Well, keep in mind, KK is quite a bit older than them. These are college freshmen aren't they?

Being retarded is kinda in the job description.

Haha, the only big debate I remember from first year English was about the role of women. The girl who sat ahead of me said she wanted nothing more in life than to be a housewife, it was her dream and goal, but her mother made her go to university instead.

I must have blacked out because I don't remember a thing after she said that.

American Libertarianism IS half retarded, no doubt. Defending Walmart with American Libertarianism is fully retarded. Tru' stoy.

In its "on paper" form, it is a good idea. Granted, that argument could be made for lots of other ideas, so I guess we won't waste our time on that, or on our personal opinions.

What I'm sayin' is, they are fundamentally flawed in what they're saying about America and Wal-Mart.

You know what I think it is? When you were a kid, what happened when you went to your mother and said "X isn't FAIR!"?

The response was, inevitably "That's life."

Now these people are adults (albeit young ones) and what's their responses to the NUMEROUS problems with Wal-Mart?

"That's life."

We have all literally been conditioned to respond to accusations of shenanigans with that dismissive non-argument, regardless of whether or not those accusations are justified.

Our brains are conditioned to equate the continuation of the status quo with maturity.
