Don't you know Steve jobs funded slave labor?
http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS433US...
A lot of corporations fund slave labor. I'm sure you love living a life where your luxuries were created by a starving child. Start cleaning the blood off your hands, and start educating yourself on the companies you purchase from
FOOD ESPECIALLY. American food market has created mass famine. Care about starving countries? LOOK AT WHERE YOUR FOOD IS FROM.
Care about little girls being stolen from their house and used as slaves? LOOK AT WHERE YOUR **** IS MADE. This economical globalization does not have the political ideologies behind it that can support a humane system. We're all too busy fighting over who's liberal or conservative-- Political ideologies that fit an really, really really old model of economics.
Wanna stop suffering? It starts with you in the market.
(Btw, I have my degree in international economics, but if you don't believe me you can Google it, go your library and ask a reference librarian about it.. etc etc.. This has been a well documented phenomenon in the academic world)

And your computer that you rant from is 100% American made by unionized labor? And the same goes with all of your clothes, electronics, food, and other products?
It is funny that Steve Jobs was so much criticized as an evil capitalist when he was the main competitor of the largest monopoly in the United States: Microsoft. Are you a schill for Bill Gates?

Well I agree that perhaps what you say could be right. But what products do I stop buying? I mean Ive been to poor countries with starving people and told them to stop working for these companies but they say "they need the work". Should we close the plants in Philippines because of exploitation, what about the plants in Kansas that exploit poor often uneducated men and women and young adults? At what point do we decided what is and is not exploitation? Is a woman who makes 10,000 a week a prostitute a exploited person or is she exploited if she makes 5 dollars a week? Am I exploited because I don't work and take care of my family?
I think the problem is you are confusing systemic poverty with exploitation. I mean in England a factory worker might get paid 5 x what an american makes, so is the american exploited. In AMerican makes 5 x what a japanese worker makes, is the japanese worker exploited. In Japan a worker makes 5x what a philippine worker makes, is the philippine worker exploited. ANd if they are paying different amounts for housing, food, and services, why do you not think the companies are being exploited by consumers who pay less in say the philippines for the same product as an american would?

I think the guy that invented the T.V. dinner did more for life that Steve Jobs did, and I have my wife's cooking to prove it!
Americans like the losers protesting on Wall Street don't realize the suffering that went into the making of their Ipods and Iphones. What a bunch of losers! It is equally disgusting that they don' realize that our own government forces companies like apple and others to go overseas and exploit the foreign workforce.

I don't own any apple products bro, but I give him props for his technology vision.. I'm not even sure if he's a liberal or a conservative.
But look at it this way budd.. we all live in a civilization built on a mountain of carbon and exploitation of other countries resources.. Nobody can look at themselves as blameless budd - not one swinging d i c k..
It's the same as tossing a can in a recycling bin.. it's like putting a bandaid on a 5 inch sucking chest wound.

Food? LOL. Try abolishing the Migrant Labor Act. This is one form of slavery in America today. Big ag giants control the food market. There is plenty of space to grow our food, but government policies globally cause food shortages. The IMF and the UN are the biggest oppressors in the world.

I did some research on Jobs, he was not a nice stand up kinda guy...(but just the kinda guys the leftists LOVE).And I am proud to say I have never purchased one of his products.
