| Welcome to Our Hoosier Board! Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions. Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful. Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

How moronic is this....Lars, Brian, please tell me you didn't vote for the clowns on your city council. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/20/us/seattle-bans-plastic-bags-and-sets-a-5-cent-charge-for-paper.html |

At Target there is a 5 cent discount for every bag you don't use (whether you carry your items or BYOB), I prefer that method. |

Well, that's why marketing departments exist. A charge for using versus a discount for not using magically turns into two different things based on the feelings words produce. |

either way though, it is much better than a city council making it illegal....Target has a right to charge whatever they want for bags, or get rid of the all together if they choose. |

You're missing the intent of my comment. Its up to the business to decide what they charge a consumer regardless of city ordinances that the business must pay. So whether target wants to build the fee into their price and charge you $10.05 with $0.05 discount for not using plastic or not build it in and charge $10.00 with a $0.05 charge for using plastic doesn't really affect your wallet, but everyone feels a little more warm and fuzzy when they get a discount. |

I live on the "Eastside", where moderation rules, not liberals. |
