Yeah, that totally justifies buying sub-par shoes from a company that you KNOW uses Child Labor. Totally.

It doesn't justify it. It sucks. We all know child labor is bad. What do you expect me to do about it?

I should also stop drinking coffee, eating chocolate, using anything made of plastic, driving a car, wearing clothes, and living amongst other humans. I am responsible for the world being awful by living in it.

The shoes are made by children, I can't stop that. I don't buy converse. I don't care if you do though.

Also, I just bought a new guitar. That means that I am FOR the killing of trees and in essence the destruction of the planet earth and all of it's living creatures. Of course.

Of course you can't stop using all those things, but you can wherever possible. EG, buy fairtrade coffee and drink less of it (it costs a lil bit more than the average stuff bought at your local supermarket).

EDIT: I just thought that my avatar may be going directly against what I'm saying about cons. But in my photos I go for lines. As my mate Robbie and I kept on repeating when we went out phography-ing together in a zombie-"braaaaiiins" type voice, "I like Liines!".

Chucks look pretty cool, but they're crap. If you're ok with wearing crap shoes, go for it. I mean crap as in the construction and material are ... crap. ha.

agreed.

They fall apart quickly!!!

But they are very comfortable.

My mom cleaned the dirt off the ones I've had for two years. They look strange now.

They're all I wore for like, three years. Now, I despise the sight of them.

Pfft, who even cares? I just buy w/e and don't worry about the brand. The last time I ever bought shoes for their brand was 2 years ago when I bought some Tommy Hilfigers which are now wrapped in duct tape.
