Shahab on more soap!

["Mike" <sohns@turbonet.com>]

Maybe PC was rude in what was said, but I believe PC said what was on the mind of others as well.

 

Shahab should appreciate PC's candor.  After all, Shahab, himself said, "Those of you who know me know that I do not BS around; I do not mince words or hide the truth or act nice to your face and then stab you in the back."  Well PC didn't mince words either.

 

Shahab went on the say, "You always know where you stand."  Does the people of Moscow stand beneath you Shahab?  You talk so negative about the people of Moscow and who they choose to support,  we must not measure up to your standards.

 

Have you noticed that each time you try to explain to everyone what you meant, you end up advertising your business, boasting about how great you are, and putting a few more businesses down?  This time you took pot shots at grocery stores, discount stores, Wal-Mart, Staples, Office Depot, Costco, and Home Depot.  You said, "Just like the inferior produce in the supermarkets today and the truly junky computers in the discount stores and the sorry excuse for clothes in Wal Mart, we will have to settle for less with everything else."  Did you stop to think, that these places give us what we want at the prices we can afford?  And is the computers really junky, or is it that people just didn't buy them from you?  I'm not saying that there aren't flaws in some of the things we buy, but nobody can give you something that is totally flawless.  Not even you.

 

Shahab, If you don't like the people of Moscow and the choices we make; the businesses we support or don't support; and "since you have expertise that allows you to make much more money elsewhere (your own words)," then why don't you go elsewhere?  And as far as "other local businesses not having as many options" -- what makes you think they don't?

 

I have lived in the Moscow area for many years and I have never seen you advertise.  You said, "Quite frankly, if I have to lie and advertise a bunch of half truths and lies to entice people to buy from me...I would rather starve to death."  Is that why you never advertised -- because they would be lies and half truths?  Are you implying that businesses who advertise are printing lies & half truths?

 

And one last thought. Our country is still a GREAT country and Moscow and its people are great too.   And I think I speak for many of us when I say "we are proud people".  If you're not proud of this country anymore, why not take the next flight out?
