how horrible is this? it makes you wonder how many people die for other people's entertainment or vanity. this is pretty shocking. it makes me wonder if qanyone was injured or killed so i can have my computer, cell phone, playstation 2, xbox 360....what do you think about it?

Answer 1

Muahahahaha! And I love it oh so much!

I don't think Sony should be held accountable for another countries going-ons. Just like America to stick their nose into another countries business and try to tell them how to operate, (cause that's how we do it), and start a war. i.e. Iraq. Why should Sony be pursecuted for another countries beliefs? i.e. Child labor just because that's not what WE believe in. America either needs to go ahead and take over the world or stay the h**l out of everyones business! And people say we're not a dictatorship...HA! Well we sure do a good job of dictating all the other countries when we see something we don't like!

Answer 2

Yup, that's the new blood diamond.

Answer 3

well it sounds to me that yahoo is bias towards Sony's consoles. how many other companies use the same metal for their products? im sick of reading the gaming section of yahoo with them always downing the PS3....wait....isnt Microsoft suppose to buy yahoo?(xbox)
