I'd be willing to wager a great deal of money that this so-called "history teacher" has never read Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, Johann Huizinga nor any other true historians of a high caliber. Probably has only one or two Classic Comics under his belt - or panties.....
Holy Crap! I had that stupid eye operation, and I'm still not 20/20 - but I'm glad to see that clown Peters rightfully assigned to the category of media creations (move on over, H. Ross Perot, G. Gordon Liddy, John Lilly, and a host of others)....
As more skilled workers come to America the less appealing outsourcing looks because all the good talent will all be here in the first place.
Totally bogus, totally nonsensical! Get a clue, clueless wonder! It's got nothing to do with skill, only cheap and easily controlled labor. Don't you ever read the news, kiddie? The World Bank just chastised China for even suggesting that they adopt labor unions in their country! Doesn't that clue you in to anything? Or is even the thought of a moment of critical thinking simply too much for your minimal brain?
Everytime N.A.M. has suggested a shortage of some kind, another tremendous bout of American job offshoring takes place. This has been going on back to 1934.
The quality of products produced by US workers has also declined.
What products, moron? Just about everything is produced offshore now. And don't lecture real Americans about quality decline - it is only the quality of the piss-poor, amoral Amerikan management which has declined, and abysmally so!
There is no common sense pertaining to American business, you frigging imbecile. It is people like you that keep claiming the American economy is growing (Hint: subtract the explosion in corporate and personal debt over the previous 6 years which is counted as a growth number under the GDP - and the economy has been shrinking). America has reached the point where the majority of industries are now majority-foreign owned! Chew on that, Rover! Only neocons and religious freaks shop at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club - catch a clue, clueless wonder!
Finally, an intelligent post - thanks Good Citizen khasim!
This solution from a Bush appointee! Now let's see, what was Bush's IQ the last time I checked - and no, it can't be based upon his SAT scores which were taken by an individual paid to do so. Nor can it be derived from that one Officer's test - again which has no security surrounding it.
Instead, what were his AFQT scores? Never been able to find that out? Wonder why? Could it possibly be that they are taken in a secured, lockdown environment? Thus negating any form of cheating??
So some lowbrow, cognitive lightweight and poli sci grad - and probably another Unification Church (a k a Moonie) appointment, so prevalent in this moronic, criminal administration. [Once more for the record, this American answered the call of the military draft...this American knows what high SAT scores are...and this American doesn't lie, cheat, steal, murder and is capable of stringing together an occasional coherent sentence.]
So you are taking this former clown-shyster of ITAA at his word - in which case he will be the first individual ever connected with that phoney association whose only agenda is the importation of foreign replacement workers and the exportation of American jobs - to have uttered something that some dufus, somewhere (notably on/. post) took seriously.......
Congratulations - we know who really missed out on his education, now don't we???
Well done, Citizen Arker! Perhaps Mr. Bill will return to Harvard and finally study Computer Science 101 - and decide he needs to redo everything - for legacy sake, of course!
Or perhaps he will study Economics 101 and suddenly realize how honest economic systems are supposed to work! Now that's a thought....
Well done, Citizen 2short! Was anyone keeping record of the ACTUAL temperature back then?
The individual who raised that question has obviously never heard of dendochronology nor paleoclimatology. Science is about elucidating reality to the nimrods....
There are sure to be a great many of replies to this interrogative - the majority of them wonderful! But please allow me to add my own most humble comments:
Heinlein ranged far and wide on the myriad possibilities of the human race - just take a gander at "All You Zombies" along with "The Green Hills of Earth." His work on future spy fiction set the gold standard ("The Puppet Masters") while his earliest works made science wonderfully exciting. He opened up his readers' imagination to the infinite possibilities at a time when things may have looked particularly bleak - given the nuclear buildup, the arms race, the Cold War (and its many proxy wars), not too far off from the this present era.
He championed the positive side of capitalism ("--We Also Walk Dogs") - while realizing its obvious downsides (that short story where the wealthy business owner - inherited wealth, that is - goes undercover to experience the real slave labor shops his companies run). He romanticized science, space travel and adventure. He embodied the life philosphy of self-improvement, individual responsibility and a citizen's true worth and measure. Life as a constant evolution, adaptation and adventure. His disdain for humanity was always evident, so too his hope and yearnings for it.
An imagination without bounds. His science might sometimes be out-of-date by today's standards (see the description energy consumed by human cognition in "Lost Legacy") but his mindset was forever in the future. From "Beyond This Horizon" and "Methuselah's Children" to "Sixth Column" and "Starman Jones," he gave hope to the masses of optimistic and thinking readers out here.
'This past spring, which country first published inflammatory cartoons of the prophet Mohammed?' I did not know the answer.
You still don't know the answer, chump! It so happens Denmark wasn't the first to publish such cartoons, and they didn't publish cartoons in the plural, but only one cartoon - ergo, not a very well-informed cognitive scientist - do not look to this clown for future scientific advances in the field of cognitive neuroscience. What America - and a number of other countries need - is massive media reform.....
Re:Rumsfeld was not the architect of the Iraq war

Rumsfeld Stepping Down
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
Actually (all us college types say "Actually"), you be wrong on all three counts, dudey.
AARP ain't the strongest lobby in Washington (and neither is AIPAC) and the majority of faculty at Harvard are clueless pimps! That said, the oil lobby is probably one of - if not the - most powerful. The primary reason Iraq was invaded was Saddam pledged plubicly he was going to switch to the Euro to sell his oil and he was going to double oil production. The secondary reason was the Busheviks considered this to be a good move to build up "political capital." (Go figure?!) And who the f**k bothers with Freud or Jung anymore.....
Yet amazingly a replacement for Rumsfeld was found in a few hours.
I think there may be more to it than that - Gates, a former CIA director, made his way through the ranks of the Company by being a professional burgler (a k a "black bag" guy). Since there is anywhere from $1 trillion to $3.3 trillion missing from the Pentagon, there is probably some money left still to steal, even if only borrowed money.
(And please don't bother disputing my background information on Gates, I'm personally familiar with his work.) Say, a vote for a Republican is a vote for Osama....
Finally, intelligent and thoughtful advice. Some of the other blithering posts (such as "..there will always be work for talented programmers...", etc.) ignores the obvious point about the clown who is in the position to decide who is actually "talented."
I'm reminded of, I think it was Mitch Kapor, who started Go Corporation many years ago, who complained that he couldn't find any talented and dependable programmers. This was because he had sold those programmers he had hired on being employed with his company for the life of the company, but then as each one finished their individual part of the development project they were laid off. Consequently, the remaining ones took longer and longer to complete their assignments.....
You, good Citizen Grym, have won the prize for critical thinking skills. Of course, the one possible weak point is, assuming those US government videos of Osama and friends are to be believed, Atta may have been one of those hijackers who were unaware it was in actuality a suicide mission. Thank you.
A simple question - simply requiring critical thinking skills - and I ask this fully aware that those fascists in the White House (USA) are morally, ethically, and legally wrong to invade and occupy Iraq. Query: Just why are those Sunnis and Shi'a killing one another in such a focused fashion? And in what other religions do such great numbers of suicide bombers occur? None of the Benedictine nuns nor Jesuit brothers ever suggested I suicide for Christ.....
The nations involved are Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Of course, since the UAE (Royal Family of Dubai) now owns at least six US ports (never divested, and with the passage of the US-Oman Free Trade Agreement by those Republicofasicsts and Globalists masquerading as democrats [can you say D.I.N.O.?] their ownership is now considered perfectly legitimate) it seems like the perfect opportunity.
Speaking of conspiracy, ChePibe, try this one on. At this very moment the US Navy is conducting military exercises off of Iran's coast. Note how the Iranian Navy isn't conducting military exercises off of America's coast. Sometime after it begins to become apparent that the November elections have again been rigged, sometime of "Iranian incident" occurs. Next an American port is bombed, necessitating the shutdown of all US ports and the extended use of Mexican (and perhaps Canadian) ports (Please refer to DHS-Maritime Infrastructure Recovery Program - created this past April).
All events, of course, directing news away from the (once again) stolen elections.
Congratulations, dudette. I didn't happen to mention that - but you are right on target! Unfortunately, real Americans don't wan't repub(es)licans in the party or even in the country - they can return to Soviet-land with the rest of the peasant swine. Replicofascists not wanted here....best way to overthrew the government? Anyone know the obvious answer?
