Outsourcing Options

[*kryogenix*]

What's your take on outsourcing? Here's a bit of background for those who don't know what it is: http://www.foreignaffairs.org/20040501faes...g-bogeyman.html


Personally, I don't really like it. Up until a few months ago, I wanted to become a computer programmer. But I learned that many of these jobs were being outsourced to other countries. However, it does help american business I guess.

This topic can easily be changed into a racial issue, but ill try not to say anything to anger people, because im not racist. I believe my opinion can be summed up in one phrase....jobless Americans...There are Americans that dont have jobs, yet people in other countries are getting jobs and keeping Americans out of the workforce. Until every American has a job, we shouldnt send American jobs outside of the country. What's gonna happen? We'll have a problem with our computer, call up the hotline, and the first thing we hear is "Praise Allah" or Ganeisha is great!"....you may think that, but that doesnt have anything to do with MY computer problem, or why I called you. They usually have such thick accents we cant understand them anyway, and rarely know squat about a computer that was made in Japan, and bought in America....i dont see a shipping route going through India here.... keep the jobs in the US, so we can understand who we are talking to, and so our own economy improves. Thats one of our countries many problems, we are too worried about another country's people and not enough about our own. We spend millions of dollars trying to set up a government they dont want, when all that money could be spent feeding the homeless or educating them on how to get jobs and take care of themselves. Its a middle-eastern country, let the middle-easterners set it up the way they see fit. Keep America just that...America.
