It's funny Dye got ripped off at IAO

[Animal Mother]

Here is a company that is immoral to start with. They have 90% of their product made in China. So rather than giving Americans jobs because we employ moral work ethics and taking a hit to profits they would rather have 8 year old children slave away 6 and half days a week for 12 hours in China so they can pocket the profit.

Are they the ONLY company that does this? No, not at all. I buy products made in China as well. But when something bad happens to a money grubbing company like Dye... I gotta sit back and laugh.

So no I am not advocating a boycott of Dye products or for anyone else to break the law and steal... all I am saying is it's ok to laugh when something bad happens to an immoral company like Dye. So before you bleeding heart hippies jump all over me with your parented "Stealing is bad" chant, think of the company you are defending. And feel good that you support a company that has a product made in the USA. (AGD)

Here comes the heater...

So what did you steal?

If you REALLY believed in what you said, you would throw away what you got.

LOL.... I wish I was at IAO.

phatpat47, while all the Dye people were partying it up all through the night, a bunch of people looted the Dye trailer and made away with $10,000 worth of sweat shop gear :)

Dave Youngblood... the Kathie Lee Gifford of paintball, hehehe

Dye had about 10,000 dollars worth of products stolen from their trade stand.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy!!
I reffed Dave Youngblood when he played for Constant Pursuit in CA, they were at t he MAsters in Nashville in the early 90's. It was raining a bit and it was before double pane goggles, so every one was fogging. He lifts his goggles off, looks around and sees me standing there staring at him with my mouth hanging open trying to say "You're eliminated". He says to me "But I'm Dave Youngblood, you can't eliminate me for that. I said Congratulations, I'm Tony, you're still outta here!"

After the game the captain, I can't remember his name, comes up and asks me why I eliminated DY. I told him, "Cause the knucklehead took his goggles off while playing". He just asked him if he did it, and DY admitted it. Fred Shultz (remembered his name) just looked at him and turned and walked away.

I had to laugh it was so ridiculus.

Sorry to get the thread off track.

I played with Dave Youngblood here in CA too. Long ago when he wore a suit and used his chromed out pump gun. It was funny because EVERYONE was gunning for him. He got me and I was honored to be shot by such a great player. He just has no morals when it comes to business.. and sad to say he is NOT the only one.

All I am saying is my first reaction was to burst out in laughter when I heard Dye got jacked.. because it bothers me so much of their stuff is made in China. I have Dye gear.. alot of my things are made in China. But I think we should be informed about who we support as consumers. If I see two towels and one is made in the USA and one is made in China and the USA towel is 25 cents more.. I'm gonna buy the USA one. But sometimes it is not so easy to make that choice when buying things.. thats ok, just.. have a conscience about it. You're not just spending money, you're giving money to people that employ children in sweat shops.

And it does work. Nike was one of THE WORST companies about having their product made in sweat shops. With pressure from consumers and the media.. they have changed SOME of their ways.. so any change is a good thing.

I'm not telling anyone how to spend their money, you have that freedom. It's great we live in a country where we can make theses kinds of choices. Some people don't have that luxury.

Sweatshops and cheap labor is awesome. Lots of good can come from it.

You amuse me. You have a problem with DYE, yet you purchase their goods. ROTFLMAO

BTW, every company is money grubbing. Even Tom Kaye likes to make money.

[deathstalker]

I try my hardest not to laugh at the misfortune of others, because there, but for the grace of God, go I.

[cphilip]

I don't think its funny at all. And every major event I go to there is some kind of theft. I getting sick of it. I am afraid there are just too many low lifes hanging around paintball. Its time we cleaned em all out. And making fun of it or chearing it is just as bad. Sober up Animal and think about what you are saying. Its totaly wrong.

Thats my opinion.

Does Tom Kaye do it on the backs of children? Go on and answer that one.

You amuse me for your lack of comprehension. Try reading my posts again.. if you can.

I am not speaking about Manila, I am speaking about China, neighbor to Japan, ever hear of it? They are a communist country who's chief export is child slave labor. Without the money we give them in exchange for their labor their economy would fall and take their government with it. It would leave room for something other than communism. It is the golden rule.. he who has the gold makes the rule.

Neighboring Japan has an ethical work force and has one of the strongest economies. This is the same country we nuked back to the stone age.. so don't tell me how you need child slave labor to pull your country out of the ground.

Turn it into international politics and its closed....
