Why do only democrats oppose child sweatshops?

[The Rabbi]

What's good for the 1500s is good for 2010?

At least half of the US High School students would be far better off learning a trade than wasting their time in our public schools.

Public school did just fine for me. There are vocational programs available for students who want to focus on a trade. A few of my friends in HS went to the vo-tech. It's generally geared toward those entering the workforce directly after school, whereas regular high school is in preparation for higher learning and eventual entry into more advanced disciplines.

Then again, my school was one of the best in the state, and the state (New Jersey) is among the best in the union. Hence I could understand that my HS experience is not necessarily reflective of the nation as a whole.

If you're a representative product of today's high schools then I think we've found the problem with today's electorate.

While republicans remain silent when the subject comes up?

sponsored by Sherrod Brown D OH, and cosponsored by 60 other members, all Democrats

Decent Working Conditions and Fair Competition Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Where do you come up with stuff like this... and how do you keep a straight face when presenting it???

 

[Jeremy]

So besides Women and minorities conservatives also hate children? ******* weak.

Did i hear the OP say that no republicans co-sponsored this? Then I read his link and find things like this:

HR 1992 was sponsored by Michael Michaud, D ME, and cosponsored by 167 Democrats and 7 Republicans. It was introduced on May 2, 2007

Now, who is it that controlled the House in 2007?

And who is it then that probably killed this in committee?

Sorry but the House and the Senate have been in Democrat control for 3 1/2 years now. Republicans are blameless for your folks not doing what you want done.

Oh and by the way. I spend the extra dollars to get American made stuff when I can find it. How many of you actually look?

I try too Ollie. Funny, sticking to original intent, the Feds would had much better border and port control, earning through tariff, regulating, and handling charges. We would be in a better position to reject the products of slave labor before they even entered the market place. Instead image over substance is what we were sold. We all get screwed in the end this way.

No, you've pretty much exhausted the "stupid" inherent in this thread.
Wishing our own culture and economy on other countries is typical cultural imperialism. And it is about as practical as anything else the Left has.

Thinking that you can simply swoop in and transplant the US's culture, economy, and cost of living onto a third-world nation all at once is also typical of leftist "practicality". The very idea that they might have to work up to where we are over time - let alone that all the things listed are symptoms of their third-world culture, not of attempts to industrialize - seems beyond the left.

Regardless of the politics, it is bad practice that should not be supported or encouraged. Matters of Right and Justice should take precedence over Ego and Culture. We should not condone this.

You could start by returning Liberty Island to It's rightful owner.

New Jersey The only State that makes you look good is Louisiana. That's gonna change too Son.

About the only things I agree with Governor Patterson on, is his views on New Jersey.

We swept in and replaced the existing socioeconomic system with sweatshops run by and for Western corporations trying to evade labour and environmental laws.

You had no problem with that.

Some of us want to see those factories held to higher standards and people treated with dignity, paid fairly, and working under safer conditions, not denied a month's pay if they try to escape, and not crammed into tiny 'dorms' with a single toilet and prevented from leaving the compound.

And you call us evil.


What more can be said other than that you're a piece of ******* shit?

3. Socialism aims to liberate the peoples from dependence on a minority which owns or controls the means of production. It aims to put economic power in the hands of the people as a whole, and to create a community in which free men work together as equals.

6. In recent years the peoples in the underdeveloped areas of the world have been finding Socialism a valuable aid in the struggle for national freedom and higher standards of life. Here different forms of democratic Socialism are evolving under the pressure of different circumstances. The main enemies of Socialism in these areas are parasitical exploitation by indigenous financial oligarchies and colonial exploitation by foreign capitalists. The Socialists fight for political and economic democracy, they seek to raise the standard of living for the masses through land reform and industrialisation, the extension of public ownership and the development of producers’ and consumers’ cooperatives.

11. Socialism is an international movement which does not demand a rigid uniformity of approach. Whether Socialists build their faith on Marxist or other methods of analysing society, whether they are inspired by religious or humanitarian principles, they all strive for the same goal — a system of social justice, better living, freedom and world peace.

4. Socialists have always fought for the rights of man. The Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man which has been adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations must be made effective in every country.

...


Socialism seeks to replace capitalism by a system in which the public interest takes precedence over the interest of private profit. The immediate economic aims of Socialist policy are full employment, higher production, a rising standard of life, social security and a fair distribution of incomes and property.

Geeze. I thought you were a smart person. The KKK is an organization with specific goals and broadly agreed upon tenets that aren't up for debate.The Jewish people? Not so much. In fact, in any religion you will find points of disagreement. I could see a jaundiced view of some sects beliefs, specific problems with specific theories, but, no, I don't think I'd like to "get down in the shit," thanks just the same.

Really? So the commandments of their god are up for debate? That's not what their holy books say. Where are you getting your disinformation?

In fact, in any religion you will find points of disagreement.

The Kikes' religion demands that the non-kikes be slain. Witches are to be slain. Homosexuals are to be slain. Non-**** virgin girls can be raped and made into sex slaves while non-virgins are to be slain.


All who defend

Their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.

as a 'just' judgment upon the unbelievers, is a piece of shit deserving of no respect


The kikes demand death for a man who does not wish jis family to die form the cold

On six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be sacred to you as the Sabbath of complete rest to the Lord. Anyone who does work on that day, shall be put to death. You shall not even light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day

**** the kikes

"At that time the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he went throughout the land of Gilead and Manasseh, including Mizpah in Gilead, and led an army against the Ammonites. And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD. He said, "If you give me victory over the Ammonites, I will give to the LORD the first thing coming out of my house to greet me when I return in triumph. I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering."

"So Jephthah led his army against the Ammonites, and the LORD gave him victory. He thoroughly defeated the Ammonites from Aroer to an area near Minnith - twenty towns - and as far away as Abel-keramim. Thus Israel subdued the Ammonites. When Jephthah returned home to Mizpah, his daughter - his only child - ran out to meet him, playing on a tambourine and dancing for joy. When he saw her, he tore his clothes in anguish. "My daughter!" he cried out. "My heart is breaking! What a tragedy that you came out to greet me. For I have made a vow to the LORD and cannot take it back." And she said, "Father, you have made a promise to the LORD. You must do to me what you have promised, for the LORD has given you a great victory over your enemies, the Ammonites. But first let me go up and roam in the hills and weep with my friends for two months, because I will die a virgin." "You may go," Jephthah said. And he let her go away for two months. She and her friends went into the hills and wept because she would never have children. When she returned home, her father kept his vow, and she died a virgin."
​

I'm supposed to respect these vermin?

They demand that a rape victim marry her rapist and become his sex slave for life.

Theirs is a religion of pure evil and malice.

 

[JBeukema]

Cecile calls evil those who want to end the exploitation of children and those who oppose genocide.


The absurdity of condemning those who oppose evil is such that I find it hard to believe anyone can really think as she does.


She is evidence that evil truly does exist.

So you use an almost prehistoric "history" book to condemn an entire people? Better be prepared to be pissed off at the Christians as well, Islam, and others.
All religions "holy" books have some pretty harsh stuff in them. I guess its a matter of how you view the book itself, and the credit you give to others of their views and interpretations. Good luck sorting through it all, or not, as it were.
