do you think American Eagle has 7 year olds working in sweatshops to make my stylish clothes?

stylish? from American Eagle? kidding. Im almost certain that they do. Just try not to feel guilty when you wear that shirt by thinking of those poor children who should be attending school and getting an education, but instead have to earn a living by sewing that stupid looking eagle onto your baby blue and brown polo shirt. Yeah, just try not to.

I've always heard of American clothes actually being made by child labor in the Third World, so it's possible that your shirt was made by 7-year-olds in Afghanistan. I don't understand how can American corporations can let children work on such inhumane labor for low wages in sweatshops, and I know child labor is wrong.

All of theses countries have been accused of using child labour in their factories. India was a good place to find children making Gap clothing Afganistan / Burma / Cambodia / China / East Timor / Fiji / Indonesia ... use of forced labour and use of exploitative child labour, there are more.
And that isn't good.

Who knows? I had an old lady tell me that when she was 5 she was working in the cotton fields in North Corolina or something. Maybe they sent the materials to the factory in Afghanistan?

Probably. That is so cruel, dragging kids to work in those sweatshops. Yet another crappy thing aboot the U.S., us turning a blind eye to those poor kids and condoning that by selling it in stores..........

Highly possible. That is why humans have a neck. So you can turn a blind eye to injustice. Enjoy the shirt.

No.
They only hire 8 year olds.
The 7 year olds aren't smart enough; they keep trying to eat the fabric..

Hey anything to make a profit .... isn't that the American way
find the lowest wage cost & exploit it .... then deny it ever happened.

not necessarily 7 year olds.. i'd say their probably at least 10. 7 year olds can't sew that well.
just kidding that was horrible. i would hope they don't.
