Group boycotts 3DS because it fuels human right abuses.

Even if Nintendo did not guarantee that all the materials they use are not "conflict materials" that does not mean that they are using those materials.But it's extremely like they that they do simply because of the number of mines the guerrillas control in the Congo.

QUOTE(steveo1978 @ Feb 28 2011, 08:30 PM) I do not blame Nintendo if they told the Enough Project if they did not want spend the extra cash to investigate each company that they bought a product from to make sure it was made with material that was slavery free. Companies can not make every single person on the planet happy.

So fuck'em. They're only slaves right?

Y'know, sometimes I can't tell if you're serious with Ichigo staring at me in your signature...

Anyway, I find this quite amusing. On the surface it seems like a problem but delving into it you find that it's not as much of a "problem as others make it out to be

Hello dear hippies.

You are acting as if you absolutely ignored the most important fact about this planned fail-nifestation. I will post it in bold, in case someone misses it again.

They have no proof that Nintendo uses materials produced or mined in Congo and/or other war-affected/slavery-friendly areas. Their only excuse is that since there is no proof that they are not using said materials, they just as well may be using them.

*Clears throat* What's important, they express this themselves. Clearly. On their home page. Can't miss it. I will now create some similar sentences. Warning, some of them may be offensive.

You have been molested by your parents. If you do not remember being molested by parents, you might have just as well repressed those memories. Ask them now. Especially if they have guests over.

Your brain is non-existant. The fact that you've seen pictures of a human brain does not necessarily mean that you also posses one. The only way to be sure that you do have a brain is cracking your skull open. Do it now.

You like men(women if you're female). Alot. You like to have gay S&M sex with them. The fact that you've never had it before might mean that you could just as well enjoy having your butt filled with razorblades. Try it now.

Please don't do the above mentioned things. Ever. I'm just proving a point here.

Once again. Screw you, hippies.

It seems the moderators should delete this post, since it is flaming the main reason for this topic. First of all, I am not a hippy(I support the American soldiers, thank you very much), and it seems you have no definition of an actual hippy, look it up please before posting this irrelevant post.

This was an interesting comment

This is affiliated with enough, which is a project of the center for American Progress, Van Jones is one of the more recognizable figures at the center for American Progress. Now Van Jones was part of STORM and wrote the book reclaiming revolution, a communist handbook on how to topple governments. He was quoted as saying "I'll sacri...fice the radical pose for the radical end". So lets be truthful about what you're selling here. This boycott is really part of a lager network of communist and socialist organizations who's primary goal is fomenting political unrest with the ultimate goal of communist/collectivist revolution. I encourage anyone who reads this to do your own research and connect the dots. This has nothing to do with a boycott or Nintendo but rather creating and organizing hundreds of organizations to achieve a radical political end
