Infact I'm all for anything that helps India's economy improve. I own property myself in Bangalore and Madras and eagerly look forward to returning to India sometime soon. The reason I said I was worried was the discussion would turn the heat on, on Indians living here. That's all.

      Nishant S wrote: I can understand Americans worrying cause they are losing jobs. But in his case, he is an Indian working in the US. Indians working in the US will result in job losses to Americans too, just as outsourcing work does Well, that's a relative statement. If you are in America working, even if you are from another country, be it India or anywhere else, some of the money you are making is still being spent here in America. You have to pay rent, buy food and clothes and thus it is helping America prosper. Ramanan is living in the US and has just as good a chance to lose his job as an American, or do you disagree? - Nick Parker

      You are more magnanimous than most on this issue. :) Personally, I can understand the anger and frustration that native americans have towards outsourcing (and towards foreign workers in the US ).

        No its allrite. I always keep picking on people for not being patriotic. Glad to see I'm not alone. :) "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

Hi Kant, That's fine that you feel worried, but why should you be scared of returning to India? Is India so unbearable to return to after life in a 1st world country? BTW, my question is more out of curiosity than because of any specific views I have on this subject :-)

                  Interesting argument. Try giving that to the INS :-D "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

The fact that some of us work in cultures that do not respond to those efforts and their logic does not diminish the quality of your observations. :-D -pete

                                Let's outsource baseball, if it's good for us then why not those guys? After attending the Rangers/Yankees game last night I was struck with the thought that with all that major league teams have to go through to keep the talent happy, Major League Baseball is ripe for a bit of outsourcing. Oh sure just checking all of the international flavored names on both teams makes it sound like the teams have already considered this. Watching Derek Jeeter hit what should have been a basehit, and then lollygag down the first base line only to be tagged out made those sitting around me contemplate whether he was waiting for his limo to come pick him up and drive him down. Have ball players reached their limit? For years I have preferred going to minor league games and college games because the kids have got heart. With out all that money getting in the way America's favorite passtime gets on with being a darn nice way to spend a few hours. If the rest of corporate America is any indication then Baseball should be following suit. That's right let's see Derek Jeeter get traded to the Indian Cricket League and get some hardworking ball players (about 1.2 million for what he's getting paid) in here to give us our game back.
