Millions...really? Where are the stats on these millions. And why don't you think women and seniors can't protect themselves. They aren't helpless you know.

Terribly hypocritical argument in light of the fact that your posting from an electronic device that is made by asian slave labor who often commit suicide due to horrid conditions. Google "suicide nets Iphone".

Like that garment you're wearing? It was probably made by bangladeshi child labor.

Wouldn't the right thing to do be to refuse to use/wear products that by boycotting might save even one life?

Didn't think so.

Last time I checked, women and seniors are at a Matabele disadvantage compared to men, especially crime aged men (16-30). If you want to lie to yourself and pretend men and women are physically equal then I can't help you.

Ok, let me clarify - your argument that "isn't saving just one life worth it" applies to you as well.

By being an American consumer, you enable and support by proxy needless death. Are you unaware of the labor and conditions that labor suffers under that allow you that iPhone (or similar device), the clothes you buy, etc?

Your argument "isn't saving just one life" doesn't apply to you yourself?

So much for "saving just one life" I guess...

"Save just one life" as long as it doesn't affect you personally, huh..

I mean, those iPhones ARE super nice after all lol... totally worth a few factory worker suicides for such a convenient and hip product...
