One could say that that flag is tainted.

I’m sure there are plenty of uses for it. Keeping oil off your driveway when you change your oil, wiping up dog pee, starting fires...lots of uses.

Counterpoint: it’s not even appropriate for that.

I’d feel bad that my shit has to come so close to a figurative piece of shit.

So much for the tolerant cleft

Even Robert E. Lee thought that symbols of the Confederacy were a bad idea.

 I won’t say a hero, ‘cause, what’s a hero?

Lost my train of thought here...

It was vandalism when it was erected. This was corrective action.

Sometimes there’s a man... I won’t say a hero, ‘cause, what’s a hero? But sometimes, there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right in there.

Well, yeah, it is vandalism, so of course the people responsible would need to pay a fine or do some community service or something, right. I wouldn’t think this’d be a felony, and the evidence is really clear, so this shouldn’t take too long to resolve.

All currencies are a construct of human perception. The value of gold, paper money, this lint I have in my pocket, it’s all relative in value to what we can (for the most part) agree on. Bitcoin is no different. Its more abstract and newer therefore harder to establish consistency and uniformily agreed upon value… I…

While I do think it poor that the picture taker sent it only to the Walmart HQ and didnt bring it to the attention of the local store general manager, calling out stupidity where it exists is quite appropriate. Walmart took appropriate action, but as Sobchak Security has been posting, its also poor how/where Walmart…

I doubt most of the people here are offended. They just think this makes Wal-Mart look stupid.

The 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms, but not to put up Back to School signage to promote them as a Back to School item. If the NRA becomes outraged, then they need to be checked.

How long before the NRA expresses outrage over the removal of the sign as a suppression of 2nd Amendment rights.

Easily. And I like how the Wal Mart official says they’re “investigating how it could have happened”, like the store manager discovered an ancient type of dark magic or alien technology or some other shit.

Not nearly as much as they regret customers taking issue with it, obviously.

Well they certainly shot themselves in the foot with this one...

100% a store employee thought this would be an amusing joke.
