Another reason to hate Walmart...

...Wally World bends over for the Catholic church church

officials have satisfied demands by the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, which had called for a national boycott after accusing the retail giant of discriminating against Christmas while promoting other seasonal holidays by name, such as Kwanzaa and Hanukkah.

You know what? I think the Catholic church has bigger priorities than this, but any time they can push an agenda on people they will. Walmart could have nipped this off in the bud by taking the boycott, after all, how much in Walmart-exec-style money would they have REALLY lost? But, as usual, they bent over to Religious types, and decided it was better to alienate everyone else in the world who was not a Christian type.


Another view of the story

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Thursday that a customer-service employee named Kirby had written an inappropriate e-mail to a woman who complained that the retailer had replaced a "Merry Christmas" greeting with "Happy Holidays." It also said Kirby no longer worked for Wal-Mart.

Kirby wrote that Christmas resulted from traditions ranging from Siberian shamanism to Visigoth calendars.

IOW Walmart had a chance to make a real statement, about Christmas in general, and tie it in to the diversity of our country as a whole, and instead decided to go with their wallet instead, and fired the offending employee because the Catholic church was "offended".

"We only trigger boycotts when we've been grossly offended," he said.

Quite a statement, coming from a group that hides known child molesters in different parishes rather than discipline them.

Flame away...

Now I don't know who to despise more.

Shit.

I need cookies ..............

It's too bad workers can't stick together.

What are they, serving people from one religion now?

Bigots.
