    human rights abuse in some lawless part of the country that is being exploited by Thais and Chinese and God knows who else

    Maybe you're cognitively impaired, in which case I feel sorry for you  The exploitation by "*God knows who else" doesn't stop at the employers, neither is the concept of slave labour alien to their customers. By letting greed rule, and not carrying due out diligence, the likes of Starbucks and Bauer Hockey are effectively condoning the practice.

     

    *The use of the great wizard in the sky to strengthen an argument is uncommon amongst the intelligentsia. Something you should remember if you wish your ill considered rants to be taken seriously.

    People cant do good for doing bad it seems.

    The time must fly by in your world 

    Yes, except when I have to take time out to explain to numtpies that it isn't uncommon for charities to pocket, for themselves, over 90% of what they collect. In order to get it into their thick heads that the purpose of a charity may not always be what it seems. 

    Obviously people of such limited ability are unable to calculate that, in such scenarios as this, the intended recipients could well end up with well under 1% of the original sum. 

    then again, I may be wrong: charities don't operate in this manner and no one could be that dumb.

    proceeds from the event will be forwarded to the Piti Bhirombhakdi Foundation before being distributed to other charitable organisations

    A charity for charities. 

    Charities are well known for taking a much bigger cut than those they are supposed to be helping

    I hate to think, with the double filtering, just how much actually seeps down to the people who need it
