@shawnstam Thank you!
i feel sorry for h&h hardware
@brownnoice Well Said!!
am already boycotting Wal-Mart (good idea). Also, THERE IS a new direction we can move towards. Check out and join thezeitgeistmovement and check out and join thevenusproject. WE THE PEOPLE C-A-N move beyond war, poverty and politics without servitude or stratification and to live more symbiotically with each other and the earth. Love to all – Mamma D
@BaronOfRust but nobody will. They’d rather piss and moan and cry about the “alleged” evil corporations without even opening their minds first.
i work at a wal-mart store as an unloader and i’m damn proud to say that my crew destroys the times we’re allotted for trucks. and we don’t complain ’cause we’re makin’ more money than most people in the area since they’re on welfare by choice ’cause they’re all drug addicts/alcoholics. so where i live is perfect for wal-mart ’cause my social security taxes come back to the store on the first of the month and then i get a quarterly my$hare incentive that’s massive ’cause we supermax everytime!
WALMART MADE ME FAT!!
It also is responsible for the cold weather lately..
So shopping at Wal-mart and K-mart is hurting communities, employees and the economy. Can someone name some major grocers and retailers with honorable practices, please? Target? Marsh? Barnes and Noble? I’d need to persuade my family to shop somewhere else.
@mallard003: the US government has been borrowing money from foreign nations for years (Japan, Europe, CHINA), especially during the Bush administration when several tax cuts were put into effect-without an alternative source of money to fill in that gap. The tax cuts were put into effect when we started invading the Mideast, which was VERY costly. We had no choice but to borrow money, hence our +$12 trillion deficit.
PBS,org has a nice documentary on the debt. search “trillion dollars”
Just don’t build walmart’s in shit hick town with less than a 100,000 people. If everyone is working for local stores they are bound to be put out of business. Now of course this won’t happen in large metro cities, large retail outlets on each corner cancels itself out. And don’t give me this shit about mom and pop store being stripped of their earnings. Everything they sell comes from china too.
well I have a question for you??After seeing what walmart is really about why do you people still shop there??
@salers2 Yeah but the money still goes into Chinas economy. I know it’s really our fault as a community for doing it, but I really think the best course of action would be to default on the debt, and start military exercises around the Chinese mainland.
walmart doesnt do business with china as a government, they do business with sweatshops.
If Wal-Mart buys most of their products from China, and there’s a working business relationship with China, how do we owe them all this money nationally? I’ve never heard of someone selling products to a debtor, something about that sounds a little off.
wake up everybody… “somebody should do something about it” YOU ARE THE THE ONLY ONE THAN CAN DO ANYTHING about corporate domination
@Animaznboy
Agreed
I think you are a communist traitor……..typical idiot
gopconservative78: Greed means more than you need and excess. Greed is destroying the world because people are taking more than they need to live. I don’t know what fool you are following but they do say, who is the bigger fool, the fool or the fool that is following that fool, wise up the planet cannot sustain greed, you want to believe it can but it can’t so start taking what you need and no more and live a healthier happier life!
Greed is Good.
“There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.”
@shawnstam, wrong. it was unfair competition. people are going to buy where things are cheaper as walmart hurts the entire community and they must still buy food etc……there is no govt regulation on what is almost a monopoly of cheap goods…no one small business can compete with walmart. yes, if no one went to walmart in a perfect world you would be correct. but it is not a perfect world and people are not that smart.
@Animaznboy EXACTLY BIG CITIES SHOULD HAVE ONE WALMART OR TWO BUT A CITY LIKE MINE DALTON GA SHOULD NOT HAVE WALMART AT ALL IS TAKING ALL OUR PROFITS, IS A CHINSES COMPANY AND WORKS LIKE A CHINESE COMPANY
walmart did not put them out of bussiness there costomers did. People can put walmart out of bussiness by not shopping there.
This documentary mostly answers your question. People get angry because Wal-Mart ‘cheats.’ They use outsourcing, overwork their associates, have bad health care, and have bad working environments. These are just a few things. However, not all of the blame should be put on Wal-Mart. It is part of the communities’ faults for not knowing how to better ‘use’ Wal-Mart. Some places should have a Wal-Mart, and some places shouldn’t.
I have good friends who are teens that have gotten into Walmart. They tell me how difficult it is and I know their unhappier than they’ve been at other jobs. I just hope somethings done soon.
TOP I like this video
the most astonishing.. is that it could be happening next door :/
In the state MTV is in right now, I’m exceedingly proud of them for doing this.
And of course the music of choice makes it even better.
Regarding the theme, it’s up to each generation to improve the world they were left by their ancestors. Here’s to hoping together we can all improve on the dignity and welfare of the people who can’t do it for themselves.
rifan!

I muted this and started up Plug In Baby instead and at the part where they’re trying to have sex with the girl and beat her she is like a plug in girl, forced to act like a puppet so she can be the ‘babe’ of other men. However there is no one there to crucify her enemies
Capitalism makes me sad, and reminds me that money breaks the values!
Make something in your country to modify the system! please!!!!
i cant believe this people….this is a really strong video to think about deeply….and people just argue about what band is better..if radio head or muse?…
I feel nothing about this MV, This is our world. Cold and rude, as always.
@thezevaful It’s not actually about this, if you look up the song name it comes up with a horrible experiment done on innocent people a couple of decades ago
@skygem I second that?
@letiquia
He’s talking about the music
This is some deep shit my niggas
that video clip really makes you think about your own life and other people’s lives all over the world…unfortunatelly not everyone has what you take for granted!!
@superwiicrazy You’re talking shit about a band that tries, up to certain point, to help spread out the word against these atrocities..really?..shame on you. Never mind the fact that you are comparing it to Radiohead, they left their guitar driven song back in the bends.
@pandastorm101 yeah, but im specifically referring to radiohead’s all i need mtv exit campaign which is much more powerful than this.
@superwiicrazy they’re both amazing bands. Radiohead is indeed much better but THE 2 DON’T SOUND ALIKE AT ALL
muse copies radiohead all day every day
@lukassss201 That kind of thing doesn’t happen only in China. Additionally, accusing the regime instead of the ones at the top of it is ridiculous. Communism is a great idea, the real problem is that every time it’s been put into practice, the people at the top used it for personal gain, abused their power. Finally, the song is more about humanity, and willful ignorance, than China, communism, or whatever. Please think before talking next time.
@lukassss201 This song is not about China, and especially not about communism.
@gowin15 Ok thanks
In china it’s reallity…comunism is shit
@ilove2ne14ever this is filmed in mong kok of hong kong
and this is why i love this kind of bands,cuz they’re not selfish like music trash in these days |:
Seen it, great directed video.. top of the bill craftsmnship!
