aliceBB Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 No I won't be buying one. I have an inbuilt instinct for the correct time, and I already have a mobile phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo77 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 The vast majority of the clothes on our backs are made in "sweat shops" in places like India and china . should we stop buying clothes ? If you know for a fact that they're made by slaves, yes you should!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I have developed my own special concept of time, whereby an hour can last anything between a couple of minutes (of conventional time) to all day (or longer under extreme temporal circumstances). Although I spearhead the advancement of technology here at 'Area 51 and a Half ®', I doubt that the Apple watch can be programmed to meet my exacting horological requisites. Unless it has a fast-forward and reverse button for time travel on the side of it, I think I can be fairly certain in saying that I won't be bothering to buy one. The exact replica I built of an H1 out of papier mache works admirably for my needs, and being light(ish) can, if necessary, be Sellotaped to my arm for recreational purposes (or a fashion statement).

Alcoblog Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Will it not turn to pulp in the rain though Alcoblog? I'm not an idiot ... it's completely waterproof due to having been given three coats of gesso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discodown Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If you know for a fact that they're made by slaves, yes you should!!You keep using this word slaves. Are you sure you know what it means? Are they actually slaves? Are we talking forced unpaid labour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we talking forced unpaid labour? Depends how you look at it. Forced into it because there's no other work for them. Made to work 15 hour shifts with no breaks. No access to the outside world and made to do military style exercises before the start of their shifts.............Yeah, maybe it can't be classed as slavery because they could always leave and live on the streets.

Surely the smartest thing to do with slaves is to not let them know they are slaves and give them the illusion that they have choices. But we could never let happen to us.......... oops. . .
