    I know people talk about prisoners and wage slaves, but the United States is also participating in, and profiting from, child slavery as well; it just doesn’t happen in the states. Just take a look at where your chocolate comes from, if it’s Hershey, Mars, or Nestle, it was probably harvested by someone under 15 who has never even tasted chocolate. And the US is just… cool with it.

      That’s why it gets brought up all the time and why we have companies that sell chocolate that didn’t exploit child labor. Because we’re all just cool with it.

        Yeah and those companies are doing SO much better than Nestle, right??? Fucking moron, the US ON AVERAGE is cool with it, but sure, jump on my one generalization and try to minimize the actual issue.

          Of course they’re not doing better than nestle lmao. That doesn’t mean we’re not trying. Insulting me like a petulent toddler doesn’t help your argument in any way. Jesus christ. What a fucking baby. Go back to reddit please. Or maybe Facebook is more your style with that tantrum.

            If you wanted a conversation you wouldn’t have been sarcastic in the first place, and you wouldn’t have taken the bait so easily. I have no time for morons.

              I’m sorry I guess I didn’t realize that sarcasm would make you too upset to have a civil conversation. That’s my bad. I forget how sensitive some of you are

                Ah yes, the classic asshole defense. Be an asshole then when you get called out on it, call the others “sensitive.” You have already proven you’re a moron, but feel free to continue commenting.
