They probably got the idea from DirecTV, who assumed anyone who bought a smartcard programmer is stealing their service.
"Pay us $3000 and we'll go away. Otherwise be prepared to go to court and we will suck your wallet dry, whether you win or not."
For some definition of "stolen", anyway. From Cortez to the East India Company to the slave trade, natural and human resources were systematically removed from the rest of the world by European colonial powers.
Ahh, the good old days. How I miss them. *sniff*
Read the fine print in your warranty if you're not satisfied. With my projection TV I bought at Best Buy, the warranty specifically says you can cancel at anytime and get a prorated refund.
There is a certain amount of truth to this. I hated college as well (the classes, no the experience), but made it through four years and passed my classes. I was a pretty poor student -- mostly because I was lazy and skipped classes a lot. I wouldn't say I learned a whole lot in college that I retained as useful engineering job skills.
But I got my slip of paper after four years signed by the university president, saying that I had tolerated four years of mindless bullshit. And behold, I have a job.
Americans were born to kid themselves. We're different, we're better but it's not our fault that we're fat and stupid. We've got guns! WEeeE!
Haha, quite true. Having been to Europe several times, it's always easy to spot my fellow Americans. Invariably they are loud, fat, stupid, and wear a T-shirt that says "USA #1".
I remember walking through Westminster Abbey, and this fat Jewish bitch in her thick New York accent says "You got your Henrys, your Georges, who CARES?"
While in Florence, I overheard a fat American bitch complaining to the waiter, "I asked for no onions with the potatoes, and I don't like this spaghetti, it's not right". On and on the bitch yakked, while the waiter stood there patiently not understanding a word she was saying. Stupid bitch.
How embarassing. It's easy to see why the rest of the world hates us.
And we've got guns! YEEEHAW!

You're forgetting something -- foreigners aren't allowed to work in India.
Don't you know free-trade only works in one direction?
What the fuck are you talking about? Both of your points make no sense.
No, most of it was stolen.

The point is, I don't give a shit about the Indian coder any more than he gives a shit about me.

Read the post, dumbass.

Nor will you. I don't believe foreigners are allowed to work in India. Welcome to the world of free (?) trade.
