I was trying to convey the fact that the Indians, many of whom are educated but can't find work to suit their education, need it more than the Americans who end up getting the jobs. And yes, that number was arbitrary, $200 per year would be a little more like it.
No, you have to read the other posts to see what I mean by not getting oil from Venezuela, Alaska, Saudi Arabia, or Iraq. If we followed "I am a racist."'s suggestion of "fucking Saudi Arabia," we would not get there oil. He wants to voluntarily stop buying oil from them. And my reason that Alaska would be part of Russia is that if we did what he wanted, cut off all international relations, we would have never even gotten Alaska so very long ago. I'm trying to prove that if not for globalism, what he is so stroly opposed to, we wouldn't have oil, we wouldn't have Alaska, we wouldn't have America. Surely he doesn't think that most of us are Native Americans, does he?
But when one of those "niggers of Asia" was born, do you think that they had a choice? If they were born in the United States to some middle class white Protestant family, do you think they would turn out the same way? Of course not. Your development depends on your enviornment, the reason why if you're cloned and seperated at birth and then you reunite with your clone you will probably be noticably different. What choice do these people have to succeed? None. So how are you going to pass judgement on people who have never gotten the chance?
Oh no, I understand his point quite well. I'm just trying to point out that it has no merit. I achieve that by pointing out that if he dislikes Indians for x reason then he must also dislike Jews for x reason. With that, I can disprove that Jews are whatever he says they are, therefore disproving his original point. In a mathematical proof it's called "supposition" and then when you finally prove the assumed wrong it's called a contradiction.
I just don't understand why the Indians are inferior and not the Jews, by your reasoning. If the Indians are inferior because they are being exploited, would the Jews be horribly inferior because they were gassed? Under your logic, I don't see why the fuck not.
But in our "what if" situations, we're talking about policies in the present. What if things were changed today, is what I'm asking. Well, and then there is the overlaying theme that I am a racist is a hateful bastard, but I think that we can all agree on that.
Like the other kids exploit me? Buddy, I don't know what high school you went to, but I was never forced to produce your sneakers at gunpoint for fifty cents per day in 120 degree heat. Unless of course your school was a sweatshop. Was it?
You really think that the US would go to war if we cut off their oil supply? And why is that? What gives the US the right to demand that countries trade? Just because we use up more gas on useless things (*cough*SUVs*cough*), that makes us more eligible for the oil? That's their home. That's their Jerusalem. That's where their Prophet was born, died, and lived. That's where their religion started. What gives you the right to take that away from you? The fact that you need to ride in 4x4 and drive two blocks down when you could easily walk? I think not, you bastard.
Unless you made them inferior, you have to pick a position. Did you make them poor, or are they inferior?
By the same token, were the Jews inferior? Were the Poles inferior? Are Africans inferior? Are homosexuals inferior? Are gypsies inferior? Are Catholics inferior? Because they were all persecuted and killed by the Nazis. All of 'em. What about blacks? It's true, they have a higher poverty level than whites in America. Are they inferior? Are they "filthy" because they have a high AIDS rate? Are they "dumb" because they are statistically less educated than white? Are they "poor" because on a whole they have a higher poverty rate? Are they murderers because the leading cause of death in healthy, black males within the less-than-old age range is homocide?
Where do you draw the line? Are Romanians inferior because they were beaten by the Turks and are now one of the poorest countries in Europe? Are Jews inferior because six million of them accepted the fate of death in the death chambers? Because if they are, then I have to as you, why am I--a Romanian Jew--sitting here on a computer reading a [fairly] intelligent news source, being somebody with some intelligence in a middle class family, one who will most likely go on to college, inferior to you? Because if I am, I don't see it.
Does you or somebody you know drive a car? When one drives a car, they put gasoline in, right? Where does that gasoline come from? Oil, right? Where does that oil come from? Venezuala, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, or Alaska, most likely. Venezuala is on the verge of civil war, you've isolated yourself from the Saudis and the Iraqis, and Alaska is under the control of Putin. Oh well, it looks like your kids aren't gonna get to soccer practice.
No, you're not reading my comment correctly. The point is that if other countries did what you want to do to them, we would be poor. The only reason India is poor is because of people like you who must shop USA and for those people who don't understand that India = cheaper. If India was given the trade opportunties that the US is given and if they had the relations that we did, they would be just as powerful as us. And if we had the relations that they do, we'd be poor as them. So you are the reason they are poor! Yes, you!
Regarding your point about not producing anything of their own: What the fuck are you talking about? India has some of the best technical institutes in the world and a large portion of the people are college educated (just like most Eastern European countries in the same position), they have vast argiculture capabilities, and they have many vanity resources (spices, dyes, etc.). That's not even mentioning tourism, much livable land, cheap labor (you don't really think that the keyboard your typing on was made by a union worker, do you?), and others.
Maybe they're poor because of you? Do you really think that if the United States stopped trading with everybody (specifically Iraq and Saudi Arabia, our main oil suppliers considering that Venezuala is for shit now), dropped Alaska (we bought it from Russia, you know, because of good diplomatic relationships), we would still be the super power that we are? No. We would smell and we'd bathe in the Mississippi River. Are you so dumb that you don't understand that? If all other nations did to the United State what you want to do to India and Saudi Arabia, do you think we'd be the way we are? No. No we would not. Get an education, because you've just been outsmarted by a high school freshman.
I wonder why it's a cess pool? Maybe because of the long British imperial rule who didn't give a shit about anyone but those three guys who owned those three plantions? No, couldn't be. It's got to be those people who are harming you so much by letting the women put dots on their foreheads. That, again, was sarcasm, in case that American flag was stuck too far up your ass.
Yeah, because some high school dropout who will only now earn $20,000 per year needs the job more than a college educated Indian who can't find a job but is willing to work for the equivalent of $2,000 per year in order to feed is three-person family. That was sarcasm, in case you didn't notice.
"It's not like I'm doing anything illegal" says the name of the man with the uid of a virus. Maybe in France you aren't, but here in America we have rules. So please, take off your shoes before you enter the house.
Apple going Wintel? Uh...no. x86 does not mean Windows and Intel. First of all, in Apple's case, there would be no Windows in it. And since when is Intel the only x86 manufacturer? What about AMD? So, no, Apple would not go Wintel.
Speaking of all this Wintel, there are a lot of people out there who run Linux on AMD. I think I'll coin a new catch phrase. Yes, I'll call it...Linamd. Pronounced...uh...well, we'll get to that when we move this idea off of Slashdot.;-)
Silly project? You're crazy. What's silly about pointlessly replying to threads and seeing how far out they can go when you could always just download Slashcode and see for yourself? Okay, so maybe it is silly...
That's like saying that the discovery of the atom has brought us closer to finding a cure for AIDS. Sure, it has obviously, but almost every damn cell has RNA in it. The rRNA and the mRNA transcript the DNA and send it to another cell to be replicated. So of course HIV has RNA to carry the message, everything does! There were/are far more important advances stemming from the discovery of RNA than HIV/AIDS.
This is a no-brainer. OpenBeOS's new name! It's been over a month since the vote has closed, how long does it take to log in to the MySQL server and do a query to see how many votes each got? I mean, come on!
Haha, I feel so sorry for the sucker who rented the time slot while this article is on Slashdot's front page. Do you get a refund if the site gets Slashdotted while it's your turn?
This is exactly why I use Opera. And it is actually intelligent, too. It only blocks the pop-ups that are activated by JavaScript when the page loads, but it leaves the click-activated pop-ups that are essential to some sites. Do what you will with the pop-ups, I say, because I won't see them anyway.
Not a smart idea. Sure, you can run it through an HTML validator, but give them a warning message, don't prohibit them from using it. That's just plain mean. What if I don't like using lowercase tags? Uppercase is so much easier to use. And what if I don't like <strong> or <em>? It's a nice concept, but don't make it mandatory.

On the same token, you could say that the Jews weren't smart enough to avoid being gassed. So let's gass 'em, right? Me first, me first!

You, my good sir, are a hypocrite.
I don't care that I made them poor.
All of this is because of their own inferiority.
Unless you made them inferior, you have to pick a position. Did you make them poor, or are they inferior?
