Hey, that sounds like a new fashion trend.  I think I'll jump on the band wagon.

walmart is censoring rappers cds porbably beacuse they have the right to decide wther or not they want to sell a prodcut depending on the values they have. Porbably they don't like the lyrics or do not agree with them so they will not sell a prodcut that they are againt eventough they could loose sales they still hold their position and sell what they think its right,

No, they are not affiliated in the past or the present.\n\nLowes began in 1921, when L.S. Lowe opens a hardware store in the town of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina.\n\nWalmart began in 1962 when Sam Walton and his brother J.L. opened their first Wal-Mart Discount City in Rogers, Arkansas. \n\nThey began in different places and they have not even been merged or in any sort of affiliations.

It's a bad idea.  Yet it makes a great point in alerting the public to a corporate structure that seems to be taking over every country it can gain access to.  Perhaps Wal-mart is owned by the government & they just want it to look like a private enterprise?  Things that make ya go hmmm!  :o)

Absolutely not.\n\nhttp://www.walmartmovie.com/\n\nYou want an explaination - go to that site and get a copy of that movie. You will never shop at Wal-Mart again.\n\nWal-Mart does not create jobs - it creates more cases of unemployement. It forces other businesses, especially locally owned businesses, to close because they cannot compete with Wal-Mart. Sure, they hire a bunch of people when a store opens, but because they are putting other businesses out of business the unemployement rate stays the same.\n\nAnd a local business cannot just lower their prices to compete with Wal-Mart. It's not that easy. Wal-Mart gets HUGE government funding to build their stores and keep their business running, but the little guy, the small business owner isn't allowed such luxuries.\n\nWal-Mart has also been very bad about hiring illegal immigrants - taking jobs away from American citizen living in communities. And whatever you've been told - not all Walmart products are made in the U.S.A. They pay a lot of Chinese workers next to nothing to produce goods for their stores.\n\nAnd did you know... there is an employee emergency relief fund that Wal-Mart has created for their employees and their employees have given MILLIONS of dollars to this fund, but the owners of Wal-Mart, the Waltons, who are billionaires, gave only $6,000 in one year.\n\nMost Wal-Mart employees are not well paid. Most of them can't even afford to enroll in the company's health insurance program. What does Wal-Mart tell them to do? They are refered to government funded programs. So the taxes you pay from your job help Wal-Mart employees get health care - it sounds noble and all, but it is money that could be spent on more important things like education, but since Wal-Mart doesn't want to give their employees affordable health care the American public pays for it instead.\n\nThese are just a few reasons.\n\nhttp://www.walmartmovie.com/\n\nWatch it.\n\nWal-Mart was NOT made by a black guy and why would that make it any better or worse?

:}\nif this address materialism in general\nThen I think all companies that use Christianity soly for economic reasons are wrong, that would include walmart.\n\nIf you think walmart is the only company that would use Christianity to economic advantage I think you are wrong\n\nand no I do not believe that Walmart will control all buying or even a significant portion of it.

It's not all of them.  Just some of the zealots that try to start trouble by attempting to trick us.\n\nNow, your question should have been, why can't they understand that there is more to the holiday season than Christmas (Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, etc.) and let places like Wal-Mart just recognize them all by saying Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays.  Those particular people are just trying to push their religious holiday on others...and frankly, it's not very Christmas like...

Sorry,\nI used to be a wal-mart boycotter.\nBut, they sell the some stuff cheaper than Costco and Sam's Club, both of which you have to be a member of.\n\nThey sell name brand sundry items, and usually it is a great deal.  In the name of saving money , why not shop there.  The  lawsuits are probably mostly locals trying to keep them out of their area.  And also from employees trying to get MORE money than they are worth.  I would guess Wal-Mart is the "target" of more lawsuits, and unfortunately, most of them are frivelous.  \n\nWith the advent of the internet and online shopping, people are prooving they want their items cheap.  Local companies don't want to be pushed out of their 'market'.  I used to feel for the local businesses, but after being screwed too many times by them, I lost interest in trying see their side.

Yes, I have noticed and I agree that we should let these posers have their opinions and tell them where they can stuff them.  Most of the people that seem to care what the posers think are the left wing fascists (liberals)

Bottom line MONEY.  The UFCW will tell you time and time again it's for the benefit of the Walmart employees, but that's a blatant lie.  It's for the benefit of the UFCW management.\n\nIf WalMart Employees wanted a union, they could form a powerful union on their own.  The major problem with this issue, if you increase costs to Walmart, you increase prices of products, you reduce your market share, and then the jobs start going away.  That's probably the reality the Walmart Employees understand.

If someone should know this answer why would they tell you.  Obviously they would be working for Walmart.  I'm in Arkansas home of Walmart and I have a feeling you won't get your answer.  People are very loyal in Arkansas to the Waltons.

I’m sure it does affect their sales somewhat. All retail outlets censer what they allow in their stores by choosing which products to put on their shelves and which to not whether for moral or economic reasons. They also do not sell porn videos at Wal-Mart, so you could say that they (and other retailers), some by law and some by choice, have been censoring content in their stores for moral reasons.  Is it worse or better for society to have access to these items...it doesn't matter, this is a retail store and they choose what is sold there based on their beliefs and culture of the corp. involved that best suits their business needs.

I am a fan of WalMart.  There are two where I live.  Many people say they hate WalMart, but I sometimes see those people shopping there.\nOne WalMart has everything including groceries, the other doesn't sell groceries or have a auto shop, it just sells parts and oil and cleaning supplies for autos.\n\nIn the both stores they sell clothes for men, women and children.  They sell shoes. They sell fabric, yarn and craft supplies.  They sell toys, plants for indoors or garden & supplies.\nThey sell outdoor furniture and some indoor furnishings, like curtains, linens, shelves, lamps, electronics, etc.  They have pharmacies.\n\nThe people who work there are pleasant and personable.  WalMarts give money to local charities.  After the Katrina hurricane, they got clean water and food to people faster than the government, and re-opened and gave people jobs.\n\nIn the newspaper today there was an article on how WalMart is using waste oil for heat, has tried to use solar energy, is using wind power to make electricty to for their stores.\n\nI hope this is what you are looking for.\nLink to green schemes story:\nhttp://www.cantonrep.com/topFive.php?vote=5&Headline=Wal-Mart+%27Green%92+Trials+and+%28Some%29+Errors&ID=319217&Category=5

Not much. I live within 30 miles of the Wal-Mart HQ. Wal-Mart pretty much controls the companies, not the other way around.
