Ethical Products - Tough Titty To The Slaves!
Posted: Wed Jul 02, 2008 12:25 pm
There's been a lot of fuss (again) lately about major highstreet shops like Primark getting their stock from Indian sweat-shops.
Everyone cries about how it's exploiting these poor people, and they're paid mere pennies per day, and so we shouldn't buy the stock.
It bothers me how you stupid fks give a shti.
How the Hell did you think that top you bought was so cheap?
Do you think these shops are giving clothes away?
Here's some very simple business: If you're not making at least 80% profit on an item, it's not worth selling it.
Even when you buy an item in a super-cheap sale, you can rest assured that the business is raking in the profits still. That IS business.
So some -ing poor Indian woman is sewing sequins onto dresses for 56p per day - so what? I bet that woman BEGGED the factory to let her do that job for that wage!
By saying we shouldn't buy such products, you're making the difference between that poor Indian woman making 56p per day and her getting paid absolutely fk-all.
Wake the Hell up!
We don't all live in countries like the UK and US! There are poor countries out there that will always be poor, because there will NEVER be equality in this world, and if you have that dream then go shoot yourself and save us all from your whining pansy crap.
The bottom line is that they can make a shirt and I can't. I pay - they give.
When I can AFFORD to pay top dollar for my clothes, THEN it would be Wrong of me to buy cheap stuff that I know is being made by sweatshop workers. While I'm scraping by then I'm going for the cheap stuff!
*waits for the gunshots*
Right.
I live in a better country than those workers, and that's life, I'm afraid. Tough titty to them. Unlucky.
Now, I have a theory about the REAL problem here.
WOMEN.
Men don't buy clothes. Men will buy the absolute bare minimum - we're happy to have t-shirts that are 15 years old, as long as they don't have holes in them.
Men will have a pair of trainers, a pair of shoes, and maybe some boots. We may have lots of t-shirts and trousers, but that's just so we can pile the fkrs up in the washing basket and not have to worry about it for a few weeks.
Oh no - Men are not contributing to any of this unethical industry stuff.
Women, on the other hand have CREATED this whole situation!
They buy shoes, clothes and handbags like they're stockpiling in case the Earth's natural resources of fabrics run out!
I bet every single one of the women reading this has a dress they've bought only to wear once... or a pair of shoes they've never even worn?
And the chances are you bought them because they were a 'bargain'?
People making cheap products in sweatshops is always going to happen, because WE want it.
And it's a good thing.
