yesterday, i found myself in another arguement over sweatshops, specifically southeast asian sweatshops. i'm with people when it comes to the shit workplace conditions. but westerners can stop comparing the quality of life and their wages because what they earn is enough to put food on their family's table. its shit to us but its enough for them.
i didn't want to bring it up but fuck it, i had to tell this person that hundreds of thousands of girls from age 8 and up are paid cents to fuck horny fat and skinny men from usa, europe, japan, australia and canada
but no one talks about it
sorry had to vent
fucking mondays suck

true enough yo.
it's also an argument about sweat shops, that it's not really that bad, because besides the wage, it's a job. It would be much better if the wages / conditions were better but without that shitty labor, there would be no job at all.
And yes, the eastern sex trade is bad. But no, nobody talks about it, because mostly people only care for themselves..

No one talks about it, but if people want to learn more I found that there are a lot of resources available out there.

yeah sweat shops, as far as work conditions go, are terrible and need improvment...but a job is a job, it puts food on the table, and ISN'T prostitution...

welcome to the nasty place we call the world.
we sit around and knock the US a lot, but have fun in a 3rd world country or I mean, the politically correct name, developing country. Yeah developing, but into what that's the question....?

If you look you'll see the same things happen in our own countries. Not to the same scale. But still.

(Aug 8 05, 11:24)Could be an example. I used to work with Imported labourers from India, they were payed a few dollars an hour. Not sure how the farm I was at got away with it.
But even when you look at our minimum wage for example it's still pretty brutal.
Underage prostitution...they shut down some ring in Montreal bout a month ago, 12 year old girls.
Crazy world we live in.
word.

maybe if they got paid a decent wage at the factories they would not have to.

lol, brandelec

side note - low minimum wages in the US are mainly the result of a very powerful lobby of the fast food industry.

the problem with some of these activists is that they focus so much on their agendas and ingnore the rest.
we've got to keep on living.
