If you were an 11 year old Chinese girl would you rather be on the olympic team or work in a Walmart factory?

Question

Keep in mind that most 11 year old Chinese girls work about 90 hours per week in Walmart's factories. Isn't it a good thing that the Chinese government is letting the 11 year olds onto the Olympic team?

Answer 1

Why don't broke people just rob banks for money is that alright too?

Right is Right and Wrong is Wrong

Answer 2

LOL! What's funny is you think they have a choice and that that choice is made at 11. Try 3 and they have no choice!

Answer 3

But they won't see their 16th Birthday, The Chinese Gov't won't take that risk to allow these girls to age and expose the truth.

Answer 4

LOL Been reading my answers?

What has yet to be mentioned is that if those little girls didn't win the gold medal then the Chinese government guaranteed them lifetime employment in a Walmart factory

Answer 5

I knew they were younger than 16! Yes it's a very good thing! I see way to many Wal-Mart commercials. It's really annoying. I'd rather be on the Olympic team.

Answer 6

But the Chinese Goverment says they are not 11 and there is absolutely no reason not to believe them.

I mean, the morning mist that descends upon the town (cough, cough), the sites to be seen (stay away from Tiannemen Square) and the friendly people who descend upon me (and beat me with truncheons).

Why would the Chinese lie?

Answer 7

Wal-mart, they have awesome slushies!!!  Olympics are fixed, just look at the opening ceremony (fake).  Wal-Mart is real

Answer 8

I'm not sure where you get your information, but you're mistaken. I live in China. While I'd agree that Chinese teenagers may work 90 hours per week, it's usually on schoolwork, not in factories. When the children do work, it's usually in their families restaurants or workshops.

Also, the three gymnasts in question are thought to be 14, not 11.

Answer 9

its all about internal politics. Chinese girl gymnast team won the gold medal of course some country is going to try to get them disqualify. Thats why I dont really pay attention to it that much. It seems like the richiest countries have more medal counts. Go figure.  

Answer 10

Let's see the hours and the pay are the same. And either way I'll end up at the sweatshop so I might as well go there and maybe by the time I'm 14 I can be manager.

Answer 11

"letting"  In most cases more like forcing. Neither one seems to be a very good option.
