Oook, you're going to have to refresh my memory here, what exactly were we talking about last year?

I vaguely remember something with Target and how we should "boycott those french assholes" and how you got all pissy when I pointed out that Target was, in fact, not french but from Ohio, is that what you were talking about?

I said boycott due to not giving donations to local charities, and you said it was a myth, blah blah blah....

Ohhh right, it was over this.

As oppposed to this, which seems to be what you're referring to now.

So what was your point again?

[SEVENSGT]

local charities was my point, they don't give to local charities

All of these stories about Target are bullshit. They let the salvation army stand in front of there stores. They never turned away veterans and the give billions of dollars each year to local and national charities. Sorry for the rant but I hate hearing bullshit like this. I worked there for 2 years, and all these stories are bullshit. You can opt to have them take some money out of your paycheck each week to charities. They are around number one for most giving retailer.

Unfortunately, the salvation army thing is true. It's been all over the radio and whatnot, and you can see the link to snopes that confirms it. I can see their side to the story, but it's still a load of bad PR for target any way you slice it.

However, none of that makes the bullshit that was being spread about Target last year any more true, or any less sensational. My major problem with the whole thread was the cries of "Damn that french corporation, let's boycott those frogs", which came at the height of anti-french sentiment in this country. Regardless of how stupid I think anti-french sentiment is (very), that didn't change the fact that Target is still not a french corporation, nor ever has been. It's really a shame that I can't pull up the original thread in the archives since the CT went away, because it was really funny and showed everyone how wicked smart and awesome I am

But since I can't do that, oh well, I guess I better fess up. Sevens, you sly dog, you've caught me in my web lies, lo these many months later. My beloved Target...reviled. Those Vietnam Veterans who I hate so...vindicated. My tiny, fragile ego...shattered. Ima go cry now

Hehe you know I just like to argue, don't worry you'll have another chance to break all my bones one of these days

Past threads aside, the whole Salvation Army thing seems like it coulda been handled in a better way, you can't buy that kind of bad publicity, whatever their intentions were

The French suck. They are NOT our allies, they are nothing more than islamofacist sympathizers. (how much $$ did they receive again from the oil-for-food program, begotten on the backs of the Iraqi people?) It's unfortunate that Chirac didn't get his head blown off a year or two ago by the 'would-be-assailant'. Asshole.
