Those who oppose outsourcing I assume are careful not to shop at Walmart and careful to see where the products they purchase are made right? I've met plenty of people who talk of the villainous companies that outsource jobs as they head over to Walmart in their Toyota Camry. Apparently to some people it's only okay if THEY save
And no, we're just saying that we don't want them getting married in a place of God, if you get what I'm saying?? Your place of God? That's fine, like I said, if your Church won't marry gay people, I doubt anyone will make them. But there are churches that will want to marry gay people, and they shoul
Right. So re-read what I actually wrote - and while you're doing it exercise a little intelligence. I have re-read the rest, the rest makes perfect sense, but that line does not, so I'd like you to explain it, since you're so quick to latch on when someone else makes a statement that does not make sen
I can see both sides of this argument, and frankly the thing that bothers me most about this whole issue is that the Indians taking these jobs are being payed so much less than Americans in that role would be. Of course it's not a matter of them being "forced to take the job," but by being payed considerably less, they're being insulted by the company, and ensuring that equally qualified Americans can't really compete as easily. Then there the
We just said that it shouldn't be done in the churches or court rooms. Churches that don't want it: fine. But court rooms? Okay, so where then? GAY Court Rooms? What next GAY Bathrooms, GAY School, etc. etc.? The point was that the government, a supposedly secular institution, is givi
He could have tied his beliefs into a neat little package and remained consistent with the title of the article, but he chose not to. Yes, I was a little confused when, with a title like that, he stated that he REALLY wanted to discuss prayer... okay... And thank you for your comment on my summ
Lord Shitzu, I think you're more agnostic than atheist. Blasphemy! >8) No, I think I am an atheist with some a penchant (or a desire) for the spiritual. The fact that my beliefs coincide almost 100% with those Everett posted above helps to confirm this >8). If God exists, yet
Ahh, the perils of living in a hick town. For a moment I thought you said: "Ahh, the penis of living in a hick town." I was a little confused. I should probably get some sleep.
Anyway, arguing that someones arguing style is argumentative is a useless argument in itself, dont ya think? In general, of course it is, but that doesn't change the fact that most of the posts I have seen Pearl make have argued with both sides of an argument, while flaming the speaker, and stressing th
Isnt advancing ones argument the whole point of forum participation? Perhaps sycophantic agreement and adoration is preferable? No, they are not prefferable, what is prefferable is civil discussion rather than blatant attacks and insults, not to mention spen
This is probably neither here nor there, but when I called tech support with my computer I got a guy in India and he was awesome. He was super polite and incredibly knowlegable and even called me back later that day and then again the next day to make sure things were working OK. So, anonymous Indian tech support guy who works fo
AndyBaker, indeed, the dilemma I speak of is that of "soul" or consciousness, and that is what causes the problem for me. The perception of individual consciousness leads towards the idea that "soul" should exist, but as an Atheist, I can't really figure where it comes from, or where it goes. That is the only question that leads me to interest in spirituality (outside of Western Religion, which I'm a bit soured on for all the OTHER aspects of
Also, I was explaining what Americans mean when they say "American jobs," because some of them are very angry over this sort of thing, though I myself, as I've said, am a little torn about what I think of it.
Hi Lord ShitzuIt might be news to you, but in todays global scenarion, there is no such American or non American company. IBM have full time development centers in India(atleast two Development centers), Australia, Japan - all over the world. It is certainly 'cheaper' over here but also may be people are doing 'better' job here.
According to Dante's Inferno, Limbo is where the unbaptized but otherwise virtuous souls go.... Now admittedly Dante is not canon, but I understood that his overall beliefs were representative of the Church. citahellion, Dante's view is certainly inspired by Catholicism, but it's not really representati
Pearl is very well spoken, too bad he uses his powers for the pure sake of arguing with people. Out of all the responses I've seen you give to people's posts, 95% are simply attacks on their thoughts or the way said thoughts were stated. You already firmly believe you have all the answers and are smarter, better, and more convincing than anyone else, so why waste your time on us simpletons?
Liberal Liberals… Are wary of American arrogance and hypocrisy Trace much of today's anti-American hatred to previous US foreign policies. Believe political solutions are inherently superior to military solutions Believe the US is morally bound to intervene in humanitarian crises Oppose American imperialism Support international law, alliances, and agreements Encourage US participation in the UN Beli
Atheists do not deny the existence of God. They deny that God is anything but void. I'm sorry but I fail to see the distinction. If you're saying that Atheists believe that God exists but is inconsequential... well that goes against the very definition, so that can't be what you're saying... right?</fon
For instance, I don't like RTS but love TBS games. I had to look around quite a bit to see that Disciples looks like a TBS game. Other games have a better description text, but I think a 'category/genre' column in the main games panel would really help now there are many games. Not to be overly critical
I am not sure what does "american jobs" stand for. He means when an American company, like IBM, stationed in America and serving Americans with support, forwards their tech support to India, because it's cheaper, thereby taking jobs that would otherwise have gone to American IT Pros.
Merry Christmas, lets Kill A Tree for Christ! Don't you mean for Mithras? After all, "Christmas" is just a stolen Holiday anyway, not that it matters, considering different religions ripped each others beliefs off all the time.
I can see where that would be a limiting factor for this game but I think they were mainly targetting it at a US audience. Perhaps a dev in your country could cut a deal with Brad to make a localized version of it? I dunno about the viability of that greywar, considering that most other democratic natio
Wow, that's really awful... I don't know, obviously I am aware that very few Christians would do something like that to please their god, but just the fact that the Bible contains all the cruelty it does, along with deviant stuff and hateful rhetoric makes me wonder why religion is allowed to exist. It's great that some of the book is inpirational and teaches to love your neighbor, but frankly, I can decide that being nice to my neigh
As an Atheist it is hard for me to speak about an afterlife, at it's most basic I believe there is no afterlife, that when we die, like all matter be decay, and eventually are reused by the universe, nothing of the "we" that were remains. There are however some idealogies like the one I stated above which, while I dislike traditional western religion, make me think about what it is that makes us who we are. The biggest problem I perso
An excellent policy, I agree.
