Box and Joebxr are very upset that someone's freedom has not been limited enough today by the power of their almighty government


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

Quoted from Cel
Keep this in mind...something I pointed out many years back. Price Chopper has a database of everything you buy with the advantage card and it wouldn't surprise me they already are using it with the food companies in some way.  Not unthinkable to someday have that database sent to health insurance companies.

I do very little shopping there first because they already are too expensive and because without using the card they gouge the $hit out of the shopper big time.


Price Chopper was the leader in the 'advantage card' world. They stated it back in the 80's!! Hannaford, Shop Rite, Rite Aid, CVS followed suit and ALL offer cards!

We don't shop at Price Chopper, Shop Rite or Hannaford. We shop Gabriels, Sals, Grueilicks...etc....where no 'card' is required. Rite Aid and CVS try selling the use of their card by offering 'special sales' IF you have a card...WE DO NOT have a card so we buy at shelf pricing.

EVERY SINGLE TIME we buy at Rite Aid or CVS, they ask if we have a card and we say NO...they ask if we want one and we say NO!! One employee at Rite Aid actually told us that they only use it for 'tracking'.

And as a side note....Price Chopper is way over priced....imho

That mayor is not doing so great at the things he is supposed to be doing, is he? They are having an explosion in the 'homeless' population and he is dumping shelters in family neighborhoods with no screening for those who pose a danger to children, some New Yorkers had a house but lost it in a storm...I'd say these are priorities but not for Emperor Bloomberg.
It annoys me when he claims it is the same as the indoor smoking ban and no one challenges him. With the indoor smoking ban, most people don't smoke, many people are adversely affected by breathing smoke, all that ban does is keep people who choose not to smoke or can't due to health reasons from being directly affected by other people's choices. This beverage size ban imposes one man's will on other people's choices that don't directly affecthim.
People do not get it. Michael Bloomberg is a MAYOR. That is all. He does not have the right to make all kinds of decisions for people that he is not qualified to make, any more than I do.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Rite aide gives no discount when using their card. It is only used to track your purchases.

CVS gives you discounts and sends 20% off coupons to your inbox all the time. Plus they give you
bonus bucks based on how much you spend. The bonus bucks are used like cash. You end up getting
25% off the shelf price.

Hannaford doesn't use cards. Everyone pays the same price. Price chopper is the worst. They deliberately
put high priced items behind low shelf prices. If you don't catch it you get charged the higher price than
you wanted. Even when you tell them about it, they won't move them to a spot with the proper shelf price.

You know it's really difficult to take a dweeb serious, and GB is a dweeb in animal clothing!
He seems to think he is smart with his little quips, but it just shows intelligent life does
not exist between his ears.

I've actually tried to find something he has contributed of value in any post...came up
empty...like his head!

Free market capitalism?  Where is that?  That's the biggest misnomer in the American vernacular.
