Are you saying there is something bad about sweatshops found within such cultures?
I was referring to the Jokes made about Chinese and Asians. I can understand disliking her because she is not Christian like you guys, but that's a little uncalled for; don't cha think?

Do you want equal time? OK...

Yes. When I'm in need of a quick, easy joke, I go the Aussie route.

One really does need a thick skin to last on this forum. But it's good preparation for life in the real world. :cowboy:

A good question - I don't think it was necessarily bait. It's not very ethical but it's probably hard to avoid these days if you're not wealthy. I remember my mother making a lot of our clothes (which I didn't appreciate at all when all the other kids at school seemed to have cool bought clothes) until she realised she could buy them more cheaply than what she paid for the material to make them. Clothes were probably pretty expensive when she was growing up because of where and how they were made.

Woah! Who said anything about disliking Audie? I think she's much loved here.

If I didn't know better (and I don't) I'd think you're a pom if you're that easily offended.
What do you think Storyteller? ;)
I think audie is very much loved on here too.

Its hard being a pom, getting offend at the drop of a hat too..
