I am asking anyone in Klamath County to boycott the Walmart until they remove the Mexican flag from the back of the store. I find it disgraceful for any store in this country to display a foreign flag! I have email my complaint to Wal-Mart, complained to the store manager (he says he hears lots of complaints about it but corporate makes him keep it up) and now call on my fellow Americans to be angry at any store that thinks it is ok to fly another country's flag.

oh snap: Quoted: Are they doing a separate entrance for Hispanics all "back of the store" now? My guess is that WalMart is a business, right; and the one's I've been in have a LOT of Hispanics shopping there. As a for-profit business, I can see why they'd wanna make a large portion of their regulars more comfortable... Now if I agree with it and like what they're doing is another story...  |

thats wacist. so what if a busisness wants to display a flag of another nation, you can display yours if you had one. Its not like any other countries flag flying on US soil explicitly implies FUCK YOU, Americans, and all the countries YOU came from. Is that what a Mexican flag says to YOU?
It sounds like this was what made you stop shopping at walmart. L0Lz, for real. It wasnt any human rights or workplace violations from their sketchy past, not the low pay here an abroad? what about elimination of american jobs by outsourcing revenue. My favorite, using their power and money to bully other companies, cities, towns, countries, governments and employees. NOOOO NO foreign flag in their store, NOOOOO, That is just over the top dudes. who the fuck cares. its not like anyone was burning an Amerian flag. Flying a countries flag does not mean someone is denouncing their citizenship or denying you of your rights. ...im sure you keep shopping at Arco, AM/PM, Amoco, Castrol,... even though BP said FUCK YOU WORLD! In less than a day they ruined the lives and wellbeing of many of your countrymen and women, animals for years to come, Costing them billions of dollars in shit. Chump change, wont even hurt them. no more fish, no more income for fisherman or many local economies. They put a price on Life but have you once said Boycott them? ...Hell, what about the economic collapse of 08 and on? Im sure you still patronize many of the busisness that stole your money, what did you call then? Boycott or Bailout? Walmart Its a for profit, publicly held company. They do what they want to increase value for their shareholders, even if that means selling you lies. Hell its not even like the meat packing industry where illegals are "helped" across the border to be abused in plants factories and on farms. Quoted:
ok, lets not turn this into "me trashing hispanics".... I am talking about America and other countries... I believe it was too late, I do believe this was your underlying intent. In a place such as america, that is supposed to be tolerant and welcoming, why do people get so bent out of shape when they see something different. You saw Mexicans, a Mexican flag and In a place that sells tons of Chinese and Asian crap, instead of saying WTF Is this shit?! You called "Boycott, Im offended", burn the place down. Would it be different if the flag was Brittish or some thing else more comfortable to you? More European, African or Asian? or even something South American like Brazil? Anything else other than mexico, Im sure. Think about it... Shit, World cup is coming up, What if a busisness flies their home countries flag to show support for a country. I assume you consider that okay because it is sports related. Im guessing the flag must have been next to an upside down American flag or something? You must have felt inferior or unwelcome.  X10 people need to fuckin chill.
I think your boycott is BS but, go ahead, not everyone participates. you should mail a brick to the White House If immigration is your issue ? maybe just dont shop anywhere that sells foreign Items and has a foreign flag. That will show everybody. oh wait, youre mad Your fellow american sold you out to another country. haha, you still shop there after they gave our Jobs to asia, but when they hung a flag... ah fuck it... When people stand up to something real, let me know. Until then keep bitching about people that are different or believe in something else Edit: Readability and ingles |

sometimes I just get tired of hearing all the one sided bitching and whining about insignificant shit
and then the mob mentality gangbang that happens on the forums. IDGAF. I should call the store and commend them just for the hell of it. hahaha. the borders will come crashing down then right? |
The Mexican Chicken and Worm was flying proudly?
If you want to see more photos (mostly taken by me) of our wonderful friends flying the Mexican flag here is THE LINK for the search term "mexican flag" at my blog. The bottom line is that 20 million illegal aliens have voted with their feet on which is the better country. Any "pride" for Mexico that gets demonstrated in this country is done by idiots. It's like sitting in Burger King every day and talking about how much more you like McDonalds. As for the "living wage/low wage" nonsense, I'll tell you like Chris Christie told that teacher: if you don't like the pay then don't work there. Willing worker/willing employer works just like willing seller/willing buyer. |

I should call the store and commend them just for the hell of it. hahaha. the borders will come crashing down then right? Flying a Mexican flag just tells illegals that they are welcome here. Let me get this straight with you. If you are an illegal immigrant, you are not welcome. File the fucking paperwork, pay the $600, and wait your fucking turn. Don't get me wrong, immigration can be a great thing, when it is metered. I dated a girl who migrated from New Zealand for a long time, and I have no regrets about that. Her family also did it legally, and by now they should all be citizens. As for Walmart in general, I never shop there unless it is my only option, and even then it's only for food. It does help that they are usually located far away from me though. I just don't like cheap chinese made shit. I prefer to take the time and try my best to buy stuff that is Made in the USA. But hey, what do I know... I'm just a guy who works in manufacturing. |

I too believe in legal Immigration Process. Im a law abiding Citizen so at the most basic level I believe in following the law. I love the ladies too so keep coming, but not by Illegal shitstorm. I do not follow the logic in believing that a Mexican flag flown at walmart means Illegal Immigrants from Mexico are welcome there. If the workforce or customers of Walmart are largely hispanic, what is the problem with a Mexican flag being flown. What is Walmarts explanation of the flag? Did anyone even care to ask them? are they wanting to symbolically let Illegal Immigrants know are welcome to their stores? Is that what the flag means to people? I think I must really be missing something. |

I think I must really be missing something. In regards to the flag thing... Yep, you're right. You don't get it. It's about respect (on many different levels). Maybe you should drop by the VFW and ask them why. On a completely non related note... I think illegals are parasites and all of them including thier offspring should get the fuck out. |

Quoted: I never have liked wal-mart, more than one reason... one of many reasons...because they tell employees to take advantage of wellfare or go dumpster diving instead of providing a live-able wage. There is the old saying that if you don't like the wages they pay, then don't friekin work at Walmart. I won't defend Walmart, but at the same time, stop complaining. If you don't like it, quit! |

Another KF'er here...
I despise Wal-Mart in general and I avoid the Klamath one at all costs anyway... I can count on one hand the number of times I've been in there in the last 2 years or so... the place is a shithole to begin with, Mexican flag notwithstanding. Checkout there is slower than death too. Takes too much time to count out all the Oregon Trail Cards I guess. I'm seriously having a hard time deciding what's worse in Klamath, the illegals or the stupid white trash...that f'ing Wal-Mart is full of both anyway. But I digress... |

I've been to lots of English style pubs, and every one of 'em had at least one British flag. Is that okay? Can the mom and pop Mexican joint down the way still fly the Mexican flag? If yes, why them and not WalMart? I don't like WalMart, and don't often shop there. But a Mexican flag on the wall, especially during World Cup, doesn't raise my pulse. |

I would be much more comfortable if Walmart was displaying a number of different flags, sort of like the UN, as long as the flag of the USA is always mounted above the other ones, as is standard etiquette when showing respect for our flag (sorry, to be more specific, I meant when showing respect for the flag of the United States).
Of course, that would presume that Walmart wants to show respect for the flag of the United States. When they show only the flag of another country, I presume that they are trying to curry favor with the people from that country, and show people from that country more respect and deference than they do to the citizens of the United States. Much like a store specializing in Asian goods displaying Asian flags, or a store specializing in African goods displaying African flags. Unless I am mistaken, it is their right to display which ever flag they want. Just as it is our right to shop there, protest by not shopping there, or requesting that a different flag or flags be displayed. |

I think illegals are parasites and all of them including thier offspring should get the fuck out. I hope you get eat by a bear you racist shitbag. I don't see how hating illegals is racist. They are law breakers who should be rounded up and deported, shot for trying to invade our country to begin with. If someone wants into this country, they should do it legally (like my family did long ago). If they do it illegally, yes, they are parasites on our country using up resources and not paying in. AND THEY SHOULD GET THE FUCK OUT!!!!!! I honestly believe our military should be on the border, and shoot any who cross illegally...but those who come through properly should be welcomed. |
I remeber when I lived in the Portland metro area and how much it pissed me off when I rode the MAX train the automated voice would speak in mexican and all I could think of was this country was a whore to the dollar, both left and right. It sickened me to hear leftys tell me I was an immigrant via my family 100 or so years ago at one time. They never wanted to hear that my family assimulated into the nation, worked their ass off and did their best to learn english from the scandinavian tongue they originate and not seek freebies and handouts like today. its become quite clear we live amongst imbeciles that can easily be manipulated to believe in something that gives them a sense of "good" all the while be suicidal in their decision making for the future of America. I say today, screw the system and live the best you can in hopes that one day America will wake up. Despite oregon being the easiest state to vote, I no longer vote as I have checked out of the system the best I can and hope for a brighter future as this state is dictated by the craddle to grave nanny philosophy due the metro area in the valley. My philosophy is of ju-jitsu practice, encourage & let the lemmings go so far left that eventually they will end up "right" by their stupidity . If the day of realization doesnt come I always have what mother naure provides in the few areas of freedom left. The wilderness. Theres just no use fighting the system as the people are indeed sheeple and that only leads you to poor health and a bleak future.

They aren't demanding that we speak the "queen's English", and they don't drop the US flag outside a school and then hoist it back up rightside down with their flag on top... I don't have a problem with multiple flags being flown, but like Genin (and according to protocol), the US flag should always be flown higher and should always be there too. I think the walmart thing is just simple marketing as it works in our lovely free-market. They know their customer base and want them to come back more often because they feel comfortable there. A Mexican flag accomplishes that goal. oh yeah, IBTL...

Just for the record race has nothing to do with my feelings towards our illegal alien problem. I hate the companies that give those illegal turds thier illegal jobs too. |

Illegal is illegal, I don't care were they come from, they don't belong here. Do the paper work, and come legally, learn the language....come on in. If you come illegally, I hope they are executed.
I think it could be pretty simple...we get out of the middle east..tell the terrorists if you mess with us, we turn Mecca into a glass sheet with nukes.....we bring our military home to protect the border. Live rounds, cross, die, it is simple...but no one has the balls to put it into practice. |

Depending on their answer, I would say welcome to the USA, or get the fuck OUT! My question for people is... Are you here to be an American, or to benefit from being in the USA? I think all these illegals, and most immigrants are simply here to benefit from the fuckin libiril lefty social services. ETA, Speak the language, or get in school to learn. Pushing 1 for English pisses me off. Maybe, press 1 for English, or press 2 to hang up till you learn English, would be more to my tastes |

Then Why focus on mexicans personally I don't care about illegal mexicans. I am more concerned about illegal canadians. I've seen too many take too many jobs away from americans never saw a mexican take a job I wanted. Someone will do that job. A couple of years back I ran into a Mexican pot grow operation while archery hunting. 9000+ plants from what I was told after they were busted. While I was in the middle of the grow I heard them coyote calling to the north and south of my position. I wonder what would have happened had they been able to track me down (they new I was there and were looking for us I am sure)? County narcotics detectives than filled me in on the fact that there were more illegal grows (by illegal mexicans) being found every year and they are using the same sites year after year. Just a new illegal gaurding it each year. So. This hunting spot I have been going to for years and planned on taking my son on his first elk hunting trip is now worthless... |
