Which Google Should Congress Believe?

theodp writes "In Congressional testimony last month, Google's VP of People Operations told the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration that, due to limits on the number of H-1B visas, Google is regularly unable to pursue highly qualified candidates. But as Google stock tumbled in after hours trading Wednesday, Google's CEO blamed disappointing profits on a hiring binge and promised Wall Street analysts that the company would keep a careful eye on headcount in the future. So which Google should Congress believe?"

    Thank you for visiting Slashdot, yet again, to post a followup to my writings.

    I am convinced that you are not a stalker. I am also convinced that you have some intellectual ability of your own.

    It has become clear, over the last six months, that you do not like the topics which I choose. It has also become clear, over the last six months, that you do not like what I have to say about those topics. It has also become clear, over the last six months, that you will never relent in your demonstrated goal to follow up nearly everything which I post with an anonymous reply filled with derision, scorn, disdain, challenge, and vitriol. It is also clear that you have not made a single original post of your own but, rather, you exist only by coattailing on thoughts which I express.

    So here's your big chance: Sign up for an account, watch the front page, and post some original material or original thoughts of your own. Then e-mail to me a link to your particular post and I will make an honest and sincere effort to demonstrate for you what a constructive, and perhaps even a constructively critical, response would look like. Through a possible miracle it may happen that we could reach some sort of reasonable discourse rather than you simply following every post that I make with more of your challenges, disdain, scorn, derision, and vitriol.

    Wouldn't you like to make Slashdot a better place? I sure would. Here's your chance to demonstrate that you have any capacity at all to express your own thoughts.

    I called the La Jolla Library, the phone number is on the libraries' website. They'd never heard of you. Well, maybe I'm not completely convinced...
