Wealth distribution

[Fragony]

If you don't consider it a threat, then you are incredibly naive.

You only become that rich at the expense of many other people.

It's simply disgusting.

It hink the EU is a much bigger threat to democracy. I don't find it disgusting that they have so much more than I have. If human rights are respected I am all ok with that. That's what should be kept in check, when violated acted upon. But what does it matter that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I don't find it an unjustice.

Wealth alone is not the issue. It is the power they weald. It does not make all equal before the law. Their influence means the laws end up suiting what they want and the rest be damned.

The have the best government money can buy. That is the point.

Ever heard about the labor conditions of the poorest who work for the rich in Asia and Africa? Are their human rights respected in the quest for ever-increasing profits?

Who make the stuff you buy? That is wrong of course, but you still support it with your wallet.

Meh. As if we have much of a real choice?

Sure you do, not with everything, but you could buy more responsible. If you buy something fron H&M you should know why it's cheap. Most of my clothes come from Italy or Denmark. I buy fair-trade products when I can. I avoid products from Asia and India. Kinda hypocrite to claim because I am posting this with an ipad, but I avoid it as much as I can.

Mafia supporter then? Italy got some significant issues with mafia (well technically Camorra) infiltration in the cloth industry. And the following mistreatment in the name of money.

And here we have the penoza which is pretty much the same thing. What else can I do, I just avoid their stuff when I can. There is no meta-explanation to morality, I keep my own. Everybody is a hypocrite if they don't really give a shit about something, but are just having a cause. What's their cause really, being able to congratulate themselves on being oh so good. What else, they get a mental breakdown if they can't get their kids on a 99% white school (mandatory negroe) I am not going to jerk them off. I dispise them, all they want for themselves is what others should do. Company's make money. You don't have buy what they make. I don't buy it if I don't like what's behind it.

Denmark doesn't have a textile industry anymore. Danish clothes are designed in Denmark, but produced in Bangladesh.

Italian textiles are made by illegal immigrants(you know, those you want out) in sweatshops organized by the mob.

Have fun.

Oh, and:

I would if I could but I can't.

This is the exact statement you objected to 10 posts earlier. Try to read a little more carefully next time.

[Fragony]

I see no ambiguity, sorry. I am not responsible for the behaviour of other people, and in thus I don't need to defend anything. I wouldn't treat people as badly as some do but that some do that isn't my doing. I am just not buying their products, I wouldn't feel comfortable in these clothes so I don't buy them. Some of you must want me to be a bad person, trying to corner me in some immorality, but I got what I think is moral perfectly outlined for myself. Going to blame me for the existance of the gammora or the panoza, how exactly.

How do you know?
I only buy fair food clothes.

Mock it all you want, but the scumbags who let people work in poor conditions have a poor consumer in me. I am a humanist at heart, just a uncompromising one when it comes to other issues. Pay a little bit more, people should be payed properly for their labour. It's up to yourself what you buy, or don't buy. Pretty simple I'd say.
