Dude thinks I don't buy American whenever possible, is a moron.
@Guard: 90% seems a bit high, IMO. Other than that valid point(s.)

Re: Stop and smell the roses every once in a while...
American foreign policy is nothing if not exploitative of other countries. There's a lot of problems with how we do things, we won't change as long as we stay comfortable and satisfied with the way things are. But making change isn't easy and there's no sure fire way to do it.
Hi. I'm angry on the internet.

Even if our jobs come back to the mainland, they'll just bring in more H1Visa guys to the USA, and people will watch their jobs get taken away on their own soil...there's always someone who will work for less. Whether you go to them or bring them to you, there's no stopping globalization IMO.

Pretty sure they'd close the plants in China, and bring our jobs back to the mainland where they belong.Magyk wrote:Dude blaming an entire country for the actions of a few, makes sense to me.

If that Law pass, you can say goodbye to Internet as we all know it.

Ironic, isn't it?

I did a report on Chile when I was in fifth grade, and have wanted to visit ever since. It's probably in my top 3 with New Zealand and Russia.piipe wrote:thx dude.. visit USA has been my dream like forever after i can just die happy, wanna visit new york,vegas gonna watch a footbal game beisball basketball and gonna watch the wwe :BMagyk wrote:chile is in my top countries I want to visit, actually.

That's true, but I would think they only hire people with visas on a mass scale if it's a profession that not enough people go into. And visas are actually getting harder and harder to obtain, these days...GUARD!AN wrote:Even if our jobs come back to the mainland, they'll just bring in more H1Visa guys to the USA, and people will watch their jobs get taken away on their own soil...there's always someone who will work for less.
