[quote="Sgt Stryker":6d0e3]I am more concerned about how everything is being transferred out of country so cheaper labor can be obtained.
I watched 60 minutes last night and did you know that the people you call (or who call you) about credit cards, that stuff they sell on TV, and even Dell customer support are not Americans, but Indians in India ed:

America is basically supplied and run by foreign countries, therefore we are economically vulnerable on all fronts.[/quote:6d0e3]

You have to realize that other countries are just as dependant on foreign trade as we are, many much more than us. This economic dependancy is a result of the globalized economy. The overall benefits to this, however, far outweigh the problem of economic dependancy.

who cares if the oil runs out all you need to know is how to survive in the wild and your fine!

...yes, we should all learn to make a Pentium4 PC using only bark, twigs, and plastic bottles. freak:

that is so true...i have called dell support at least 4 or 5 times, and every time i have gotten someone who i can barely understand, usually sounds arabic or indian! and i thought dell was from houston texas! annoy:

my older bro works in coustomer service for dell and he told me that they were going to start closing down their CS lines in foriegn nations that way people can actually understand whats going on. dell tought the people how to do their job right but failed to teach them proper english

Meh, let our grandkids deal with it.

...assuming any of us will have grand kids

theyre based here in austin tx. and yea i get pissed when i have to listen to towel heads from sprit tell me whats wrong with my phone, i hope they take back all the CS stuff back to america

that's a good point, if they cut off contact than it hurts them as much as us,
but there are idiot leaders out there who don't care about their people as long as they can piss us off (Taliban comes to mind)

[quote="Eight Ace":13e7c]That's a great idea!, you could also consider a high performance "shit-injected" model. cool:[/quote:13e7c]




biggrin:

maybe coldfusion?

I remember in 3rd grade they said by the year 2000 there would be no oil. Same shit here.

I heard somewhere that iraq alone could suppy the world with oil for some 25 years.
