    "assembled" in the USA!

    i saw a frisbee that was made in mexico, then shipped to china to be printed on, then shipped to america to be sold, seems weird that its cheaper to ship it around the world than to just print it in mexico...

    That's their problem. Just because they are misguided doesn't mean I am happy about their shitty situation.

    I don't use Apple products, no. But I can see how someone might think I'm some insufferable hipster, so it's a common mistake.

    Accepting how the world works and actively not giving a shit about injustice that you support are two very different things.

    That is actually pretty cool, thanks. However, my point still remains:

    The fact is that the majority of electronics contain coltran, the majority of which comes from slave mines in the DRC. The component parts are then assembled in China or Taiwan via sweatshop labor. It's nice that a company like the above exists and is supporting American labor and local economies, but there is no getting around the injustice that goes into building our electronics (all electronics, not just apple products.)

    Can't argue with that. Nothing is set in stone, however.

    better than complaining and whining about it and then continuing to utilize the product that you are against.

    If I gave zero shits about other people (like you, it seems) then I would leave society and "be Amish." But I have too big a heart. The only way in today's society you're going to spur any change is through the internet and computers. So, no, it isn't better.

    Wouldn't you do what they say?

    That's a monstrously ridiculous statement. Maybe the silliest post I've ever seen.

    Maybe you're talking about just your little neighborhood, and have never really ventured outside of it. :dunno:

    Less than 10% of the world population owns a computer, and less than 1% of the world population has uncensored internet access.
