Ours is ok, but hardly fair. Those with money get off or wrist slapped, the rest to the Corp run jail system that gets paid per inmate.
Wonder how those Corps push laws...

Not gold farming, but... You'll get the idea.
Anyways, the constant ad spamming by the gold farmers in e.g. LotRO is annoying, I give you that. Fortunately, Turbine people are usually quickly banning those people. Hard times in China...

Did I interrupt your tea time with Mr. Beck? Sorry about that. Go and watch your FoxNews, Sir.

Verno, thanks for your answer. Yes, that's one of the most punishing things: being alone in a cell with your guilt and nothing to distract you from thinking about it.
What I was aiming at was that idea that the evil Chinese empire would only imprison political and/or religious leaders. There's the triads, there are the usual killers, child molesters, rapists, arsonists, you name it. Crime is a worldwide problem. Of course, China has a very different legal system, and a lot of it is based on fear of anything that could endanger the power of the political leaders. People simply "disappear" without their next ones knowing what happened to them. People get executed (well, the death sentence is wide spread in the world), and some of them get murdered for their political ideas or religions. That's all true. Nevertheless, the vast majority of Chinese prisoners is not doing time for following the wrong flags or for reading the bill of rights. Plus: you can find innocent people behind bars not only in China, but in every country. In the US e.g., farmers could go to jail for not using genetically engineered germ buds from a wellknown US monopolist. Of course, these farmers wouldn't be allowed internet access in prison to do some gold farming.

Sorry, you're right. They're all freedom fighters. No other crimes are committed in China. Thanks to your intelligent input, I got it.
Not sure your snarky comment really deserved more thought than he gave it already. While I'm not educated on Chinese law I look at as if it was appropriate punishment then it would have been doled during sentencing. Is it better than swinging a mine pick or picking up garbage? I guess that depends on your perspective but I don't view either situation as ok. As a friend of mine who went to jail over drug crap told me after he got his life cleaned up "there is no greater punishment than pure boredom of prison". |

If you asked an average American if they would be willing to pay 50.00 more for a new TV that would guarantee the worker food, medical, better pay, etc.
And what would these 3rd world workers be doing if they weren't making goods for the international market (America isn't the only one "subsidizing" Chinese industry)? Begging in the streets? Dead in a gutter? Bludgeoned, raped, and mangled in an alley? You're implying that if they didn't have these jobs, they would somehow be better off. Don't blame America for another country's human rights inadequacies. |

Yes, it's slave labor.
However, given the choice between manual labor or playing WoW all day long, how many people would choose the former?
(I might, but I really don't like WoW and could use the exercise)
