What is it - not enough qualified graduates or it's better to outsource?

    In recent days, the tech industry has been complaining that America's schools are not teaching enough math and science to students.

    Earlier this year, they were saying people in tech jobs should look for other work, it was going to be cheaper to ship their jobs overseas, so they should be retrained.

    How does one make this add up? The only thing I see connected is they can educate foreigners in our schools, and ship the foreigners back home to work for local wages, but maybe that's just the conspiracy theorist in me. :)

    Follow the money. Outsourcing is all about cutting costs.

    BTW, recent college graduates in high tech fields are finding jobs scarce to find. Even the low end of the salary scale in the US is feeling the pinch from overseas and a sputtering economy.

    i think the problem lies in the internet, give any american a computer with access to the internet and in a month you will find 20 gigs of p*rn on the computer. any computer skills learned in school will be forgotten unless it can be used to get more boobies. thats why all our computer peoples can't get jobs here, they can't be efficient. There is a lack of Indian p*rn on the web, so those in India have yet to suffer a huge drop in their productivity.

    I actually saw an Indian lady in a US p*rn flick. The truth is out there...


    I guess I can see a logic in cutting costs - get a free ride on the federal government/local government training potential employees, thus widening the local pool (and foreign pool), making the local pool compete with 5x cheaper foreign talent, which pretty much eliminates most of the need for local talent.

    trust me, not as much as pissing, fat chick, or pregnant p*rn. there is way too much of that junk out there. I really hope that doesn't mean that people prefer geriatric and obese p*rn over indian p*rn, thats insane.

    sorry for diverting the topic.

    OK, I can understand some of the fat or pregnant stuff - perhaps such a woman can more easily get pregnant so one can pass on ones genes through her. The pissing I don't get at all. It's actually kind of unsexy since it's the same orifice and one will have to get up close and personal there. It's not the hyped female ejaculation you are talking about? Geriatric doesn't make any sense at all in a scheme where motives are derived from passing on the genes. Both of them seem like genes gone bad.

    Not to get off the subject, but I think Indian women are hot...In my past life, I was stuck in a Thai airport and the most beautiful women I have ever saw (Indian descent) was stuck in the airport as well...I couldn't stop staring, she was so beautiful...

    I'd say that is why Brittney was so popular when she was young. Men are naturally attracted to younger girls (late teens and early twenties) because they are the most fertile. Not that I'm making a value judgement, but that it is in our genetics to find the strongest and most fertile mate. As for that other stuff you mentioned, yeeeech! My best bud had a unique theory on p*rn. He says that if you watch too much, you need wierder and wierder stuff to get off. Quickly you go from watching lesbians to gangbangs to three midgets, a donkey and a woman. :D So guys, if you don't want to become perverse, according to the theory, ramp the p*rn viewing down a tosh.
