Well, I reacted bit out of emotion there. Hence the shot at Greenday. I've been in a bad mood today, sorry. I didn't mod you down by the way, your comment doesn't deserve a down mod so I righted it.
Our ideals are different, and I disagree that the one you suggest, that Wal-Mart should be obligated to sell their customers the best product. It isn't exactly what Walmart does. I believe that Walmart is as consistent as a company its size can be expected to be. With movies it falls back on the expectation that a 17 year old can make their own decisions, and likewise with games. So, I don't mind dropping GTA during the scandal, and not Saints Row, which hadn't scandalous content; I just think they were dumb because the content required effort to get to. With the music you referenced I'm not sure that the other recording didn't just slip through the cracks.
I don't believe Walmart should be expected of anything more just because they have a lot of stores. I rather that the burden be placed on me to know better than to support their music, video game, or film sections. You can make the distinction between being scammed and ripped-off, but even if I accept that, I only see myself as ripped off if I am dumb enough to buy that censored album. I want the trouble to be on me.
You're right, I was being too harsh on Greenday. They didn't bring it up and I reacted emotionally to something that was barely there. When I read Greenday complaining like they did, even though they're rich, it sounds to me like some punks complaining that The Man is keeping them down, that society is keeping them constricted, and they just won't play along with the rules. Like angry young men. But, they could be a mini-Bono.
Well, I don't think we really disagree, so this can die.
