    How about in Kansas, where those who vote against gay rights and harm others in the name of God. I believe it was 83% vote, so I'm going to say 83% of those people are exactly what you are looking for.

    Why are corporations giving to the candidates in the first place? Only recently did that become legal because not allowing it is a violation of free speach. I say we A) don't make corporations the same as "people" and B) remove the right for a corporation to give money to candidate. Then this pesky problem wont be a problem anymore.

    Really about the 6months? I've worked with _a lot_ of h1-b's at Accenture and I was basically told by them they're was no grace period. Even then 60k (even in 2002) with more then 5+ years experience (which I'm assuming) was not competitive. In 2002 entry level was still around 50k (though location does make a difference) and (depending on skill) for a native developer the pay for 5-10years was between 85k-120k.

    Not true, Accenture was created in 2000 2 years after Enron. They used to be known as Andersen Consulting (yes a subsidary). And they only broke off to there own branch because it was melting and a lot of the executives thought that would be an easy way to hide. Source: I worked for them, I have the entire company history as a booklet and the seminar they take you through explain that you may have a bad rap because of it. They may be trying to change there history now, they were then. Such as, Enron also employed there IT workforce. Some food for thought.

    Your point is valid to an extent, there are a few diamonds among the ruff and there are some piss poor american programmers. But (in my experiences and most anecdotal experience I've heard) most native India indian programmers cannot program the simplest stuff. I've come to the belief that it is a culture thing, the ways we think and process stuff has got to be completely different here compared to there. I don't know what's so hard about thinking logically but trying to explain something (with pictures and everything, I spent 6 months in Hydrabad training a team) always seems to fail. Honestly I don't know why that entire country is mostly full of fails.

    No, you are quite wrong. While the average birthrate for white citizens is below average population growth, the blacks are reproducing on average at 4.5 children per male and female adults (meaning twice the population growth). Ignoring latina's is like 3.something. We have a growing population count without immigration.http://flagcounter.com/factbook/us

    try talking about changing the h1b visa laws so that h1b visa holders can change companies when they want to Umm, they can.

    If the next company sponsors them, if they don't (it costs quite a bit) they can't. The worker also can't just up and quit his job like you and me either as they're isn't a grace period. Complaints usually end in a quick termination and then the person has a short period to be on the next flight back to home. Try filing a lawsuit while in a different country and not even being a citizen. It's a difficult situation. On the same note, I agree with making h1b's harder to get and more lax once you get them (aka a grace period of atleast 90days, higher wages based on average salary for similar positions, etc).

    Interesting, can I get that bank employee's name? It's actually _illegal_ to accept any gift of any monetary value from a customer. This is not just a code of ethics thing, it's illegal on a federal level. Such as I work for a medium midwestern bank, I didn't know this policy so when my father (who banks there) decided to give me a gift for Christmas, I was forced to give it back. (My fault for saying how I got a nice gift card to Outback to my boss...). I then was forced to file a report to Feds which was an 11 page document explaining why I received it, it's approximate value, and a signature showing that the gift was returned. Anyways point is, not only can that employee get slapped with charges, you can get slapped with charges also for giving a gift to a bank employee.
