I like how in the middle of my schools social justice week, we get a sponsor who's factories are horrible working conditions.
Irony?
But the REALLY funny one was this week two years ago, when we had Nike protesters lead an assembly...
And my school's football team, number 1 in the nation at that time, (pretty high ranked this year too) is SPONSORED by Nike. Now that was funny.

Hey now, don't MAKE me start bitching about the third world countries, you hear me?
I WILL defend sweatshops if I have to, I'm not happy about it, but I will. Sure, conditions and pay suck compared to our nice 1st word countries, but sweatshops pay higher than the other occupations in 9/11 of those shithole countries. Lose a finger? Beats starving and prostitution.
Anyways, I am seeing a surprising amount of... not... rage over this one. I honestly was expecting everyone to freak out and jump up and down.
Lousy work conditions has a bright side: we learn to work like dogs, 24/7, using whatever we have at hand, if something breaks down we repair it somehow, and we don't suffer from exhaustion as much as others. I'd like to think of it as... endurance training. When we get a job in one of the 1st world countries we get x5 times more money working at the same speed we did here, and we don't really notice the difference.
I mean, one of my father's friends has a very sweet life over there in the US, and he doesn't even work half as hard as my dad.
Now, if we talk about China's people... they do have it rough D:
