He was tried because he was like you said not in love with the idea that his company would get a bad reputation. But he is a lunatic that just wants to have it his way. Everyone knows that who works at IKEA. All things in the stores have to be put in the way he likes it, and IKEA is a family company that has no stock on the market. So he can do almost anything to get it going. He is believe me a true capitalist who has no concience.

Love Leelene

So long as people buy his products he will like other corporations not give a F**k.....

Its like the people who complain about Mcdonalds,how they exploit children,at the end of the day,one person cant make a blind but of difference because if there still in business then why should they give a hoot....until they loose profits over priorities and morals they wont care..because for every person who decides to not buy the product there will always be another who will.....

If you dont eat meat on principle of cruelty to animals...does that mean that Animal culling will stop!!! No it won't!!!!

You can have an opinion and express disgust,but not everyone bothers with moral obligatory.How many of you have stopped shopping in a shop on principle that they exploit a person or thing...
We live in a world of the Here and now age,people dont really think about the poor 8 year old in a sweatshop working 16 hours a day just so they can have that nice little coffee table...Because in the western world,we dont care much about it as we have everything at ease for us....

there are people that have to travel 10s of mile a day in certain places in Africa just for there daily intake of water,yet we rarely think about it whilst we turn on the tap for clean fresh water.....Because we dont have to worry about it.the same with most third world exploitations...

Money is what makes the world go round,when you have lots of it you want more,when you have little of it you learn to live stringently,but given the chance most people would rather someone else suffered the indignety of poverty and exploitation at the cost of their own gain and wealth,you can't blame the manager of a store for his fortune,or his attitude towards child labour,because if people didn't buy his franchise then he wouldn't have cause to exploit people at his greed,so who is really to blame!!!!it's certainly from where i stand not the fatcat company directors because without the people buying they wouldn't have fortune...

The favourite argument of people who tries to convince me that my choice to become a vegetarian was wrong...

Demand for the product creates its supply. That's the basic law of economy.

So when one person resigns from meat - sure, nothing will really change. But if there're thousands of them...

And after all - I don't want to support this business anymore. I don't want to eat meat of a caw suffering for her whole life.

I do, you won't catch me on this :P


I generally understand your point, but I think as long as we can do something which wouldn't really cost us much - like segregating rubbish or helping homeless animals - we should do it, even to...pay the debt, as we're all so happy, having clean water and our computers, and notknowing what's poverty.

It's obvious that nobody will save the world by refusing to buy in McDonald or IKEA. But if more people become aware of some facts, if media makes a fuzz...it's a chance for some things to get better.

It's also obvious that all of us can find something hypocrytical in other's behaviour, in mine too. But I think that's not the point.
