@jayjay444 I would recommend you look up a little more on history. Women played a major role in the French Revolution and you would not want to mess with a lot of them. They had their fair share of blood on their hands.

Wow a lot of these comments are just awful.. If you want to keep in touch with people you haven't talked to in a long time, facebook is great. It's also great for sharing things with friends, articles you think they'll find interesting, music, and whatever else. It's a tool, it's not inherently evil, so while you may have friends who waste several hours a day on it, post photos of themselves doing stupid things, or become friends with people they don't know, it's their own fault. Stupid people do stupid things. Believe me, as you grow up, you'll learn more and more how stupid people are and just how they can screw themselves over. Facebook just happens to be a commonly misused site.

@locutus442 Actually it doesn't come even close to that category. Slave labor is still utilized in parts of Africa and these materials are usually retrieved with that labor. Basically this news appeals to people who actually care about others. If you don't care about it, don't read it. It's simple as that.

This is nothing new. Nintendo also is one of the least environmentally responsible game companies too. We can just hope that they put a little more work into avoiding these materials and that this doesn't raise the prices too much.
