I never said Walmart supports NAMBLA. I said would those who disagree with the actions of the AFA might have an issue with Walmart if they catered to NAMBLA. What if Walmart said they would send 5% of the proceeds of online purchases through the NAMBLA website to the NAMBLA office? Would you support Walmart if they had a similar agreement with NAMBLA?
It all has to do with individual degrees of tolerance. Many social conservatives have reached their tolerance level for what they find acceptable from Walmart. Others here, such as yourself, haven't reached that level.
Many also understand that Walmart supports other groups, groups with which they might agree. But that doesn't mean they should continue supporting Walmart.
Maybe AFA should just sign up with WalMart's affiliate program and get the same type commission deal going with them.
I have never looked into WM's affiliate program, as I am no longer doing that type of website business, but this programs are so prolific it would make your head spin. some are not worth wasting time with, others are excellent.......but the fine print needs to be read for qualifying for all of them.
But they don't, and NAMBLA is an organization that promotes extremely serious, illegal acts, where this organization doesn't (at least not to my knowledge).
Using NAMBLA as an example serves mainly to compel an emotional response, not a rational one. It's a method commonly used by liberals because appealing to people rationally doesn't usually suit their purposes.
I don't see people on this thread saying that they support CCBLBT. My guess is that most do not support them.
It all has to do with individual degrees of tolerance.
Back to trying to invoke an emotional response.
Many social conservatives have reached their tolerance level for what they find acceptable from Walmart.
Walmart has made far more of an effort to appeal to "social conservatives" than have their competitors. Walmart only sells versions of music CDs that have had offensive language edited out.
There is almost always some scouting group, womans shelter, or charity group set up outside the Walmart near where I live selling overpriced items to earn money, or accepting donations. Walmart is very supportive of such groups.
I have seen Walmart directly support good organizations and do so more than other retailers, yet these groups almost always choose to attempt to boycott Walmart and indirectly give more support to those other retailers. It makes no rational sense.
There just seem to be alot of people out there that look for a reason to hate Walmart, but don't appear to care to hold their competitors to the same standard. Since these boycotts benefit those competitors, you would think that these groups would be concerned about who they are supporting. Instead they are always looking for some reason to boycott Walmart and don't worry about what the other retailers are doing.
Walmart makes more efforts to support moral causes than their competitors, and they also have done a considerable service to most consumers by driving down market prices and offering goods at low prices.
I just don't see a reason to prefer Walmart's competitors over them.
