WHAT?! Where did you go to college ? - I'll be sure to not let my kids go there. The Econ department should be ashamed of themselves. Adam Smith is rolling in his grave.

And just where is Oracle's immorality anyway? You haven't provided ONE SINGLE SHRED OF PROOF that Oracle is underpaying its employees, and that there is anything unusual, let alone immoral, about its hiring practices.

Oracle has some different ideas, maybe like:

1. Bumping up their stock value.
2. Gaining market share.

THESE ARE __GOOD__ THINGS, in spite of the current PC belief that a profit motive is evil.

You have shown that you while you may claim to understand the free market, you have not a discernable clue as to why it functions.

This statement make no sense. It was YOU that made the claim that they were underpaid. I asked for proof. You have none. Until you can show that they prefer to hire Indians over Americans, then you have NO ARGUMENT!

It seems to me that you're using the 'ol "make an unfounded statement enough times and people will believe it" approach.

Once again, this makes no sense. Do you care to expand, or are you just trying to enflame this discussion even further?

So vote them out of office. Its a free country, at least until pseudo-Nazis like yourself get in power. When this happens, it will be time for me to move elsewhere.
