Oh how lol[bertarian].

Taxation = theft amirite.

Poor = poor for a reason amirite.

State = evil amirite.

Don't kid yourself. The state is a violent, destructive institution of class dictatorship. The fact that the proles have bargained themselves the drippings from their master's plates doesn't legitimate the state.

Nike deserves to burn to the ground for their crimes, and the solution to unemployment is for the workers to storm the factory, kill the managers, and run the equipment themselves.

There is no excuse for Child Slavery.

No offence, but Sibirsky is right. If they wouldn't be working, they'd be starving in the streets. Nike is offering these children job and money, which they would be unable to get otherwise.
You, on the other hand are a terrible person; you support murdering innocent managers and stealing other people's property. That is unacceptable! D:<


Bullshit, pure bullshit, I can't believe you people actually support sweatshop labor

Anything that happens to these exploiters is fair game, poverty or not.
You don't need Nike to create better working conditions, that's a lie.

I am now reminded at why I find Capitalists disgusting.

Why do we even have these debates sadly no one is willing to take a good point. I think if theres a good point it should be used either left or right but no one will stand down its quite depressing.

True, it doesn't have to be Nike who creates jobs for these poor people. It can be Coca Cola or pretty much any other big corporation. These corporations are offering people a way out of the extreme poverty to semi-poverty, and they should be extremely happy and glad for it.

I said it was easy to get into a job where you do manual labor. And even though the job might be physically hard, mentally incredibly easy. You don't have to think at all.

Grateful to be chained to to their workstations while armed guards with rifles watch them from catwalks?
Grateful to earn a starvation wage?

Screw that, I wouldn't tolerate it, you wouldn't tolerate it. And if they strung their oppressors up by their testicles I would cheer the loudest.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Yes, they should be grateful that they have a job and guaranteed, steady source of income. If they'd strung their employeers from their testicles, the very people who have generously given them a job, they should be severely beaten for being very ungrateful. Nobody is forcing them to work there.

Lol.

You obviously have no experience of how poor people live. And how do you study independently if you can't afford books? If you have to work a job to help make sure your family remains in their home?

I have experience with both how poor people live and bad schools, myself going to a bad school and my family being very impoverished.

And how do you study independently if you can't afford books?


You can get books from libraries, free material on the internet, and books from school. My school is in the bottom 10% of the nation, with only 32% of students considered proficient in English and science. 97% of my school is below the poverty line. It offers four AP classes and no honors classes. I have still managed to take advantage of what I do have access to, while working 28 hours a week, excluding the weekend. I have a very high GPA as well as test scores, coming from all that.

If students work hard instead of complain about what their challenges, they can overcome them.
