They'll eat their own children if it came down to it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24141363 I think it is obvious that this is the true meaning behind eating from the tree of knowledge.

The sad fact is that the "lower prices whatever the cost" philosophy has indeed cost us dearly.

Those 2$/h are just enough to feed em and have a bit spare for the kids to attend school. They life in Military style barraks and work 12h per day. And actually it´s not their fault, it´s cause of the companys putting out the pressure. Work or lose the contract, and there is not one single company that´s better then another. If you make profit you take from others that´s a fact. And it´s not limited to Hightech Toy´s. It start´s with the Jeans you wear, the Tshirt, to your shoes, every piece of plastic you probably use, Waterball´s, Tupperware, etc, etc. the list could go on and on. Allmost every mass product nowdays is produced in China/India. All the raw Metals used to produce Car´s, Truck´s, etc comes from Brasil or China. There is basically nothing you own that´s not based on low income slave style work, that´s the truth. Go around your House and check the labels of the good´s you own, then come back and complain again. |

Yea i can´t belive this I-religion either. There´s been show´s on German TV where people sat infront of the stores all night waiting for the sale. They hype it so much, and then it´s such a cheap failure. Funny with all this Bug´s, in the navigation etc. If your late to your meeting and you used a Iphone for route planing, you probalbly should sue the crap out of apples ass. They do with copyright why not the user do it about a failed product. But all those Inewbs dont even relise they buy Crap, their heads are to deep into the mist. |

And then bash yourself as well as the iPhone buyers. |

I think this is why there is still a war on drugs well part of the reason. The more people they get into these prisons the more they can work them at jobs and such for next to nothing just like the chinese. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 17851333 United States 09/22/2012 07:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | See, it's not only the U.S. govt. that conspires against the working people with big corps. The Chinese govt. does it, too. Why not crawl up their asses as well as the corporation's? Because without them none of this would be possible. I hate cell phones, don't own one and will never own one. Finding U.S.A. made products is very difficult and to try and find everything you need made here, is nigh impossible. But I do my best. I actually found some dryer sheets made in U.S. today. I was thrilled. (sad, isn't it?) |

vash31 User ID: 19206112 Australia 09/22/2012 07:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It seems to me like there is mass, mass denial going on. We are all responsible to some extent. We don't know how to cope with our heavily fragmented realities; the internal stories that frame our lives are in conflict. Generally speaking, we are lacking basic cultural guidance for happiness, peace and fulfilment; it actually seems like our social and political organisations just induce dissonance. Some of us are more affected than others. Eventually, some strange social patterns begin to emerge. The prevalence of collective behaviour patterns that resemble widespread addiction is staggering. Our institutions and other forms of social organisation are draining the life and humanity from us. Our dogmas promote nihilism, fundamentalism and fetishism. We are unable to cultivate balance within ourselves so we yo-yo between mental states. We are unable to cultivate balance in society so it is involuntarily thrust upon us in the form of opposing radicalisms. Our experiment has gone awry and no one wants to admit it...Its ok though, its at this point of monumental challenge that we have opportunity for immense individual and collective development. The precipice appears on the horizon... |
