I also dont think they are making the $.40/hr you claimed earlier.
I responded to your $.40/hr claim and offered up no guess as to what the pay range is. You then chose to assign $15-25thr to my argument.
Seriously, do you understand the basics of a discussion? Dont create an argument, assign it to someone, then defeat the argument and claim the other person is wrong. Thats a logical fallacy.
Regarding Chinese cf factory workers earning $.40/hour: Given that we're all carrying computers with internet access around in our pockets, I'm always amazed that some people just make things up rather than taking, oh, two minutes to check the actual facts. I mean, blimey, you don't even have to ride your bike on down to the library these days.
You are describing the
Straw Man fallacy, I believe. Very common.
Honestly, this whole thread is a hoot.
