    This is to see exactly how much the United States and Europe exploits people third-world countries. Think about sweatshops. My shirt was made in Peru, my pants were made in Vietnam, and my shoes were made in Vietnam also. The corporation that manufactured the clothes didn't earned any money from me buying my clothes because I buy all of my clothes second-hand from donation shops. As an added bonus, the profit of the donation shops goes mainly to homless ppl.

    Anywho, look at your clothing tags. It will help you understand how much corruption we got around us.

    shirt.. america umm couldnt find a tag on the pants. I got the shirt at this company called american apperel.. apparently sweatshop free. But there really expensive so i didnt get much. it was sorta weird being in that shop there. I read about it and it was like sweatshop free and it was like oh cool and then i went there and there was like penthouse magazines everywhere. thats awesome you people make your own clothes though.

    shirt USA, art by my sweetie
    only thing I'm uninformed on is my glasses frames.
    most of my clothes are second hand or from a shop supporting the Nepali expats in India.

    So what if all our clothes were made in the US and Europe? In what way does something being made somewhere = us exploiting that place? :confused: So if we only buy made in the USA shit, are we exploiting the US? So basically as long as we're buying shit that was made someone is being exploited? :confused: Anyway, people wouldn't work in sweatshops if they had other better options, so.... :rolleyes:
