Outsourcing: Is It Right or Wrong?

creativedreamweaver @creativedreamweaver (7297) • United States 27 Apr 07

I don't know about you, but every time I want to get help with the computer or other devices, I place a call to a 1-800#. On the other end a foreign sounding voice answers. I know this person has no idea about where I'm at. He has...

Doomsayer I don't believe that outsourcing is wrong, as long as the foreigners are trained competently. I've had encounters with foreign tech staffers who are rather deft with computers, and solved my problem in good time. Conversely, I've also found staffers who...

Selfishness- A bad trait! Positive selfishness is not bad ... my friend told me.

aliasad @aliasad (1567) • Pakistan 27 Apr 07

Hi friends. I feel selfishness a bad trait and one who is selfish can never be sincere to others. I believe that eversince the world created, selfishness is there. Everybody, definitely has a right to progress, to elevate itself...

Doomsayer Well, it's interesting that you should bring that up. You, see, any non-Christian worldview believes in a monster- Frankenstein. The Christians believe in a different monster- Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde. You see, the Frankenstein adherents state that...

Are the illegal immirgants "illegal?"

swapw07 @swapw07 (247) • United States 19 Apr 07

They are protesting the streets for their rights, they are saying that they're not terrorist. While these facts are all true, they're still illegal...isn't it? Do law these days mean anything?

Doomsayer Let's frame it this way: If I go down to Wal-Mart, and decided to steal something off the shelf, they'd arrest me and say, "That's illegal, boy, we're gonna have to throw your butt in jail." So why do we allow the illegals to just keep on flooding in?...

Doomsayer Well, I would definitely call the technology of Naruto "steampunk." See, in the episode where they must return a lost cat to its owner, the team is seen using radio headsets or walkie-talkies. After Gaara's team leaves the Forest of Death, we see a video...

When people are talking during a show, do you ask them to be quiet?

vwlssknght @vwlssknght (653) • United States 13 Apr 07

I always chicken out when it comes to asking people to stop talking during a show. What I do to avoid being put in such a position is go to the matinee, when it's just me and a bunch of older folks. Saturday nights, the best time...

Doomsayer One of my pet peeves is when someone screams to his buddy in the middle of a show, "DID YOU SEE THAT?" I turn to them and say, "No, you idiot, I paid six bucks to come to the theater to stare at the floor!" Acting like nobody else is there is just stupid, and...

My daughters teacher is taking it too far!

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 12 Apr 07

My daughter is in 5th grade, honor student and overall intelligent kid. She has this science teacher who is a little unconventional when it comes to stating his personal views to his students. He doesn't believe in watching TV,...

Doomsayer This teacher is taking it wayyyy too far. If I were you, I would alert the school board, as I'm almost positive that such teachers can be placed on suspension, fired, or have their license revoked. Really, I probably have similar, if less extreme, views to...

Why I hate Illegal Immigrants

Smith2028 @Smith2028 (797) • United States 6 Apr 07

My feelings on illegals is well documented and it is a position I will never apologize for. Here is another reason. In Virginia Beach (MY HOME CITY) an illegal immigrant hit and killed 2 teens this week. Not only was he...

Doomsayer Yeah, I live in Santa Maria, and I see these damned illegals every day, clogging up our schools, our hospitals, everything! Illegal immigrants need to be flushed out, and our violent crime rates have shot up in the last few years. Why? BECAUSE OF THE ILLEGALS!...

Doomsayer I am of the opinion that God made the chicken, fully formed, and it then laid eggs. Let's say, hypothetically, that an egg just appears. Poof, it's here, now what do we do with it? Without its chicken mother to sit on it and warm it, it will die. Therefore,...

Doomsayer Well, obviously. They would prefer three long, well-written posts as opposed to twenty one-liners. That' the way it goes, they want it to be actual discussion as opposed to spam.

Can You Please explain to me why TV screen is cut

Grandmaof2 @Grandmaof2 (7579) • Canada 13 Apr 07

I'm not a big TV fan but my husband does watch a lot of T.V. and I have noticed on some movies the screen is not a full screen. We have a 36 inch TV and there's a big black space on the top and the bottom of the screen. So in...

Doomsayer Oh, that's intentional. It's called a widescreen format, and some DVDs come with it. Oftentimes, the widescreen (which is meant to be seen on wide-screen TVs, and thus looks odd on your standard set) and the fullscreen (which is what you're used to.)...

Is there any connection between your myLot rating and the payment you get?

Manick @a_manick (879) • India 13 Apr 07

Doomsayer I think that that's part of it, but you also have to consider that the myLot mathematicians have done many, many hours constructing their algorithm. So, it's not only how many times you post, but whether the topics that you made got any responses, how many...

Doomsayer When I saw Happy Feet, I walked in with a look of eager expectation on my face, glad that I was going to see what looked like it was going to be an awesome movie. I walked out with a look of, "What the?" all over my face. For about the first half of the...
