Excellent observations my Slavic brother! You must be a man of excellent qualities to possess such penetrating wisdom. I sense that a strong man like you could lead these lost children into a brighter future for us all.

I believe we should outlaw outsourcing and embargo Communist China.

Thanks for a good video Scrappy - the music was appropriate too.I used to work when I was a kid in the late 60's and early 70's. I worked as a farm labourer, then sold snacks and then worked as a receptionist for a loan company and also sold illegal moonshine for a kind old lady. It was voluntary and part time and school had to get first priority - nobody told me to go work. I think it did me good. Child labour like this video shows is not acceptable.

Thanks for the video Scrappy - the choice of music was also very appropriate. Child labour should never be allowed.However I also worked when I was a kid in the late 60's and early 70's. I worked on a farm as a labourer, then as a snack vendor and then as a receptionist for a loan company. It was quite acceptable to the community and also my parents. However the work was all part time and voluntary - nobody asked me to work and I was expected to go give school first priority. Did well since.

In those days it was better to work then not to work. People lived in poverty (there was no welfare system). Our mindset today cannot comprehend nor understand what these people went thru and why they were grateful to anyone who would let them work. In those days you could buy a lot with a nickel or even a dime. So if these people got paid for so many cents per day you could live on that. Today such cents are easily tossed to the ground.

the economy improved to the point child labor wasn't needed. What? Please explain. Why exactly was child labor needed in the early economy and not in the later one. And the child wouldn't be selling themselves on the street, they'd be at home enjoying being a child. How pathetic you are for someone who had an easy upbringing to argue for child labor and for millions of children to go through such exploitation. You should of worked in the mines as a 10 year old.

THe reason child labor went away was not because of child labor laws, but because capitalism eventually improved the economy to the point that it didn't need child labor. And to the people who believe there actually helping these children, get over yourselves,If these children weren't working, they would be in streets selling themselves for sex and starving. Thats a lot worse than working.ANd today,there tryin to stop child labor in india and stifling the progress there and actualy make it worse |
