about the costco thing, they run on a completely different business model than other stores. Other stores like WalMart simply can't afford to pay Costco wages. CostCo runs on a membership ordeal where people pay a certain amount per month just to shop there. Also, they sell in bulk, which makes people spend a lot more than they would at WalMart. CostCo doesn't have nearly the amount of employees as WalMart. That's why CostCo can pay more to its employees.

I certainly would not call others stupid for believing a stupid way. I don't think that's productive at all. Just because I won't believe what others say doesn't make me close minded. I just don't see eye to eye with those people.

No, that's not what I mean. I'm personally finding interesting and valid points on both sides.
What I'm saying is, on both sides of the argument, people are tending to be more aggressive and closed-minded towards the opposite view than people usually are in these debates. It's just an observation. (not directed at anyone in particular) This debate is an interesting read, as long as it stays civil. I can't take any argument seriously when people are calling others stupid for having a differing opinion. I'll stay on the sidelines, though.
