    The fact that you think the way you do puts you squarely in the realm of evil, on the grounds that stupidity is evil.

    Wait, what? Do you happen to personally know someone who helped found this country, and is now being "robbed" of the benefits they are "entitled" to? Please tell me who this is. I must learn the secrets to their longevity.

    Yeah, it's ALL because of the farmers. Every bit of it. The inflation, skyrocketing costs, etc. ALL their fault.

    And ALL of them are driving around in Hummers and F350s with 96" mudders and 5000W stereo systems, I'm quite certain. EVERY ONE of those asshole, EVIL farmers. How dare those fuckers have the gall to take time out of their lives to put crops in the ground to feed YOU.

    So if HR says the salary range is $45-50,000 you just go along, even though actual citizens who are qualified are averaging $80,000 for the position. It's OK right? No, in actuality you want to do it that way. You are a cheat, a scammer, an idler. You would sell your soul to the highest bidder and enslave everyone else to do it.

    And you're a moron.

    Tell me, how is it "slavery" if the person CHOOSES ....

    Let me say that again:

    CHOOSES ... to employ themselves at this company?

    Can't wait to hear the rationalization and excuses to follow.

    Pot/kettle analogy

    If these H1B education visas are sending people to the same schools we go to, then what's the difference?

    It's quite simple:

    Are 95% of these H1B candidates bad too?

    Nope.

    Do you think someone who got a degree in the Punjab got a better education,

    Not necessarily.

    and if so, why do they need to come here for a degree, or to work?

    It has nothing to do with "need." It has to do with desire. That Indian wants to work his ass off to build something for himself, and will jump through any hoops to get it. The American is (on average) a spoiled little shit, who feels he's entitled to the life of a wealthy man just because he happens to have been born in America.

    No, asshole: just being born here doesn't guarantee you a fucking thing. Life is a competition. Work to win, or succeed at failing; it's your choice. If you won't compete then prepare to be beaten by the hordes of immigrants who will.

    But the temptation to abuse him is high and most management level dudes have no clue when they cross the line.

    That's why you need to start looking out for your own interests, instead of just being a doormat. When you "trust" the "authorities" to never abuse you, abuse is all you'll ever get.

    You may not be aware, but they hate us (non-muslims, Westerners). I don't necessarily blame them - I've seen photos of the Middle East. It looks like it sucks balls over there. If I lived there, I'd be pissed off all of the time too.

    I thought all the dumb asses quit spouting the "they hate us for our freedoms" bullshit years ago. Now it's "they hate us for our trees and water"?

    What a fucking moron.

    Maybe you should look at MORE pictures of the "Middle East" some time. It's not just one big desert. There is a shitload of spots over there that are wonderful places to live.

    The rest of us, i.e. those with a fully functioning brain, allow for multiple possible scenarios - at least until there's some proof to narrow them down.

    And those of us with a fully functioning brain, an IQ above room temperature, AND knowledge of all the entities involved, KNOW this is Israel working in concert with the CIA.

    What "proof" are you expecting to suddenly pop up out of nowhere that this CLANDESTINE operation is occurring and we are responsible?

    Why in the world would China or Russia attack the Middle East and Iran specifically? Those are the only two other entities in the world capable of pulling off such an attack.

    There's a legitimate worry that China wouldn't be a useful participant and would take secrets from the other parties doing work on the station.

    So to prevent that, they've taken action to ensure that China, feeling scorned, will go off on its own path. They will develop/steal the same technology anyway through other means, all on their own and independently....then in the end there will be the same outcome, except now the Chinese have good reason to dislike and mistrust us.
