    What is this thrift store? Is it an ethical company? Do they make sure none of their clothes are sourced from sweat shops?

    Thrift stores are stores where people donate their clothes/furniture/other items too. Then, they are sold for reeeally cheap prices so poorer ppl can afford them. The 2 in my town make sure that thousands of pounds of clothes, books, etc. are sent to 3rd-world-countries every year. It's fabulous:D

    Plus, they have awesome retro clothes:cool:

    Whoo! Splendidly grand! I love thrift stores as well. I think I'll go tomorrow. If my mom is willing to drive me (she loves them too). I can't wait until I have my license.

    I personally prefer clothes made in sweat shops. They insure quality of product.

    hahahahaha oh shit.
    Personally, I dont give a fuck where my clothes come from, wether they are cheap or expensive, or what they are made of. If I like it, I buy it.

    Well, same here.

    ( I just like pissing off the idiots that think that sweat shops are actually "evil" by saying that all of my clothes are from them)

    I have found flannel shirts to be cheap.. and I like them too. $2.00 for a flannel shirt... Well, I don't know about sweat shops. It kinda pisses me off, but then again, where are you going to find US made stuff... I really don't care a whole lot about bush and him getting ratings for driving the economy, but I really think companies like nike could give people working their asses off in vietnam and other places an extra quarter or two at the least. :eek:
