USA: Chinese Jewelry “Poisonous”

i said equally at fault not more.. u fail at reading comprehension
walmart doesnt inspect their product because THEY ARE LAZY AND CHEAP AND DONT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS!! any decent resellers should care for their customers to inspect their products and know what is in it before bringing it onto their market

I could name at least 4 or 5.

Go ahead.

actually yes, if no one buys the drugs, there wouldn't be a problem in the first place

wait a sec...u saying that you think your drug dealer is a good person? and dont expect a drug dealer to replace some of your coke with just a bit of rat posion?

Actually both are drug dealers. But, still, yes; this is outrageous!

And pointlessrockstar is right; drug dealers are often too shortsighted to see the symbolic relationship that the weak cattle expects.

Actually i find this comparison a bit odd. Since the market is broken into producer, supplier and consumer.

In the article's case China is the producer Walmart the supplier and USA citizens the consumer

In the analogy you gave however Drug farmer are the producer, drug dealer are the supplier and the junkies are the consumer.

I dun see the link in your analogy

Actually the analogy is slightly off
The market is split in to producer, supplier and consumer.

In the article China is the producer, Walmart the supplier and US people the consumer.

With drugs, drug farmers are the producer, drug dealers are the suppliers and junkies are the consumers. So yeah.

opps posted twice sry

you know anon, i guess he didn´t mean THAT kind of Drug dealer....

well i was trying to go by wat the the first anon said about drugs (and trying to be funny about it in a sarcastic way but i guess that didnet work) but my point was this: they know that there products anit exactly "top of the range" but they still buy from them cos there cheap....so there just as evil as each other.

It's basically Supply and Demand, if Walmart doesn't demand stuff at really low prices this would less likely to happen. They can either check the items first...which should have been done in the first place, since otherwise you don't even care what's on your shelf?

China is capable of producing better stuff, but you get what you paid for, or it's just you like production supervision.

good call, for the inside the nutshell version XD.

Though it's not a good reason by any measure of morality or ethics, it's because China produces a shit ton more cadmium than any other part of the world. As a result, it's pretty dang cheap over there, and since it looks like any other silvery metal, it would come as a benefit to the money-grubbing cockfags who run these cheap jewelry factories.

Why? Because cheap toys sell. It's called capitalism, deal with it or vote for communism. (Capitalism really needs this kind of thinking, it wouldn't be capitalism anymore if people wouldn't rip off others or care for their fellow men.)

Well said Chen-03, I completely agree!

Anyone find it slightly ironic that these toys/jewelery are probably under US commission?

lol Chen-03, very interesting perspective, yet completely true. The very idea of capitalism frictions against morality.

And the idea of communism creates even more friction with morality so we're pretty well doomed to chose the lesser of evils.

I'm assuming the 03 in your name refers to your year of birth, troll.

Actually the idea of communism is something pretty, but sadly no one ever put it into practice and probably no one ever will, because it's like, whatever we write on our flag, it's still the same type of people under it.

btw @ 13:55 15/01/2010: The 03 actually refers to nothing, but it makes STRG+F so much easier, as I don't always get 'kitchen'.

Agreed again Chen, Communism as an ideology is great. Unfortunately human nature makes it impossible for that to work. China and other nations have proven that to the world as they gravitate towards capitalism.

Oh and to 13:55 15/01/2010, Chen is making insightful arguments with valid reasons, the only one that trolled in here's you.

ah yes, the obligatory name calling and groundless statements. how sad

Well, yes Artefact. This is also one of the reasons why communism wouldn't ever work. People aren't cut out for it. Most of us need to stay above others or at least try really hard to believe in it. Filthy chinese, filthy pagan, filthy otaku and so on...

Most puzzling is btw that the people who would actually benefit from something like (real) socialism are the ones who destroyed it two decades ago in east germany. The sad thing is that happiness for everyone actually breeds anger. After all, what should I do everyday if there wasn't anything to voice my complaints over? A pretty dull life, I'd say.

hm, so you're saying people inherently want to complain? Personally I think it's because people can't obtain happiness that they complaint and resent. Can you elaborate on your view on that?

Yes, I'm saying people like to complain or play the blame game and want to be better than others. Just watch the japanese. They don't have a lot of outsiders who they could insult in their country, so they invented this bloodtype-thing. (I'm not to sure how exactly it works, but I know there are bloodtypes that are better than others.)

I once read an article from some philosoph about the fullfillment of wishes and how every fullfilled wish wouldn't make actually happy, but make the person sad. It's because people don't actually want those wishes to become true, they just want to wish something. It's like kids wanting something they can't get. Just because they can't get it, they want it badly. (Or like with woman and married guys.) But if they fullfilled this wish, they wouldn't become happy, it would just leave a hole of some kind and make them sad because they lost something. They lost a wish. It's like that with happiness, too. We all want it badly and strive for it, but getting it would surely make us sad. I'm not talking about some happiness in your life, but about achieving total 'happiness' for all your life. It would finally get boring.

There are lots of stories about this, like young kids from rich parents who couldn't wish for anything do drugs or stuff because they are bored with their 'happy' lives. As a matter of facts it's the process of running after your dreams that is the most enjoyable. Finally achieving your dreams will leave you with the aformentioned hole.

Good for the mind body and soul lol

Good for hospital revenues too.

If it didn't help, you didn't use it enough.

In china, poisonous substances don't kill.

it don't it only makes you super rich.

What's poisonous about Heavy Metal? Other than the fact that it's actually not a very good movie.
