When I looked for jobs in my field I searched Dublin only, finding more than 150 jobs, lots in the salary range of 60 to 70 EUROS (at 60 thats around 85,000 US dollars).

I didn't know the prostitution industry was so open in Dublin. :) guess it would have to be somewhat open though...

:) It's pretty damn open in Dublin. Talk to your mom about it, she knows all the prostitution laws, local and globally.

*edit* I hate "yo momma jokes". And it was a joke.

I know, I was joking too.

I wonder if walmart will support Sethro for pres.
IDK but at least Target lets you walk around with nachos or popcorn while you shop, even if their selection isn't quite as good.

Target kicks ass :) Much better quality stuff than Walmart. Their selection is a little light, I agree completely.

Agreed. Size wise and evil wise.

I love this one WIPE: WalMart is Pure Evil.

For a comparison: Target as Bad as Wal-Mart? You Decide

In one sense, the larger an entity, the more enemies it will have. So Wally World may just be a victim of success. That said, their success often relies on crushing existing competition, the smaller the better.

For a long, but fascinating, story: The Man Who Said No to Wal-Mart.

"Corruption at City Hall"

So the government has been corrupt for years and now they're bringing this out and making it legal? Well I suppose it was to be expected after enough time, you wait long enough there will be enough rebellion to quell the injustice. Money/Power/Greed makes the world go round, so what's changed through the centuries of history?

Hopefully since the Supreme Court overturned that corporations providing money to political candidates Ill have all of NCR's customers. Muhahahah

No seriously, I think that was a stupid thing to do. Political candidates should be elected into office for what they can do for the people not the corporations.

Agreed!

I just hope the 500% tax passes! That would probably put an end to it.

i don't shop wal-mart, my dad was a grocery store director for years and years (he finally quit on jan 1, had enough), he spent years and years trying to not be crushed by wal-mart. the last store he was at kept 50% of it's business after wal-mart opened up, and this was considered a positive.

anyway, i realize they are no more evil than any other large corporation and it's really just personal bias, but i'd rather spend the extra money for quality stuff anyway.
