You must enjoy those exhibiting higher intellectual trains of thought than your own insulting your intelligence. That's the only reason I can think of for you to spew such close-minded, frankly ****-faced bull****.

"der Wienerschnitzel" has ****ing nothing to do with wiener schnitzel or Germans!! It's a typical ****ing American bastardization of a foreign word.
"Wiener schnitzel" is an ****ing Austrian recipe & is as German as Seet & Sour Cat.
You take veal cutlets...or pork for you ***gots...pound it 1/4" thin, egg it, bread it, and fry it.
Serve with potato or speatzel side dish & garnish with lemon wedge.
Yes, I'm from Austrian lineage.

I completely agree about the highly educated people here, and that is my #1 problem with America today. As I said before, America has gotten lazy. If we are to succeed in this new world, we have to be willing to work hard to become leaders again. This problem is a opprotunity we have and should use it to our advantage. Instead of whining about losing jobs, get out there and get a education!

Sure, his name definitely isn't 'keith' like he may claim, but that is no reason to morph your stupidity into some racial battle.
Outsourcing is a problem, but there are better, more effective ways to address it.

I said that although it's problem and something I could never do, it's must be expected or else those Outsourcing wouldn't bother educating their staff with more "comfortable" accents and in western culture. Think about it. Otherwise the employees would sound like Abu with the customers from doped-up neutral societies taking everything in stride. What world do you live in because I want to move there.
The fact they know it's going to be an issue with some callers shows that it's not only a problem with those already frustrated -and- ignorant people calling, but with outsourcing in itself.

Yeah, it sure sounds impressive to say that 200 million Americans can't write code, but what about the almost 2 billion Asians that can't?

If we wanted to be like France, we'd let them all die of heatstroke in the next heat wave.

You really can't see the glaring difference? In one situation, the person you are directing the comments at personally did something to upset you, and the other the person is there to assist you. Yeah, both involve gereralizations, but only one person actually deserves to hear them, if one is so inclined to express them.

Computers, manufacturing technology, "modern management," the internal combustion engine, cars and bicycles, civil engineering, electricity, radio, physics and nuclear energy, medicine, satellite technology, etc...shall I go on?
Not sure if you posted that seriously, but if you did, you need serious help.
I'm curious who brainwashed you.

Fixed. Ignorance leads to paranoia, paranoia is never a result of knowledge.

My comment is true especially in this context. It's like on the animal shows...the only dudes that handle deadly snakes are the ones that know the most about them, and none of them die doing it. They aren't paranoid that the snake will bite them. But the people who know relatively nothing about the snakes are deathly paranoid/afraid of them. Now substitute 'the world' for 'the snake' and 'helladumb' for 'people who know relatively nothing'.
