MA Governor Wants More New Tech
turnitover writes "Cryptically stating that Asia wants the U.S. to become 'the France of the 21st century,' Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney made a public call for more innovation in technology, reports eWEEK.com. He urged more investment and development and, yes, a move to OpenDocument, as reported previously on Slashdot." From the article: "Underlining the challenge, Romney said leaders of one technology firm in Massachusetts anticipated that 90 percent of its skilled labor would be in Asia in 10 years. He also pointed to statistics that show the United States graduating only 4,400 mathematics and science PhDs each year compared with 24,900 math and science PhDs for greater Asia."
"Cryptically stating that Asia wants the U.S. to become 'the France of the 21st century,'
It's not cryptic. He's saying Asia wants to reduce the U.S. to being irrelevant cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
Insert witty sig here.
Ahh...there we go...I bet the Islamic fundamentalists were feeling left out by this point. Nice to see Romney managed to squirrel in a jab at the boogyman of international terrorism
Yes, it's just a bogeyman drawn up by Karl Rove and friends. A little imaginary thing that happens to shoot fleeing school children in the back, blow up churches and synagogues and mosques, fly planes into buildings, saw off school girls' heads, chop people up with machetes, drive and plant and strap on explosives, shoot and stab people, kill Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, atheists, whites, blacks, asians, hispanics, in America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Israel, Arab countries, South America, etc., etc., etc.
Grow a goddamned brain already.
Fuck it
France does not have obcessive desire to act as America's nemesis!
Get with it: France was one of the few countries to stand up for themselves in the run-up to the 2nd Iraq vs US war. Nothing obcessive about that.
I know this is an American forum (mostly) but surely it cannot have escaped your notice that not everybody likes the americans? And with good reason too.
They could have said that they wanted to become the USA of the 21st century... Now *that* would have been scary!
No no no it isnt Its someone who is ordered by a pack of cowards to drop bombs from 30,000 feet on "fleeing school children, hurches and synagogues and mosques, and buildings" Oh, and btw - bombs dont distinguish between Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, atheists, whites, blacks, asians, hispanics, in America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Israel, Arab countries, South America, etc., etc., etc." Do not try to act as if what we are doing is so superior morally speaking because its not. Anyone who wants to lie to themselves is free to do so but I am not gonna let you lie and spread your propaganda to others about it.
We seldom regret saying too little but often regret saying too much.
"Mormon- a religion which used to promote treating women like cattle and marrying as many as you like."
That's a blatant falsehood. Why don't you go look up the facts before opening your mouth?
I challenge you to find any religion (or philosophy) that treats women with as much respect as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
The radical sect of Islam would either see you dead or "reverted" to Islam.
