Maybe a litle more education would help your plight levgre, I said nothing that is not known by anyone studying this topic. I have seen you reveal much ignorance in the past, specifically denying water did not help dehydration, so it is no surprise seeing you here again embarassing yourself.

Conflict diamonds are diamonds.

Just because you don't buy them, or the Foxconn components doesn't mean others will not buy them too.

Therefore, one person not buying them has no impact.



Might as well not vote either, cause hey... your one vote doesn't matter.

In fact none of us should bother voting!

One person might not make a huge immediate impact, but as that one person tells friends, and they jump on board things start to snowball. Word of mouth, boycotts, protests, change... it all starts with ONE person.

I'm an asshole, so reading about the Foxconn stuff just made we want to buy some of their stock or something.

I know what blood diamonds are but I have never met anyone who refused Diamond rings on the principle of what their money is used for.

Asrica if any land mass that needed serious intervention it is that one.

People don't care when it's their hybrid cars, cellphones, PCs and so forth, I guess.



Still get ignored.

Sociopath?

I think you need to Google the definition, cupcake.

Narcissist is far more accurate. I suggest reading a book a day to make up for your idiocy.
