You are surely not trying to present yourself as some fucking guru on this, you fraud!

You're a consumer I know this, because you're alive. You smoke too - you said so. Have you checked out the working conditions of a lot of children on tobacco farms. Your hypocricy knows no bounds, and that you try to influence people like ............. with your pretences, possibly to boost your ego, disgust me, Mike.
That's good to know thanks.
Yes we all consume but it's nice for me to live completely at odds with it all and everyone in it. :up:
Santa Fe Spokesman Mark Smith says his company's recent success has just as much to do with the company’s philosophy and values as it does good farming practices. Sante Fe prides itself on being “earth friendly” and “socially progressive.” The company powers its facilities' electrical needs with renewables; "adopted" a portion of, and donated $150,000, to restore the Santa Fe River in New Mexico's capital city; and extends its benefits package to gay and lesbian domestic partnerships.

In a monumental victory, Adidas has agreed to compensate 2,800 Indonesian garment workers who were owed US $1.8 million in severance pay following the closure of sportswear factory PT Kizone. International campaigners and workers have forced German sportswear giant Adidas to settle with workers who have been fighting for the money owed to them since April 2011, when the factory closed down and was declared bankrupt.

I take it you mean it's nice for you to bitch about it - but do what you accuse others of anyway, because we don't have a choice, or available knowledge on most producers.

BUT I do like the Santa Fe tobacco company. Very good indeed. A bit like 'Fair Trade' by the sounds of it.

*Edit* I thought it sounded vaguely familiar. I smoke American Spirit, which I'd done some homework on first a few years ago. I just checked & they are part of the Santa Fe co.

The shitty state that the world is currently in (child slavery, third world exploitation etc etc) is NOT the fault of ordinary people in ''first world'' countries purchasing food clothes & other necessities, end of.

Go & lay the blame firmly on the doorstep of those who created this global nightmare, where it belongs ffs.

There are quite obviously levels of consumption and many people's sole aim in live is to increase their ability to consume, the way they do this is by becoming more selfish more egocentric and more wealthy ;)
Everyday I become less self defined, personally neglectful and self destructive and poorer (what with the cut in JSA and rise in basic things like electric, of which I use very little on my meter.

Hahaha! That'll be right. With so many here struggling to make ends meet, they should be queuing up demanding that stuff they can barely afford should be made more expensive. Get real!

Or perhaps you mean more comfortable, in line with the natural drive of a corporeal entity.

So you claim to be very frugal - when Irre stated that he was, yesterday, your response was, "Pathetic!" I think you're just full of it.

As India approached independence from British rule in the early 20th century, the caste system was increasingly criticized as a discriminatory and unjust system of social stratification, especially in regard to the impoverished untouchables...

Umm no...the figures are value based not per head, lol :)
