I'll be honest, ethics don't bother me. Primark had a recent tv program about them and their ethics, they straight away afterwards moved labour elsewhere... the programme had to apoligise as the sweatshop lost money. 10073

I'm wearing right now clothes made in a sweatshop, as will a lot of people here, if we buy these clothes it's creating a demand for sweatshop made clothes, that demand is the same as buying from the distribution centre in batch ourselves (i've never used a sweatshop personally) There is so much talk about ethics, but that's all it is, talk. No matter how much we try, it isn't going to change and the difference between ordering Gildan t-shirts from America or Gildan t-shirts printed from India is in my eyes very little. <blockquote>i don’t know what babycakes is doing but you come across as a pretty ignorant and heartless person who’s led a privileged safe western life</blockquote> If you would like to email me about my opinions to save the unnecessary drama which has become all too common here, please do so. rik@track9.info 10073
