Nepcha,

I am not lamenting nor appreciating.

When you hear about big American companies like GAP hiring people in underdeveloped countries and paying them less money, you know it's not a big deal because at least the people working are making some money. They have some option as opposed to no option. Same thing with child labor in Nepal. Lot of their families depend on the meager money made by these kids because they have no other options. Laborers under 14 are very bad and we wish no such children have to work, but the reality of the situation is that they would have no other options if not for these jobs. So do we punish these companies for abusing these kids or do we support these companies for giving these poor kids an opportunity to make a few bucks?
