Does Ireland have as much to offer in forms of financing experimental innovation as the US?
I don't see what you're hinting at here. I guess you wouldn't like to abandon this leading position in science and technology in favour of embracing pseudo-science. Another reason why evolution should be taught.

It was a broad statement regarding all innovation & inventions and financing.
Why Evolution Should Be Taught
To promote the progress of science (US Constitution, section 8).

Of course not. Your population is around 80 times ours.
My comments were not based on any American myth, but the seeing of French, Czech, British, and German people coming over here to seek that financial gain of the fruits of their labors within the science and technology fields.
Yes, the US seems willing to pay top dollar for foreign scientists. It's almost as if there were a shortage of Americans with suitable qualifications.
Still, you do lead the world in creation research.
"yes, the US seems willing to pay top dollar for foreign scientists. It's almost as if there were a shortage of Americans with suitable qualifications".
We have scientist here, if you don't believe me then we'll form a posse and hang you as a witch.
We are one damn backward country right now funkyd.. we voted in Bush, twice! Don't that tell you all you need to know?
Dawg,
Dude, we have scientist and people developing technology (esp in the medical field) here who are awesome and homegrown!
We also welcome talent from around the world, because it makes us better and stronger as a nation.
One size doesn't fit all, a person can believe in evolution or they can reject it....it is all good.
yknot... man, look at this country right now, we don't have a leg to stand on if we're going to tout our brilliance. Bush has been elected twice, which not only says what an idiot the Democrats ran against him, but how damn stupid the average American is right now for voting for this moron... twice
And as for scientist, I live in Athens, one friend is from India, the other is from Pakistan, they are here not as students, but as research scientists. We are in a world of hurt here in the states man, look at our education system. You'll have a hard time convincing me that the US is up to the rest of the developed world's standards as far as education goes.

Ireland has the population of a small state. Per capita we do our part with innovation. But we're only a small part of Europe (again, a small state). There are also loads of American businesses that set-up over this way to take advantage of our highly educated work force and attractive corporate taxation. This has been hurting us lately since the dollar is in the crapper and the american companies just cant afford it. I moved over here myself in the 90s because I couln't find good programmers to work for me in Baltimore. I set-up shop over here because the University of Limerick had really state of the art computer education at the time. I could have brought them to the USA, but this way was a lot nicer for me.
What were we talking about again?
On the political front..... yea I agree that things are less then desirable, but those things ebb and tide.... election around the corner. I agree that the two major politically parties have seem to lost touch with the American public, and are more into themselves as an organization. Hype over substance. I live around Austin, and things are great! UT has a waiting list of both American & foreign students! Are your research friends benefiting their respective countries, or are they contributing to ours? Do they plan on going back to their mother lands or staying here in the US? Also remember, many times a foreigner will do the same work as an American but for much less $$$$. I agree that there are problems with the public school system but it is not solely because of the subject of evolution.
I agree ynot. My friends love the US and plan on staying.
