This issue of immigration needs to be clarified. Immigration is good. ILLEGAL immigration is BAD. Those are two very different situations. Those illegals are spiting in the faces of those that are going through the long processes of immigration.
Try living in southern california. I live outside of San Diego and I've seen first had how illegal immigration has HURT our communities. In terms of depressed wages, the drain on hospitials, schools, and on the list goes.
$15 Billion. Thats $15 Billion we don't have in our economy anymore. It's not fueling business, employment, or consumer spending.
I'm tired of *uninformed* people making statements like 'open immigration' - 'no borders' without knowning the implications of those actions. You don't even have a clue what devestation those policies would exact!
...Well, then again... if nothing is done about our current immigration problem - you might very well have an idea in the coming years...
Rational dislike becomes irrational hatred when you refuse to acknowledge anything good coming from your competition.
Some of you crap on Gates' donation - calling it a PR stunt or what have you... Listen, Microsoft will sell products whether Gates donates or not. What I find incomprehensible is that you elevate your blind hatred of Microsoft/Gates above the lives of millions of children dying from preventable illnesses. Isn't humanity and life more important?
What a ridiculous remark! This is what I'm talking about! You even recognize your outlandish remark and then criticize me for making uneducated comments. Your concept of 'educated' falls within the lines your ideologies - anything apart from that is 'uneducated.' What is with some of you guys having to denigrate everyone who disagrees with you?
This attitude will relegate you to the fringe forever.
As for the REAL world - I run the I.T of a medium sized college. Using both Microsoft and *nix technologies makes our institution stronger and more robust. Its about realizing strengths and capitalizing on them... Not equating competing technology as 'Satan' or evil incarnate.
Help me to understand... Why is it that the vast majority of the/. Crowd possesses this fanatical hatred for anything Microsoft/Bill Gates? Completely irrational. I'm relatively unbiased about technology - Microsoft has its strengths and weaknesses and likewise *nix has its strengths and weaknesses. I accept both and utilize both.
If I were to embrace Open Source completely would I have to become as fanatical...?
Would it kill you to give Gates credit for working to save the lives of millions of less fortunate people?
