You sound like a disgruntled liberal who thinks the world owes you
a living.

I'm for competition in the marketplace.

You sound like a might-makes-right libertarian living in a fantasy
land, who cannot comprehend the importance of playing by the rules.


I would remind you that Microsoft writes and sells its software
in many languages. Certainly some of the programing for this
software needs to be written by people who are fluent with the
language it is written.

That is an off-the-wall, erroneous, and irrelevant excuse.


Additionally, MS and Bill Gates gives millions of dollars to
causes all over the world.

To its pet women and minority charities, but I already mentioned
that. Perhaps you do not read?

Microsoft and other elitists looking for a quick buck are in a
counterproductive/premature push for globalization. It's
counterproductive because the rest of the world couldn't care less
about our (United States) intellectual property.


How much have YOU given???

Significantly more, percentage wise.

How much have you given?


My advice to you is that if you are not already in France marching
with others who believe it is someone else's responsibility for
YOUR success, that you go there and join in.

Another subject you might want to read about before you discuss. The
protests in France were staged by young Muslim immigrants. My
argument revolves around the H-1B visa immigration issue and
outsourcing.
