WalMart refuses to sell Playboy or Maxim but sells guns

The danger of a gun is greater than that of a magazine. I guess it's not purely hypocritical though.

The danger of a knife is greater than that of a magazine.  Wal-mart does not sell things based on how "dangerous" they are.

WalMart is run by a bunch of christian intolerants, and most of the customers are the same type.  Please, everyone, abuse their 90 day return policy - to the max!

Do you think that actually hurts the stock holders and owners, or the minimum wage student they have working there that interacts with the annoying customers?

It is impossible to hurt that minimum wage person (she is typically an adult), as she cannot fall any lower.

Heh, obviously you've never worked for minimum wage.  If lots of customers treat you like sh**t and give you trouble, it makes your day so much worse.

What you're advocating doesn't hurt the managers or stockholders.  It hurts those that you "care" about.

Walmart is trying to keep up a certain image.  If you want to blame something for the hypocrisy, blame society.  A store can sell guns and still be a 'family store,' but not so much with pornography/

How are guns anti-family?

Because you can use them to kill people...

So you're saying baseball bats, knives, rat poison, and bricks are all anti-family things?

Yes / Yes.
Why would you vote againts selling guns in Walmart unless you oppose selling guns anywhere?

Why would anyone oppose selling Playboys at Wal-Mart unless they oppose selling Playboys anywhere?

Because we want to maintain a level of decency in society.
