    Ballistic, I have Tim to tell me all about the horrors of life in Indian. His adopted son is Indian. I CAN see the bigger picture. But it still hurts.

    But I love you, B, so I will shut up now. I've made a big enough ass of myself.

    We need our jobs HERE. Unemployment and the economy here are already terrible, shippign a bunch of jobs over is going to hurt the US. I think there should be limitations, let alone with BANKS!! That isn't something *I* want sent to another country. I won't EVER do business with HSBC, not now not ever as a result of this.

    ASIA is the OCCIDENTAL worse ENNEMY in ECONOMY (POPULATION/CAPACITY/CHEAP) ? And the only thing that we would be able to be done against it is WAR !!! ? THEY are VERY POWERFULL, NUMEROUS, STRATEGICAL and NOT ORGANISED!!! ? we tried already ? Remember ? (it is very important in the reasoning). And nobody and certainly NOT the ASIANS after Hiroshima and Nagasaki will stand any kind of same treatment. You can?t joke anymore with ASIANS (I mean all of them NO)? They have all the means needed and they will have all the support needed, SO WHY should they CARE? And anyway only losts will come out of that.

    That is what we are running to that is just to give you a clue about the future ? To let you know that : We can?t trust the politicians (they don?t care about us they will be SAFE the D DAY even if it?s to live 50 years in a bunker). But where will we be and our KIDS? In if ASIA take over they will have enough money to no suffer about the situation ?

    We have an very easy economical way to take over the problem here ... and we should try it. Those who are interested to know just PM me !!! and the most interesting part of it is that it is a business !!! YES ... but it can't be done by only one person all alone ...

    By paying lower wages, will the services be any cheaper for the consumer? I doubt it. Its just another money grab to increase big business profit margins. Instead of making only 5 billion dollars a year, they can increase that to 6 billion dollars. Like someone else said "we cannot all be brain surgeons or rock stars". The world economy cannot support the "American Dream" of everyone owning an SUV, two car garage and color TV sets. Like another poster said, "There is a price to pay for every single convenice we enjoy, for everything we enjoy, someone else somewhere is paying the price". Its a separation of the upper and lower classes. I feel sorry for any young ones just starting out in the job market.

    Now repeat after me, "Would you like fries with that sir".

    I feel sorry for my brother-in-law. He just lost his 20+ year job as a software engineer at a major telecom. He has a job with the company his former company is now outsourcing to, but he doesn't seem confident about his long term future.

    I tried to joke with him about the situation, I said "maybe you could go teach high school math" or something. It wasn't the best thing to say.

    What do they expect a person that is 40 or 50 to just start their careers over? These greedy corperation don't give a crap. All they are care about is their profit margins.
