yep, I always will shop any store over walmart. and I don't miss it. I know I pay aprox 10% more by shopping at the local Fred Meyer store but the service is 100 times better and if you are not satisfied with the product you can return it in about the same time it takes to make a purchase.


So true !

Even if we don't have Wallmart here, we have our own superstore that destroy local distribution...

Anarchist Cookbook, a bombmaking guide and general manual for mayhem, is available at Amazon.com for $29.96.  Not to mention it's all over the internet.  The Earth Liberation Front has information on building electrical bomb timers and various types of firebombs on its homepage.  Unless it's national security info, I don't think the government can do much to take it down, even if it's distributed domestically.

It's not available at Amazon.co.uk though, so maybe there's a legal difference coming into play there.

I think so Tarmac,  other countries have stricter laws in this regard then we do.  For better or worse I might add.

This does not constitute shoplifting per se. It DOES constitute fraud by artifice, burglary and theft by any definition you want to use in the legal statutes. Depending on the local (state) laws it could very easily be a felony and allow you to change your address to a state prison for multiples of years.

Any who consider doing this should be advised that prosecution is VERY likely and this practice just costs us all more at the counter as the retailer will have to make up losses by raising prices.

Thieves are not a benifit to society.
DEFINITION OF A VETERAN
