"Kids in Congo were being sent down mines to die so that kids in Europe and America could kill imaginary aliens in their living rooms," said Ex-British Parliament Member Oona King.
So if this is true what can be done about it? I really hate it when helpless people gets taken advantage of.
If you don't want to reap the goods of someone somewhere being exploited, take up the Amish lifestyle.

This does sound kinda suspect. I can't imagine what is so unique about Sony's PS2 (electronically speaking) that it should be singled out any more than (potentially) thousands of other devices with similar electronic circuits.

Seriously, I see a big trend in your posts. You are Mr. Negative. Anything anyone says you have a smart ass country fuckin hillbilly remark. What, you run out of goats to fuck down in that shithole you call a state? Or is your sister not giving you any these days? Stop hating and if you got nothing constructive to say STFU.
Anyways, tantalum powder is commonly used in tantalum capacitors which are commonly used in virtually every portable electronic device in existence. If you want to do something about not exploiting it's source (I didn't bother verifying that story btw) stop using everything electronic. Including your car, your cell phone, etc.
Blaming it on a Playstation is just fucking retarded.

LOL that's not being mad, just annoyed. Thought it would be funny too, well, funny for me
Anyways, I never heard about tantalum until that article so I've been reading on it and yes it is used in many electronics. Well, at least the article helped bring it to light but it was wrong to single Playstation out.

Negative, WTF are you smokin' over there in DC. It definitely ain't weed. You asked what could be done that you hate when people are exploited. Unless you're living off the land, making everything you consume, you are benefiting from someone, somewhere being exploited by western standards.
How's this for noticing trends, you've got a big stick up your ass and fly off the hook without any provocation anytime you see something that doesn't jive with your mood. Get over yourself flyboy.

+1... if you're wearing any name brand clothing right now, you're proliferating the exploitation of someone, somewhere...
anyway... it's not playstations fault (well it is indriectly) but you CANNOT blame them.
blame the country that has the problem.
blame a country? how do you do that? do you mean the country's government? if so, and you're talking about a 3rd world government, you might as well try to squeeze blood from a turnip. the blame falls on consumerism and the fact that ppl care only about the price of the good, not the means of production. it's all of our faults, not the government and not the companies that manufacture the things. if a company tried to do the right thing, their expenses would rise, the cost of the product would rise, and we the consumers wouldn't buy it. so then the company becomes insolvent and eventually bankrupts.
i could go on and on about this, but you get the idea.
Playstation incites a real war in Africa!
