We in the West should check on everything before purchasing. THe only way to get the greedy outsourcing corporations in line again is by punitary shopping.

I don't see any reason to become annoyed with this.

Do you care if your waiter thinks he's smarter than you?

He's a waiter! If he's is actually smarter than you let him get a real job.

Meanwhile, he takes the order, he brings the food, he gets a tip. What his fantasy life is I could care less.

What is your problem with outsourcing? It allows a company to make better use of limited resources by buying highly educated labor at a bargain price to the company and at a very good wage (for their country) for the people doing the work.

Dim witted AMERICANS??? Then how come it took talking to FIVE of you buggers to help me fix a networking problem???

Pompous gits.

Typical Indian arrogance. No surprise that a good majority of them subscribe to these views. I became used to it at work.

My, my, article hit a nerve did it? All that ranting about terrible Indian call center workers whenever there's a thread about outsourcing, and gasp/shock/horror when the mirror is held up and you find out the picture isn't pretty from the other side of the telephone line either...:-)
