Really? you think the poor 18 year olds to be found living rough on the side of the streets maybe addicted to drugs and selling their body to fund a habit are living the easy life!

The point is every country has poor people! those working at foxconn are not starving like some people in the world!

saying the workers at foxconn need help because they dont have as opulent life as SOME people in the US is silly. especially when really we know nothing about the life of the foxconn workers not really!

what do the suicides tell us? not much really or about the same as the suicides at cornell(a UNIVERSITY full of 18 year olds living that easy life you spoke of) tell us.
