Re: Question about buying supplies from a pet store that sells animals

Right, bad choice of words. How about this:

"The Wal-Marts near me MAKE NO SENSE by carrying ONLY small bags of their care fresh type products, that even when you buy the double-sized bag has NO difference in price than when you buy two small bags."

Because really, in the kitchen, I tend to let my guard down and say things like that are retarded because they make no sense. I did not PUT DOWN an entire group of people. Because people who are "slow" (synonym of retard, in the dictionary/thesaurus/musical sense) might work at WalMart. They might not. So really, I'm using it AS AN ADJECTIVE. To indicate that WALMART is slow in their ways of thinking, because they can't fool us all into thinking we're getting better deals.

Maybe I should start applying my adjectives to people instead of corporations so it makes more sense, so that when the one single quote pulled out of one of my longer posts should apply to a specific person instead of a corporation.

Would you prefer that?

And at any rate, I did want to add one thing about the original question. If you feel the need to ask this question on an internet board, you need to sit yourself down and ask YOURSELF what your ethics, values and beliefs are. It's fine to get ideas of what others think, but those opinions are readily available all over this site. This question has been asked over and over.

Will someone please draw a roadmap to the search function?

And my apologies to any of those I offended by using "retarded" as an adjective, as well as to anyone I might have offended by being more outspoken than usual (for me).

(Edited to add: And for anyone who thinks using "retarded" is putting down a group of people, believe you me I do NOT refer to anyone who is disABLEd in any way, shape, or form, as such because I have physically and mentally handicapped individuals in my own family.)
