Mac Boycott

[aristobrat]

Repressed people need help and I for one think a bit of consumer pressure is not a bad thing.

So you want Apple to move their manufacturing to another country, likely causing thousands in China to lose their jobs. That's helping them?

Exactly, he has a point. I watched an awesome yet sad documentary called "Walmart : High Cost of a Low Price" and as much as I think we should move factories else where, that not the case since the Chinese desperately need jobs.

What we should do is to force the Chinese government to set minimum wage standards for anyone working for or in relationship with a foreign company so that all Chinese factory workers are protected and small business in China can be exempt or something. I'm not an economic pro so I don't know much of what I'm talking about hehe, just my 2 cents.

However, it's ridiculous, I heard that China wants their Army to be stationed in Australia for the Olympic torch race and Australia had to keep China that it believes in freedom of speech. rofl... China.. hehe

Good luck with your boycott, I'm still going to buy Apple products. However, I have never and will not shop at Walmart.
