Re:Look Who Own`s TARGET 5 Years, 5 Months ago  
You just found that out? i quit shopping at target several years ago when i found out, the real bitch about it is it started out as american owned and was bought out by the french a long time ago. and their still pissed off cause we had to save there butts in ww1 and ww2, heck in ww2 Ike let Degall take his troops into Paris first as a show of goodwill, when it was Pattons third army that blew the Germans off the map in that area, the French sat on the side lines watching<br><br>Post edited by: junglebear11, at: 2006/12/22 08:02

Check snopes. All false. Some people just love starting hate and discontent for any large retailer. Most of the time it is liberal Turds with nothing better to do than blame everything on Corporate America. This one is in thier top 25 over at snopes.

Re:Look Who Own`s TARGET 5 Years, 5 Months ago  
I'm not a big fan of mega corporate America and try to do my buying from local businesses. It's sad though that Home Depot and Lowes opened up and the family hardware store closed 2 months later. Everyone knew me and they were all decendants of the original owner from like 50 years ago. It seems however there were 2 sides to this story. Do people remember the local 5&amp;dime stores? There gone..

That's life bru. I don't like to see it any more than you. Especially as it's seen as an American takeover of Canadian business.

But what are you going to do. I found that most of the time I'd end up at HD 'cause they would have what I wanted or a better selection.

What burns me up is the 'overabundance' of things &quot;Made in China&quot;. The lack of manufacturing, and the jobs that go with them, will eventually hurt our countries.

Agree with you Bru... tough on family owned businesses these days!!! My brother owns a really good quality beef jerky plant, has done wonderful for years, but now he is getting squeezed by having to compete with the big guys who for the most part make crap!

Hey bud, see you got socked in pretty good from the storm (so did we)! Thank God I have a snow blower!!! Some friends that moved to California a few years ago GAVE it to me. Always felt to guilty to take it out for those piss-ant snows we got. Did not hesitate to crank it up this time. Hope you are getting dug out!!! Know we know how Musky feels!!!

Dawg, we're dug out. Made a block party out of it. Wine,shovels and rock &amp; roll up and down the block!! Was half drunk by noon. What the hell, not like I was going anywhere. My wife spent 2 hours just digging out her car, she went to work this morning and now someone is in her spot. I hope they're gone by five or there's going to be a cat fight outside!!!!

Roadies right. I, however, own what might be called a &quot;Silver Bullett&quot;. I believe it has been proven that only light and Superman are faster.
