I love Americans. I love AMerican society. And I love American ignorance. I mean the single most fascinating component of AMerican society is our ignorance.

We are not humans, we are consumers. aeromatic500 December 14 2003, 09:44:54 UTC
There's a very good reason we don't think about racism in American society, because it is completely neccessary for our way of life. Look on the back of whatever t-shirt you're wearing, look at where it's made: Honduras, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico. Yah, I'm sure all of these workers are making minimum wage, right.

Capitalism thrives only because we have these sources of cheap labor to help cut costs, without all these FTZ's, everything on the market would be more expensive. Imagine having to buy a pair of jeans that were made by someone who could actually support their family on the wages they were earning! Imagine that ( ... )

wait, those mexicans and hundurans and chinese and indonesians don't make minimum wage? oh that's it.

besides, why don't they just come here and work at mcdonald's. and why don't they just go to college and get nice jobs. come on.

oh, and just so you know, some of the biggest perpetrators of this utilization of cheap foreign labor are ford and gm. that domestic car of yours was probably made in mexico, and your mercedes is probably more likely to be made in the us. so go buy mercedes, mexicans, after you get your desk jobs.

oh, and come one, come all to bombay, where i can peddle you useless, tacky home furnishings that other stupid people will probably pretend to like then throw away, just like little kids do at christmas. buy more shit!
