Your points aren't really worth addressing, because it's clear there's no room for common ground or even intellectual honesty at this point.

You didn't answer my question. She pays taxes, right? Does this not mean, that in some small way, she in complicit in supporting the regimes of country's that are personally invested in invading poor countries for their oil? I think, being in a country that isn't being violently mined for oil might have something to do with the fact that she can make jewelry, but what do I know.

Well you're completely wrong and know jack, and apparently can't even read like the other person that commented to me. :D I said she uses rocks and things she finds/makes. She doesn't use things you'd immediately assume is in most common jewelry...

And if taxes have fuck all to do with anything, why the hell do I have to answer that? Do you pay taxes?

Again-- bigger picture, most of these things aren't even businesses, first off--

[u]Business[/u]
1. a person's regular occupation, profession, or trade.

Yes, they are. A singer is a professional, it makes money. THEY DID BUILD THAT. And it doesn't exploit afghan children...

Does that mean EVERY business owner is LITERALLY hurting someone who works for them? No.

Literally show me one person who created wealth, from a business, without exploiting the excess value of the labor of others.

Contradiction levels off the charts.
