    Not a bad answer - but why should we look upon Canada, which pays its people quite well and has often been at our side when our country needed a friend (Where do you think all those planes from overseas went when we closed our borders on 9/11/2001? Most of the people they took in and sheltered for days were Americans) the same way we might look at China or India?

      Now with most folks that would be a rhetorical question - but you really aren't sure, are you?

        Why? If the work is worth 2 bucks a day, why in god's name would you want to give someone more than that to do it for you? If you think people should have more of your money than their works is worth, why don't you just give it to them for doing nothing?

        Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

                You are not paying anyone to do work for you. You are buying chinese and mexican made goods from a corporation that takes advantage of semi-slave labor, and guess what..they keep the profits!

                  Yeah, so? Why don't you just start your own company making the same stuff and I'll buy it from you so you can keep the profit?

                                I can program very well. I have weak points but I am strongest with algorithms. It feels really good to develop something that can go through a chunk of data and manipulate it or output some type of analysis. My weak point is UI.

                                    I can program very well.

                                    I've seen your code, remember? It is unacceptable and I would fire anyone who turned it in to me for review - and before you decide this is a personal thing - I think Ilion has written some excellent code.

                                    That is old code from when I was learning the basics of .net and OOP.

                                      One resource it requires is someone who can program. Where will you find someone like that?
