    Exactly, businessmen shouldn’t be held to any standard of moral or ethical consistency. This is about money, and money is good, so why all the hate?

      You’re joking right?

      Slavery makes more money than fair wages, but money is good, and we shouldn’t hold a business owner to any kind of ethical standard, so that’s fine to you? That’s some bootlicker mentality.

        Wow- you really turned the tables on me by suggesting buying a dvd player is roughly equivalent to being a exploitative billionaire. I really have a lot of soul searching to do ;)

          Don’t you know if you make a single mistake in your entire life, you’re morally tainted forever and therefore lose all right to criticize anyone or anything for any reason, you dirty, impure sinner! You should be ashamed of yourself! Now excuse me while I go commit my seventh puppy genocide of the day.
