    Your really bringing up this argument in a thread about a specific topic?

    Because if we are actually gonna go there, referencing the suffering of others and legitimizing it as a way to tell others to stop whining, make no mistake that the next time I see you complain about your pile of shame, I'm gonna tell you to remember the starving, aids infected Africans who die in the thousands every day.

    I am not the one who sympathize all the blue collar workers being taking advantage of. I don't really see your point, but go ahead and do what you want to do. I can't stop your stupidity.

    No but your the one essentially saying, no one should complain, or be outraged about it, because kids in third world countries are making sneakers for $.14 an hour.

    I'm trying to understand how that makes a guy getting laid off from a job after 20 years of service, simply because he now makes too much, any less if an outrage (not in comparision, but on its own)?

    But by all means continue not making any sense, if its what you want to do with yourself. I can't stop your stupidity.

  4. Why wouldn't you sympathize those workers? They're our American bretheren and should be helped when they need it. If you feel so strongly about helping those in China without jobs before helping your own, then please go over there and do so.

    The people getting fucked in China or anywhere else are every bit as much "my own."

  6. Not when you live in the US. I never understood people keeping their ties to their previous nations once here. That's why we have so many problems as a people. The "-American" part added to the end of your nationality is the stupidest shit I've witnessed in my 23 years on this earth. You're American now, worry about American problems first before worrying about problems in other countries.

    Either that or go live there so your worrying can be beneficial and you'll actually get off your ass to do something about it.

    "People" comes before "American" as far as I'm concerned. American, Chinese, Babylonian, or whatever the fuck doesn't mean shit to me.

  8. So leaching off people to support yourself (Like I said unless you work at a company for a long period of time, Unemployment is not money you paid, unless someone is going to eventually come in here and prove that wrong and show the rate at which you are paying goes to Unemployment) comes first though.

  9. So you're going to focus on another group of people before we focus on ourselves? At what point will we then break when we're so focused on what outside countries are doing that we don't notice the collapse in our own society?

    Thats both fine and logical. So wouldn't the people who you can make a difference in their misery, come before the people who you couldn't?

    Realistically I'm talking about. If you could do something to save someones job, would you not do it because he wouldn't be as worse off as the starving children of Africa, or would you admit to yourself, short of dedicating your life to fundraising, and working in international programs, that you can't really do much but be outraged about the starving children of Africa, and help save the guys job?

    I'm not seeing the implications here that tell me I can't worry about the workers (at all) in America because there are things that are bad in other places.
