As long as it's just a part, it's ok. Some stuff can be done better over there without much damage here.

Their culture over there will still stop them from being too much of a threat for awhile.

Wherever did you get the idea to associate India with "educated slave labor"?

Indians are very difficult to work with. They say, "Yes, yes, I understand, I understand." Then go off and do what they darn well please, regardless of what you've told them to do, all the while smiling and telling you "Of course, of course, we'll do it your way." They AREN'T westerners and they DON'T think like we do.

Although I understand the financial reasons that companies are moving overseas, it still isn't right.

Why don't they didn't they give the American worker the alternative of taking less money (wages) and keep themselves working and the companies here in the states? Rather than just up and moving all are part of the businesses.

Do they think that we would cut our own throats and say no? Or maybe they already have and the American worker said "No, I won't take less to keep the company here, I'll go on welfare or unemployment first."
