Everyone likes to complain about Starbucks, but they are a better company than most.

PLEASE DO NOT SHOP AT WALMART. Everything from Walmart is made in China. Buy locally made goods and products. It is cheaper than devaluing the dollar to nothing and being China's b*tch. Use your money as power and buy from companies that support American workers, the environment, and your health.

I NEVER go to Walmart. I buy wonderful quality items secondhand. I own the best clothing out of everyone I know. I own items that are sold at Nordstroms and Sacks. I have better furniture than all of my friends and coworkers. I have durable heavy leather sofas. I bought all of these things for the price of cheap CRAP from Walmart if I had bought it there new.

I shop at thrift shops, antique stores, Craigslist, and ebay. I do occasionally buy something new and I make sure it is made in the US or at least not made in China.

My family just gets by and we spend less without going to Walmart. I don't understand the logic when people say they stretch their dollar... On what? Cheap picture frames? Lava lamps? Plastic toys laced with lead? Sam's Club crackers and Ramen noodles?

There is nothing that I need at Walmart so I would be WASTING money to go there. For the quality of what you are buying it is not a deal at all. I eat organic foods and cook at home so buying my groceries there is not an option either. Since I don't go out to eat I spend less and can continue to shop at Trader Joes.

I hate the O'Reilly Factor, but I am smart enough to know that he doesn't believe everything he spouts out for Fox News. Bill O is getting paid to be an attack dog. I would say whatever the teleprompter said for $10 million a year. Having watched his show, this was a mild mannered interview with the intent of broadening his base and no winning a debate. He would never say he is an anarchist on Fox News. I think this is the real Bill O and he raises several decent points. I would likely believe that he isn't even against gay marriage anyways.

If I am tight on money it is too expensive to go to McDonalds. I haven't been there in 5 years. You people need to know what is in your food. I would eat an avocado or a banana for the same price as that processed frankenburger. The choice is there. Stop making excuses for pouring junk into your body. I CAN SMELL PEOPLE WHO EAT MCDONALDS! They smell salty, maybe a bit like bologna and fries. Add in the cost of copayments to your 99 cent burger and the real cost is much higher.

The same reason Walmart is doing so well. If f*cking retarded Americans had any common sense they would never go to Walmart or McDonalds again. It is getting harder to find real food or quality prodaucts made in our own country.
