  Gregor, call me an elitist all you want. I make no apologies for my opinion, just as you have a right to yours. Americans have gotten fat, slovenly and lazy. Hence our children are consuming weight loss medication at an alarming rate.

  Poor is poor, but there is no excuse for filthiness. I don’t care how poor one is, soap is cheap. Thus I make my tongue in cheek analogy of “Wal-Mart feet”. BTW, we’ve been poor and may again be given the state of today’s economy. Poor is not a dirty word.

  I do believe that the whole Wal-Mart mentality is indicative of the economic problems we face today. Read about the man (Snapper lawn mowers) who said no to Wal-Mart. We’ve become so enthralled at the absolute bottom line lowest price but fail to really count the cost of the throw away mentality. Is that lower Wal-Mart priced drill really the same one you saw elsewhere, or is it a Wal-Mart built exclusive? You might be surprised.

  Wal-Mart has crawled to the top on the on the backs of great hard working people. And yes they do provide some benefits. But ask that Wal-Mart worker who would like to go full time in order to receive those elusive benefits about the fight for full time status. I did. Happy staff does not seek union representation.

  Our put your money where your mouth is philosophy. We may not always be able to afford this, but we’ll go down trying. Our staff member programs:

  100% company contributed profit sharing plan – no staff member contribution required.

  100% company paid life and health insurance plan after one month of service. We want staff members healthy. After insurance starts we encourage each member to have a check up. If they can’t afford the co-pay for the visit, we’ll pay it.

  After one year of service, a staff member can apply to purchase a company vehicle that is being retired. We’ll finance the loan at no interest for two years.

  My soap box is now closed. Enjoy your Wal-mart day.

  Not a Walmart supporter either. It's a stop of last resort and I will drive out of my way not to shop there.

  Their religious trumping of the Walmart cheer seems far too reminiscent of dub land. Always right at any cost and don't doubt us.

  I'm also much appalled at the dress of people shopping there. Why is it that Americans think others care to look at their soiled jeans, underwear, t-shirts, tank tops, etc.? Take a bath people.

  I've now developed my own rating system for Walmart shoppers. "The Walmart feet" > on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the worst. Rate the dirty feet of the shopper next to you. You won't shop again at Walmart without looking for "Walmart feet". Barf bags not included.

  Question for any electricians or DIY people - help appreciated

  ok - i was doing some work on a circuit board (actually, it was a cd drive) and basically it all went badly wrong.

  i was trying to modify the circuit by soldering pins to the copper on the board, but before i did that i had to scrape away the protective layer on top.

  unfortunately, i scraped too hard and damaged the copper badly.

  you will notice that in both these km articles they say the cbs is "a loving arrangement from jehovah".

  if that is the case it begs the question: .

  what right have they to stop it?

  In times past the Bethel CIA (aka Service Department) under the direction of Ted "The Boss" has had a fecal hemmorhage if any department other than Service communicated directly with the congregations. Could the letter's coming directly from the GB imply that Ted was against this change and is being slapped in the ego by the new boys in the regime?

  JW Necklaces

  london, england.

  jehovah's necklaces17/02/2008nurses are calling for jehovah's witnesses to wear special bracelets and necklaces so they won't be given "sinful" blood transfusions by mistake.. most of britain's 125,000 witnesses carry pocketsized cards declaring their religious beliefs.

  but nurses say that in an emergency there may be no time to check a patient's pockets.. the royal college of nursing have urged the watchtower society, which represents the witnesses, to ask members to wear the bracelets or necklaces.. .

  This will receive a quick No..No from the Bethel CIA, AKA Service Department. We all know that neck chains or necklaces do not meet the Bethel standard per the Dwelling Together booklet handed out to all incoming Bethelites. This type of dress is directly in imitation of the homosexual lifestyle; whatever that is. In addition Bethelites are not to leave the Bethel homes wearing such things as in-line skates, as these too are woooooorldlyyyyyy; nor are sisters working in areas viewed by the public to wear slacks... modest dresses only must be worn while kneeling down to scrub those toilet floors.

  Oh boy here they go again.

  I like my music to sooth me, not agitate, so I tend to things from the likes of George Winston, Jim Brickman, Earl Klugh and others of similar vain.

  Don't try "Singing Kingdom Songs" you'll have an all night head banger.
