Ned78 Darling.. You are very uninformed i must tell you.
infact if you would care to bother to read the article on the next link from AsianWeek.com, you might find that you have quite embarrassed yourself with your lack of knowledge about the sheer horror and slavery that other people endure making your "good quality" "cool" brand clothes.. I won't waste my breath saying much more on the subject on a thread entitled "Abercrombie and Fitch in ireland", though i will suggest that you try to read a bit more about what is really going on in the world.

I agree entirely. Those people who think they're so prestigious advertising companies on their clothes are so stupid.

Especially when what makes the clothes so prestigious is the traces of slave labourers' sweat in every Abercrombie hoodie. I guess that's what makes them so warm and snuggly!

I don't know.. I couldn't get comfortable in a sweat shirt!!!
I hear your sarcasim!

Seriously though, You people wearing these brand clothes are the same people that will be giving out and pointing the finger at hash smokers for being one and the same as the scumbags that import herion and are killing each other in the IFSC & sherriff street area.. but due to your complete ignorance, you fail to see that you are the ones supporting the DEATHS of young children working 70 to 100 hours a week in sweat shops.
Just before someone makes a crass point about me being a hash smoker or some other flimsy distraction - I am on moral high mountain - i don't smoke, drink or take drugs... so back to the point, why do you support the slave trade in third world countries? So far, you've given the reason being - "the hoodies are good quality".. :mad: :mad:

You do realise your post relates in absolutely no way to what you quoted from Ned. He wasn't talking about the merits of brands rather the reality of how they operate. Him knowing about sweatshops has absolutely know bearing on what he says and undoubtably wouldn't affect what he said in the slightest.

Tbh, in all the various threads I've seen you post in I've never seen someone post such continuous, nonsensical, illogical and unrelated crap.

I've never noticed anything you've ever posted.. sorry about that.

Allow me to ..... rofl.... just.

Seriously.. is that the only thing that you can pick up on as a comeback?..
that due to the disgust i felt towards the entire lack of understanding on this thread about why most big brand company care so much about making money that they will allow people to die for it, that in my haste, I didn't quote "Ned"'s "correct" post... and you think that by throwing in a personal insult, that you're making some kind of a valid point???
I think not.

Sangre.. If you need me to be specific to each of the ill informed points from Ned I can do so.
But here's a quick reply on this "point".
The point here to point out... is that models are dying too.. why don't one of you google it.... or wait I'll do it for you.. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,230183,00.html
That's what the fashion industry is doing and what advertising is doing.
Well, isn't that a load of unrealated "crap", for lack of a better word.
Anyway, clearly you're not a person to be reasoned with through logic and hard facts.
Goodnight!

sorry sangre, i really think that most english speakers will not be able to fully comprehend your post up there what with spelling and grammer mistakes.. you don't mind if I correct it for you do you? Could you be so humble??

You do realise your post relates in absolutely no way to what you quoted from Ned. He wasn't talking about the merits of brands rather the reality of how they operate. His (!!) knowing (??) about sweatshops has absolutely no (!!) bearing on what he said (??) and undoubtedly (!!) wouldn't affect what he said in the slightest.

That's the best I can do with what you have actually said. Perhaps English isn't your first language??

And when you say " he wasn't talking about the merits of brands rather the reality of how they operate"... what reality do they operate.. or could you be a bit more vague there?


eh now I am infact "ROFL".

You do know everybody has heard of sweatshops, child labour and bulimia/anorexia in the fashion industry. Your points don't actually change anything.

Ned was pointing out why companies present their brands in such a way, not whether it was morally sound or ethical. Image sells, squalor of the industry regardless. Your breaking controversies aren't new, aren't insightful and they aren't going to change the opinion of the masses.

Edit - I see your arguments has had to resort to correcting the grammar and spelling of my posts. Bravo, a true debating great.

how's about you learn how to spell grammar, before you go attacking other posts.


Dont make me post a card..

Apart from you, you sexy biatch..

Tar.Aldarion

You are only as sexy as the last picture you posted in Know Your Nerds and the last word you spelled.

Anti

Is this some maths formula test ?

So my last word ( biatch ) + ( my picture in nyn ) = ?

I think I'll stay out of the fashion & animal/human cruelty section from now on.

Goodnight and Good luck!

Come on now, there can't be that many killer kids around to cause much concern. I will watch out for them though, as we've seen from the slave children, they may have small hands but they're quick and precise when trained properly.
