Why should 5% of sales go to gay advocacy? Give me one good reason.

FTFA:

...Wal-Mart has made a deal with the Washington DC Center for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender People, agreeing to donate 5 percent of the sales made through the group's website to the Center.

I know this may be a little too complex for you tiny little mind to grasp, but Walmart is not donating 5% of all sales to gay advocay.

They are paying a 5% commission on sales made through some gay group's website.

It's a standard business arrangement. They do the same thing with countless other groups.

Learn to read, Bozo.

i agree with the poster you are responding to.

So you're a psychic too?

I will do more shopping at Wal-Mart if what I read about them using the term Merry Christmas this season is true.

You have not given me a good reason, and you have agreed that 5% of sales go to gay advocacy.

I know it does not go to cancer advocacy, nor to spinal bifida support, nor to feeding the hungry. It goes to a DC advocate of GLBT lifesytles.

Now, who do you think the 5% goes to?

And who can read.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You are such an easy mark. The unions try to find some way to get you to hate Walmart and you go along with them like a brainless boob who never had an original thought in his life.

George W. Bush is the boogeyman, too. Run for your life, you useful idiot.

Answer the question:

Who does the money go to?

[newzjunkey]

You don't get it. It's only 5% on purchases made through a link on the gay advocacy group's website. Don't go there? They'll get nothing.

The 5% is just a referral reward.

This is like "affiliate" programs all throughout the internet.

I'm no great fan of Walmart but there's no sense spreading false info about this story.

The AFA says Wal-Mart should have remained neutral in the cultural battle over homosexual marriage.

Right, as if AFA would have stood for mere neutrality!
