You'd think that a company making so much money would have a little compassion on their employees but no. Corporate greed has gotten ahold of management them and turned them into compassion-less slave drivers who could care less about the people that work for them... just as long as the managers and executives and the CEO are filling their pockets with money WHO CARES ABOUT THE WORKERS, RIGHT??? I think "worker's rights" and Foxconn are about as far apart from each other as the sun is from Pluto. The day that Foxconn actually puts two cents into their employees well-being is gonna be the day that pigs fly. Also, when Foxconn got sued or whatever for bad working conditions, Apple audited them? Seriously? How stupid is that? Of course Apple found no problems at all! THEY ARE FOXCONN'S BIGGEST CUSTOMER!!! DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THEM??? I'd be very interested to see what a person who wasn't a direct buyer of Foxconn had to say about the conditions there had they sent him in? But hey, that's just another "it'll happen when pigs fly" analogy, sadly. My heart goes out to all the workers there who are forced to work in unimaginable conditions while their managers, who in the meantime are sitting in their huge mansions drinking beer and watching TV or whatever, expect them to just smile and become basically a machine. To the executives at Foxconn, you are not a human/person, but rather a machine and nothing more. All in all, this is yet another example of how corrupt, lopsided, and unfair business is these days. Shame on Foxconn and all the corporations whose infinite amount of greed has caused to blatantly disregard basic workers and human rights. Man, is this ever sad.

I have to give credit to any country that can change so much in such a in all reality a short period of time. Now things are still not perfect but we have to realize that we live quite differently in Canada and the U.S. then the rest of the world one only needs to go south of the boarder too see that. Human rights are improving all be it at a pace most of us would wish was faster but there still improving OK what most of you have forgotten is that 10 years ago we new about as much about mainland china as we know about North Korea now. it was not until that horrid affair with the student being run over by a tank that the world really took notice.
