now they need to do a study about dresses
calenlass:
What Nikes are these? I am not familiar with these shoes.
Liz:
Are these considered ugly then?
Lines:
No, those are cute.
Ugly:
Slightly weird:
Way too much color:
I have nothing against brightly colored shoes, but when it looks like your box of crayons threw up on your feet, you have a problem. (I think Sam may have a pair of shoes like this, but he is an exception, because Sam is a classy dude.)
Liz:
See, I like the colors on the last one. It's just the shape and style of the shoe that's ugly to me.
Also I see that you have sig-quoted me and that makes me ridiculously happy! This is the first time it's happened.

While I don't agree with sweatshop labor, it's a hell of a lot better than those people not ever having any money at all.
Oohhhh, hippie paradox.

While I'm not going to get into the issue here, I would just like to point out that this is a very complex issue, one that is fascinating to look into (not to mention, essential if you do wish to go around talking about it.) And from the information that I know so far, it is far better for me to not support sweatshops with my few dollars.
To whoever said I was supporting them by simply wearing them- that's a completely different issue. I own shoes, shirts, and pants that are originally from places that I'd never give money too. But they fit and they were at my local thrift store, and so I wear them. If other people look at these clothes and decide they wish to buy them as a result, I simply hope they are informed. My intention is not to change other people, but to make conscious decisions myself. I can't escape from wearing anything associated with a brand of some sort that I do not make myself, so it is inevitable. I hope that makes sense.
Also, I LOVE brightly colored shoes. I had a crush on a guy because he had bright green shoes once.
