Short Story of the Day

Hi! I am starting a new thread where I will post a new short story each day this week (each business day, anyway). I am hoping people will read and (if inclined) discuss the stories.

So, the following is my first forum discussion in the intro to business practice...

The topic of this forum thread was "Is Wal-Mart's business practices good or fair? Both or neither?"

the liberals will probably like my response and the conservatives hate it, but I think it will be an interesting discussion for us here and I got to refer back to a HuffPo article listed here sometime back. So COOL!

Of Twerking and Terrible, Terrible Pop Songs--What Do We Pay Attention To?

So until today I was blissfully unaware of what the VMAs even were, let alone (Facebook jokes aside) what happened there with a certain Ms. Cyrus and...you know, forgoing all of...that (though really, WTF?!) I'd rather ask another question--assuming that most here likewise couldn't care less about Ms. Cyrus or Mr. Bieber or *Insert Pop Icon For the Masses Here*...what DO we care about, and why does the majority gravitate to these things we raise eyebrows at?

I will be leaving this site (for now)

There is a very obvious reason associated with this, specifically that we are discussing the same thing over and over again, and not getting anywhere. I certainly enjoyed my time on this forum, but now I am moving on to a Traditionalist Catholic forum (http://catholicforum.fisheaters.com) because it sounds like a fun trolling project and I can't let Sbyvl get away from me. If you wish to contact me, you can't, because phones didn't exist in 1625 and that's the time I live in.

Please don't join the Trad Catholic forum. They will ban you, as they don't tolerate Marxists.

Sybvl, I have a really important question. If the Trad Catholic forum doesn't tolerate Marxists, does that mean the Pope Emeritus, the recently resigned Pope Benedict, would be barred from joining? Only, you see, by your definition, he's a Marxist.

You have said that to support "any redistribution of wealth whatsoever" (quoting your words exactly) you are a Marxist. That would mean that Pope Benedict was a Marxist:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/16/pope-benedict-wealth-distribution_n_1154798.html

Do you agree that Pope Benedict would not be welcome on the Traditional Catholic forum, being a Marxist?

You have also said recently that centralisation or regulation of banks and financial systems is a Marxist policy. How do you therefore explain the fact that Vatican policy has recently supported such Marxism?

Trolling a forum of like-minded people doesn't appeal to me. It's our variety of personalities, political and religious differences, that makes this place my favorite fishing hole. Plus, as I'm not really known as a troll here, so when I do the occasional trolling, its like a sneak attack!

At the catholic forum it would just be harassing people.
