Foxconn employees,"makers of xbox" threaten mass suicide over work conditions and pay

[old man]

It seems like I heard somewhere (TV or something) that if the average wages over there went up about $3.00 it wouldn't be worth producing things over there anymore.

[Nunzio]

Ah ok(in any case, any country with billions of people in it, needs to have some kind of population control).

Nature's safety valve is war, disease and famine. If you want to get down to the nitty gritty they have to stop curing diseases for the poor (Chilly Willy already mentioned how they push smoking), raise food prices and send the young population to die in wars (utilizing conscription).

We just have to look backwards in history to see how they dealt with it before. China is naturally a cluster of warring provinces. As long as it is constantly infighting, the population can be controlled. But, China is now unified. And now they have this one kid per family thing so we'll see how that works out. I think winding up with a nation made of males is far worse than having a large portion of your youth die young. I imagine rape and sex crimes will rise dramatically in China as the female population continues to shrink.

One child for each family is a good start, but yea I agree with you on the only male part, WTF are they thinking. China has always had alot of rape, and such as is, but this is gonna make it a real common thing.

No, I put tekken in the same boat as MK(not a button masher, but sure not complex)

To Nunzio: It will take thousands of years for the chinese to go extinct, even if they enforce the one child per family(most of the worlds population is in china).

Japan on the otherhand is in real danger, if Japanese men don't start liking to play with their woman, more then them selves, experts calculated the Japanese will be extinct within 300 years.

rep'd

[Kamahl]

Japanese men don't play with themselves, they play with pillows and dolls.

[retrospiel]

a bunch of stuff about China

Foxconn is a Taiwanese company.

[Chilly Willy]

Foxconn is a Taiwanese company.

Which is part of China populated with Chinese... just ask China about it.

Most of what is said about "China" applies equally well to Taiwan.
