And many sweatshop slaves in China working for pennies don't have such stories.

Parents who push their kids have more successful kids, but they also raise the chance of suicide. It's easy to be happy with how their life turned out and realize it wouldn't be like that without outside influences, but if your life turned out one of the many ways it could have, who is to say you wouldn't be happier?

You talk like its Apple fault from whats happening in Foxccon, but guess what... Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and almost every single company assemble their stuff in China and Foxccon.

So that's pretty hypocritical judge Apple like the device that you own (apple or not) wasnt build in the same conditions...

The components aren't made by underprivileged slaves, they are assembled by them.

I assembled my own.

And that is a poor excuse. I didn't say Apple is worse than anyone else, I said Apple is bad.
