For a guy who hasn't done an ounce of manual labor in his 26 years, you really aren't in a position to advocate heavy lifting for 8 year olds.
This poor kid lifts more weight in telephone cables than you do in all your gay videos combined and he's got bigger arms.
My time in the military was pretty labour intensive actually. Not to mention that in a week in the field you would be lucky to get a total of 20 hours sleep.
As I said, slave labour is bilaterally voluntary. That means that,
believe it or not, those working in sweatshops prefer it over the alternatives available.
You can conjure up images of sweatshops all they want, but the fact remains that foreign employers are in general model employers, providing far better working conditions than domestic employers. Besides, who is anyone to decide whether a poor person in China will benefit from a job, except that person from China?
Do you propose making sweatshops illegal? Speak on this.
PS - I will never, ever, EVER work another job in my life. I DO NOT take orders, I DO NOT call you "SIR" if I don't choose to do it, and I DO NOT make somebody else rich. I haven't worked since my release from the military and I will never do so again. This is because I do indeed hate manual labour, almost as much as I hate working for somebody else. I do what I want, when I want.
