Please don't start a flame war over religion or lack there of. It isn't necessary to call out someone because you disagree with their religious beliefs. I am a Muslim and I will pray for their souls to go to heaven. You can pay your respects in another if you choose.

[TacticalShinobi]

This is a travesty. May they all go to Heaven.

[Ray Kalm]

You truly are cruel.

Those who own these inhumane sweatshops should be held accountable. The "market economy" is a horrible deception.

oh really, the owner's aren't rich. I've been to their houses. They drive the latest cars, their children go to universities in foreign countries. They spare no expense when taking me to the best hotels and golf courses, and they're not rich? Your country is fucked, if you continue to blame others. You need to change the laws in YOUR country. Mandate fire safety. mandate that you CANNOT lock factory doors so people don't leave. If polo moves to another country, what will you do?

A lot of people use it as a coping mechanism. Think of the literary mechanism deus ex machina for example. There are some things in the world that may never be proven by science and thus people think that because God is omniscient, that the only path to understanding is to believe.

This is the republican way... they are trying to make the US just like this... they get rid of all worker's rights and leave Americans to be exploited and abused jut like these sweatshop workers in 3 states, they have already repealed child labor laws and any state that has a republican majority have already gotten rid of many workplace safety laws, they are also trying to get rid of minimum wage and equal pay.

If you want the US to be a 3rd world country, vote republican.

If Islamic country's are only given one book you have a problem. There is nothing in the Qur'an about fire regulations, health and safety or human right. If you suppress a civilisation with religion this is what you get, fucking stupidity.
