' time is worthless.


You can't put the blame on that type of behavior squarely on the
shoulders of Wal-Mart exclusively. Many other department stores work
in
the same way. Any time you have a store which attracts a clientele
which
is not "bloomingdales" quality, you employ people at or near minimum
wage, and do not offer line managers any incentive to do any more than
babysit the employees, you will get this sort of situation. I've been
in
similar situations (I always end up picking the worst line) in grocery
stores as well as department stores.

Dave



I have, too. In the "other" store I shop at, the cashier's blinking
light
would've gone on and a manager or security person would've been there in
30
seconds. Not Wal Mart, though.

Again, it's probably a local thing, and not something endemic to the
Walmart business plan.



Something else interesting about the WM near me: You know how you hear a
gentle beep from some cash registers each time an item is dragged across
the
scanner? At WM, they've connected that to the public address system at
the
front. Unbelievably loud and annoying. WTF? This is supposed to make the
place sound interesting?

What? You've got to be kidding. That would drive me nuts if I had to
listen to that for hours on end....

Dave



I kid you not. At first, I wondered if my 50 year old hearing had begun to
lose some of its directional sensitivity. But, last time I was at WM, my 14
yr old son & two friends were with me. They focused on the sources and sure
enough, it was coming from the PA system. You know the 120 decibel French
fry timers at McDonalds? Lower the level a bit, but multiply by however many
registers are beeping.


That's nuts! What possible legitimate use could that possibly have?

25 years ago, when I worked at a factory, they had tone paging over the
PA. When you worked second shift, and it was quiet, you really started
noticing those annoying beep-beep-beeps every few minutes. One night the
maintenance crew left a lift in our area. Needless to say, we climbed up
there and cut the wires to the speaker, so that we could open the
connection at night, and then reconnect it again for the day shift.

I know how annoying those sounds can be. I can't imagine having to hear
that at close range for any length of time.

I'm not sure what you're having trouble believing, but perhaps things like

What "you think" is irrelevant. It's clear that you think little at all
and would rather just catergorize and demonize all those who disagree
with you.

If I were to adopt your "style" I could say that you seem to be a very
young, naive and somewhat taken to embellishment, as the stories that
you tell are rarely verifiable, and the idealogy that you embrace is the
sort of utopian idealist attitude usually reserved for someone who never
had to earn a living. Sort of like those Hollywood liberals.

How do you know what Harry REALLY has. You only have his word for it.
And well, quite frankly, history will show that Harry isn't the most
honest person around......

For all you know, Harry could be a Wal-Mart manager.

I think you've spent too much of your life reading Ayn Rand and taking
it seriously. You're really quite the smug, arrogant ass.

Assuming that this statement is true. What gives you the authority to
declare that Ayn Rand is wrong? What makes your opinion any more valid?
Sounds like a bit of smug arrogance on your part.

When you finally figure this out, you'll hopefully understand why you
are little more than the flip side to the same coin.....
