Me thinks you have him pegged correctly Ultra>> I dont think he has worked in his childhood except for maybe take out the garbage when was reminded. Real child labour I am afraid is not a laughing matter.

Well, since you've already have me "pegged," I won't correct you. I do find it interesting that you have any knowledge of my childhood.

My feelings on child labor are that children in poor countries have no other means of support. You're right, it's no laughing matter. But, banning child labor, making them starve, is no noble ambition. You want to take away their only means of survival, then you should be willing to provide an alternative. Otherwise, don't whine about child labor.
 
Speaking of child labor, I was raised on a dairy farm. Didn't hurt me any. Sides, I thought it was Kathy Lee and Martha Stewart had the child labor problems. Does Walmart have kids coming in at night to stock the shelves?

The local walmart here has old people to stock their shelfs. If their not old then their black no offense but I almost never see a white guy in their working or children or even a teenager?
 
I use a multi-viscosity motor oil that is on sale at the time. It allows you to change with the season and you can use it for your car when it is oil change time.
 
If you're only going through a couple of gallons a year, the difference in bar and chain wear, if any, will be negligible. I would suspect the only advantage you would see by using winter bar oil would be quicker/easier pouring qualities when you fill your oil tank. The same thing can be accomplished by putting the oil in a heated area the night before you're going to cut wood.

Good point. I was thinking the same thing after my original posts. I just put a new ES bar on my saw and maybe I'm just a little paranoid that it wasn't getting enough oil flow in the cold weather. My oil is in an unheated shed right now and when the temp is down around 20 or so, it pours like molasses.

on the topic of child labor ,,, for most of the time they dont get payed for what they do, so my question is !?!? is it really child labor :p

ohh forgot i use them bar oil whole year around even if its -20 c outside or more ,,,


Lets clarify child labour. It is generally work performed under poor employment standards in off shore lands to supply a cheap labour force for our consumer market. It does not include the wok that you performed at home as a child. I think we all did that. Many giant corporate North American companies utilize areas of the world for the sake of larger profits. Companies take American jobs off shore and bring the product back here for maximum profits. The American public has yet to realize the full impact of their actions by supporting them. They do this under the guise of cheaper profits. Damage done is the child should be enjoying his childhood and his parent should be working.(Childrens hands are more dextrous so they can get more work out of them) Second is american jobs are lost. Third is the complete upheaval of the american economy in retail. Fourth is more Americans withless money. Fifth is you need people to have moneyso that they can afford to buy the product you produce. Hence the push to buy North American. Walmart has not only been charged with child labour of shore but has also been caught with utilyzing child labour in a southern american store. Hope this sheds some light and brings the right wingers from hiding. Will gladly put them in my Walmart information email list. Thanks.

I use around a pallet maybe two of oil. And oilers in saws don't really like thick oil. I have taken out alot of crank gears with thick oil.

Space please read post 28 first.

Space my first sentence in post 9 was in humour to Ultras humorous post. What I wrote in my second sentence was serious as I believed that your vision of child labour and your life has not had as much exposure to the issue as myself.

If we want to continue this lets start a new thread as I feel we should not hijack this one.

When you keep it in a heated area, then take it to the truck, I am sure in 45 miles of travel it isn't goin to cool off.
 
child labor or adult labor,hes talkin chinese labor ,not walmart stockers. i think.
we in this country are just beginning to reap the results of buying walmart ,china goods.the irony is we did it to ourselves.change is constant. the change coming in this country[u.s.] will affect life, more dramatically than the depression,i believe.the difference is we are no longer an country of untapped
power in the area of consumer goods production. that position is now held by china.hope im wrong . but like i say change is constant. jmo
by the way poulan oil works fine for me.

Chinese labour is just coming into the question. I was talking other third world labour pools. We can only strive for an equal pay, standard of living, health and safety protection, and a vigorous economy of their own as consumers. With the correct legislation (lol) we can then have access to their economy and their consumers and they to ours. Now thats a level playing field. Unfotunately you wont see that as the legislators and their friends would lose the big profits. So please enjoy your race to the bottom.
