A lack of a law preventing it doesn't make it good though. We can add new laws and regulations

- ada1981 6y agoAre the kinds who people who "shop" and attend "malls" the sorts of people we should be protecting?
- BigBubbleButt 6y agoAre you saying we shouldn't protect consumers?
- tacLog 6y agoWhat kind of question is this? Are you intending to imply that some people are less deserving of privacy purely based on if they shop at malls?
- ada1981 6y agoMore a sarcastic expression of my disdain for the North American Shopping Mall and those who call her home.
- ficklepickle 6y agoFair enough. Rampant consumerism is a threat to our survival as a species. I personally find it revolting. How people can derive pleasure buying low-quality clothes and widgets made by people in horrible conditions is beyond me. Never mind the impact on our environment. I have a lot of compassion for addicts. I used to be an opiate addict. It's all the same phenomenon; trying to fill an internal void with something external. I suspect that the majority here, however, do not feel the same way. I've seen too many posts where folks describe their love of amazon with a fervour best described as religious.
- nogabebop23 6y agoYou'd think as a former opiate addict you might have a little more understanding and less emotionally negative response to something as mundane as shopping. If you feel this way about people who got to malls, how should I feel about junkies shooting up in my alley?
- bbarnett 6y agoI don't even get any part of this conversation. A person needs a pair of pants. Maybe, they don't want to use Amazon, or online services. They go to a store. It's in a mall. Now, they're idiots for some inane, bizarre, incomprehensible reason. Even the "cheap clothes" they use to keep themselves safe from the elements are worse, than the "cheap clothes" bought elsewhere, like from Amazon?! What a weird thread.
- gdulli 6y agoWhat the fuck? Your position is that there's something virtuous about exchanging currency for goods as long as you can do it from home, but leaving your house to do it in person is substantively different at all, let alone worthy of disdain? Are you so hopelessly tribal that it doesn't even take a political ideology difference to dehumanize people on a different side? It just naturally hits you that someone with different shopping habits is some kind of intolerable other?
- ada1981 6y agoOh I find online shopping even worse tbh.
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoAnd what’s your opinion on superiority complexes?
- HeWhoLurksLate 6y agoThey're the worst
- p1necone 6y agoSo uhh, did you build the computer you used to post this comment from first principles? Do you grow all your own food from scratch? I'm not really sure where you're coming from with this disdain for people participating in the economy.
- ada1981 6y agoI love this comment. I think every so often I get the urge to make a comment that ultimate burns off a few Karma points.
- dylan604 6y agoNot defending the GP, but we do have websites like peopleofwalmart. If they were coming out with peopleofcanadianmalls, then that be interesting. Honestly, I'd expect peopleofWhatevermalls would mainly be teenagers and senior citizens outside of holiday season shoppers. edit: came to the party late and see that someone else also posted about peopleofwalmart

- ada1981 6y agoOoo this is very important!
