Not enough, I fear.
You would have known about slavery, child abuse, no human rights, no rights for workers, number of deads at work, droit de seigneur (?)... not saying that it doesn't happen these days, but in a lower number and it's punishable (in developed countries, at least)

At least it's illegal

That's nice to know from your ivory tower
as you look upon your wordly possessions knocked up by the poor and exploited of the third world.

The same third world
I give money too to help them improve and get better. Things were done wrong in the past, but we're trying to sort it out. At least most of us, I don't know about you. And I don't have an ivory tower, but I'll be glad to visit yours, never seen one.

I thought so
that explains your talking. I imagine you're not getting as much as you used to, so the world is going really bad, isn't it?

No it's looking up if anything, despite these harsh economic times

Maybe
if you gave part of your earnings to an eco or third world charity you would be happier and stop being so bitter with everybody.

Then
smile: you, as a lot of other people, are doing something to help things getting better, proving that you care for people you don't even know, which means that us, in general, are better than we used to be, looking after fellow humans, despite not knowing them at all or getting any profit from it.

For every slave there was a tribal leader selling.
It's not Nike that uses child labour, it's the scummy slum-lords from the children's native countries that are not passing on standard of living
