Well then be insulted. I just don't put all my stock in something that a person heard from somebody else. I never said it wasn't true, but I haven't had the cold hard facts laid out in front of me so in my mind it is partially rhetoric, and you may be making some excessive claims. Human Rights abuses have been going on for years in the PRC, Vietnam, etc. We keep threatening to revoke MFN (most favored nation) status from China if they don't do something about it, but we never will. I would almost bet that the factories these "atrocities" may be happening in are not even owned by Nike. They may be contracted by them, but does Nike actually own and operate them with their own people? I also find it hard to believe that the Chinese government would allow a westerner to "live" with these people. Like I said, you may be totally right, and if so, dont buy Nike products if it makes you feel better. Oh, and with a population of 5 billion people or so, I am gonna have to call you out on their being "plenty of jobs from other american companies available". From what I have seen and read, these people fight to get a job in one of the western run factories.
