Look for something really special to take place on the 6th day - of the 6th month - of the 6th year of the new millenium. That would be June 6, 2006 to people who are arithmetically-challenged.
OK, I made this whole thing up, but it sounds pretty good, 666, huh????
Ahhh...I believe you mean his highness, the Emir Bush. Just yesterday his other highness, the Emir Cheney, said Americans are stupid for not saving more money (first negative savings year since the Great Depression)....hmmm...could it be people don't have the economic wherewithal to save for all the offshoring of their jobs??????
No, that couldn't possibly be....too logical....Big Brother and their Emirs would never allow logic....Say, who managed that Yemeni port when the USS Cole was bombed?????
If at any time in your short life you had developed critical thinking and analytical skills, you might have noticed there is a tremendous discrepancy between the actual number of outsourcing of IT (and other category) jobs and the numbers being "reported" by the mainstream (i.e., corporate-owned) newsies. The number of IT jobs offshored (or American workers replaced by Punjabis and Paks) continues to grow exponentially (you may have to look up the meaning of the word "exponentially").
Those of us who fought the wars (including keeping the sealanes free from piracy), did the chores (created the software now being used by you clowns) only to be laid off and have our jobs shipped overseas and declared "unemployable" by corporate america - certainly aren't entitled to anything - but all you Punjabis surely are....
Also having science degrees, and having worked at Microsoft from time to time in their retail tech support (when it was still in this country), I can attest to the number of know-nothing MSCE's who called in for the lamest of tech problems and installs.
I believe you have accurately described the existing reality (unlike so many of the posters prior to you).
Great job!!!! For those thousands (millions?) of people who were laid off and locked out of IT at what would have been the peak creative and productive point of their lives - the future isn't so grand looking.....
Actually, according to Rumsfeld and Company (deserter Bush and draft-dodger Dick "Just say no to mixing heart medicine, alcohol and firearms" Cheney) perception is the problem. To them, perception is EVERYTHING!
Hmmmmm.....so that Muslim cleric in Pakistan REALLY doesn't have that one million dollar bounty he placed on that Danish cartoonist's head??????
And old Yasser Arafat didn't really have billions stashed away in Swiss bank accounts???? (Better explain that to his widow and former comrades, dude!)
You're absolutely right. Cartoons should motivate crazies to murder. (You are a complete moron!)
FYI - only ONE CARTOON was from that Danish cartoonist (the one with the dynamite sticking out of his head), the other cartoons were from Ahmed Akkari's (the Muslim living in Denmark - who should be really living among his own kind back in camel-land) collection - and where he got them from - assuming they weren't his very own creations - is based solely on Akkari's word and his word alone.
You remind me of this clown who used to be a contractor at Microsoft - the kind who wears those inept "Adapt or die" t-shirts.
He said the same thing one time, then later when he came down with brain cancer he started saying something completely different. Unfortunately, for him it was too late......
Thanks for so wisely and lucidly stating reality. It is sad there are so many today who refuse to acknowledge reality - I blame it on to many fantasy beer commercials.....
This situation is rather obviously predictable when one reflects upon the choice for president (a failure and military deserter) and vice president (a failure and draft-dodger). Of course, they both have more money than most of us - but it is how they came by that money. They are both losers through and through - and that last shooting by Mr. "Just say no to mixing heart medicine and booz and firearms" Cheney isn't even necessary evidence (although it didn't hurt....).
The problem with that idiot Hurtt's moronic statment is: the present and past history of the FBI, CIA, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and far too many local police departments.
In Seattle, there have been premeditated murders over the past thirty years by several members of the local county police. Do I trust anyone in the state police and county police? No way, dude!
All the spin on this subject changes nothing - it is cheaper (although who knows how more expensive in the long run) for corporations to now outsource their research and development to foreign universities.
This trend is not new - it has been steadily growing over the past seven or so years - all part of the general outsourcing for cheaper labor movement (i.e., the 19th century British Empire business model).
Frankly, I completely agree with you - UNFORTUNATELY!!!
As so many corporations do business with China (i.e., either moved their factories over there wholesale, or purchase mostly from Chinese factories) there are simply far too many culprits. Given the labor practices over there - which rival Genghis Khan's treatment of conquered people - there are way too many amoral corporations existing today in the USA. But we are setting ourselves up for a most tragic fall.....
If you haven't read Thorsten Veblen in depth, please do so - you will find him brilliant. Veblen and Buddha were probably two of the most brilliant people who ever lived....
Your comment has merit. How many of these neocons actually served in the combat, let alone even in the military service. I have nothing against Senator McCain, but let's face it, the dude has basically no combat service. The first sortie he flew on he was immediately shot down and served all his time in the theater of combat as a POW.
And as for deserter Bush and draft-dodger Cheney, the less said the better.....

The Saudis actually own the entire United States of America. That's why nobody went after them after they took out the World Trade Center on 9/11/01!
Hmmm...so why did bushie wushie go after Iraq??????
Thanks for the most intelligent post of the century (and certainly today)!!!!

First he's got to get over his brain gap.....
Hmmm....the ear I live in reverberates so darn much I can't get any work done!!!!

You mean they aren't going to find Osama in the local library??? Maybe that's because he's in the Bush Family Compound.....
I recommend reading Tamara Draut's Strapped: Why America's 20- and 30-Somethings Can't Get Ahead" http://www.demos.org/pub663.cfm (which nicely explains the present-day situation).
