> I'm glad they have a job. Their families probably need it very much. I hope that their hard work allows the next generation of Congolese to live in greater prosperity.

It's hard to figure whether this comment is sarcastic or just ignorant of the whole situation with child exploitation in Africa.



It is neither sarcastic nor ignorant. Open your mind to the possibility of differing viewpoints.


There is no mind to open to the view point of those who lie to themselves in order to feel good about the misery of others. Yes, your comment is neither sarcastic or ignorant, it's pure cynicism, in the "great" tradition of the slavers.


Oh I'm a slaver. That's real mature. Never mind then.


Listen to yourself and your "feel good" fallacies. Do you really think these kids can quit? that they are not beaten if they try to escape or worse killed?
