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.

I do have 2 games to finish, so I will hang around until then. But my decision is definite and I will be gone within a few weeks.

Go on, Sbyvl. Move to a forum where everyone will agree with you. That's a very, very good way to open your mind and educate yourself.

It is Anti-Catholic. For displaying Catholic beliefs I am called everything from a troll to a liar to a Nazi. Not only that, but my mental state has been questioned as well. I was completely honest.

Nazi Coward, I think you're a piece of shit for being an ill-educated crackpot.

Its got nothing to do with your Catholicism.(and I doubt if most Catholics would want to claim you as one of them).

I know you've got a persecution complex, but the "poor little me" routine is a bit of a reach for you.

@ Sybvl: "I said it has socialist policies. Stop misquoting me."

@everyone but Sbyvl - is he a nazy or a communist or an ortodox catholic or a socialist? Or all of this at the same time?
Or he's just a lunatic? Or he's just a genius seeking for idiots by posting anything to get an attention from idiots?
Aren't all of you who participated his threads a lot bigger idiots then you think he is, having been answering all his idiotic theories (as you described it)?
Doesn't that make all of you double sized retards when you are confroting a retard (as you call him one)?

It's true though, Sbyvl.

There are conservatives on this site who don't get shit like you do.
There are Catholics on this site who don't get shit like you do.
There are conservative Catholics who don't get any shit at all.

It's not your beliefs that put people off, it's the way you express them.


I'll miss you though. God knows who is going to rise to the challenge to be the resident conservatard after you're gone. Somebody much much worse, no doubt.

Anyway we are not anti-catholic as a site. Few of us probably are, others are pro-communist and others are just anti-stupid people, and then there are trolls as well.
All of those are anti- Sbyvl.

Can't blame us though, since you are homophobic, anti-communist, anti-logics and anti-Pagan, to name a few.
