Yah I understand that's why I just said if you care about it then stop buying factory made things and you won't be supporting child slavery or slavery in general.

If you care about child slavery then you can easily buy products and goods that aren't factory made, maybe you should go modify your shopping list.

Him buying something made by a child doesn't really count as being something that affects him either, he doesn't go shopping and look at every thing and then feel bad, he's just doing normal shopping. The only affect child slavery has in this scenario for him is a positive one because he can buy what he wants due to it.

If that actually worked illegal child labor wouldn't be an issue.

I'm not asking him to feel like **** for buying stuff probably made using child labor, I just find it pretty contradictory to say that he cares about this but really doesn't.

>Care

>Don't care

Pick one.  

Yeah a large boycott will defer current of currency to child slave users.

That still doesn't fix the problem.

The reason it's so easy for big companies to make money off of this is because the children and adults who slave away at factory work do so because where they live it's one of the only ways to make money, by people not buying products we will actually just make things worse for them.

The solution is one that will require millions(possibly billions) of dollars and a lot of cooperation between world leaders which is why it will most likely never be fixed.  

Nobody here has the means to fix this problem.

It's fine to sympathize with it, as it's certainly not a topic anyone (but the slavers) supports, but to discuss care vs. fixing the scenario is pointless.

The issue is not simple enough for anything that could be discussed here to work, or it wouldn't be an issue in the first place. All of you here get many of your things indirectly through the facilitation of child labor, whether you like it or not.

On the note about caring for yourself...I agree with the standpoint of Bubbles. Look, it's terrible that this is happening but I have more important things to focus on. Like someone else in the thread said, if you just sit there and cry about every bad thing that happens on a daily basis, that's all you'll do. There isn't enough time to truly care and fix these problems on an individual basis, and you'll just stay sad all the time if you try.  

i dont really care, ill continue to buy products that are relatively cheap. luckily i dont consider anything from india, but china is almost unavoidable.

Imo there can't be much done about it really.

I knew someone in the past irl who actually sold women and young girls against their will for literally a few decades. He never got arrested for that even though he served 15 years in jail for other reasons.
What I'm saying is that it isn't easy to get into that entire slave/prostitute thing as a cop, and vice versa out of it too as a woman.

Don't really think that its preventable in huge societies and cities, also pretty sure things like selling women or enslaving people in general was always a thing in the history of humanity, so rip.

what the **** vici?

what the **** vici?

Well I mean I'm just saying that that guy is an absolute ass and if I had found anything on the internet or some pictures or articles I would most likely post them for you but the only time I saw them was when he showed me the pictures & articles in person back in 2011 or so.

Though the thing is he never got caught for any of these things plus it was waaaaaay back when he did that stuff, like in the 70's maybe. Pretty sure none of the former women and teens that have been drugged and had to sell their bodies and also became victims of rape are alive nowadays.  

There arent really bad things nor good things .
.. there are just choices.. you vhose what is good to you or what is bad you choose the way that you takes. In my own option i think that child slavery is really bad thing.

It's bad but personally this doesn't affect me at all.
I have my own life to live and don't feel the need to worry about things that aren't close to me.

Why? You wouldn't say "male person" or "female person".

Because we are people. Not a thing. When you just call us a, "transgender" over a, "trans/transgender person" it's found offensive to quite a few people in the trans community.  

Uhhhhh?

People always use 'female' 'male' instead of 'female/male + person' so it shouldn't be any different with transgenders. Never once seen a male or female complain about it, just looks like a dumb thing to over react too.

It's just how common english works, in no way do people say it because they don't think you guys are people.
