Don't be so exclusive just cause you have kids. Any one individual can be dirt poor and barely able to take care of themselves and make ends meet. Having children only compounds the problem. And five no less! Wow. Someone should have budgeted for birth control or better yet, abstinence.
If you can't afford them, don't have them.

You sound bitter. What's the point of bitching and moaning over something you don't want to take responsibility for? So you don't have to agree, but you'll give them your hard earned dollars? What you're really saying is: I agree, here's my money.

I don't. It's not about Brokeback. It's about censorship. I stated that clearly in my first post. That's not the first film, book or other media that has been censored or attempted to be censored. Farenheit 911 is another example. Plenty of others. Besides Wal-Mart is not banning Brokeback anyway. But their are organizations that want to ban it from being sold. Wal-Mart has had its share of censorship from time to time. Which is why I don't shop there. Plenty of other alternatives. Plenty.

True. But then consumers just like you made it all happen. Also, not everyone is good at making a realistic budget and willing to make alternative choices. It's all too convenient to buy into the hypocrisy.
