American politics

[Phone]

Just so you know the UK/EU does not have a corner on political idiots (or simple mistakes).

 

To show her support for American workers, President Obama's labor secretary, Hilda Solis, has junked the standard black limo and purchased a new Chevrolet Equinox to ride around Washington in. The problem: the crossover SUV is built and assembled in Canada from parts also made in Canada.

I'm sorry mate but I think that the US is THE world leader in political idiots.

Christine O'Donnell, who does not know the First Amendment.

Rick Perry, who thinks that the drought in Texas can be solved by praying to the sky daddy.

Glenn Beck (Google it)

Sarah Palin, enough said.

Michele Bachmann

 

There is a whole raft of absolute nut jobs who think that "Intelligent Design" (Creationism by another name) should be taught alongside evolution in the science classes of public schools.

 

It's time that America woke up and smelt the coffee. China wants your jobs and your position in the world and you are handing both to them on a plate.

Cory,

 

Well, I don't want a political discussion but I do loathe the above mentioned names.

 

What do ya' mean, they "want" our jobs. They "have" our jobs.

 

The only thing we have that is still superioUr is IT. Espically over the UK (I read that somewhere).

India will have all your IT jobs.

Cory,

 

Not sure?

 

"Zero" and "one" are pretty much invented by the Indians. They haven't done much with them yet.

It's a huge mistake to underestimate the competition.

 

India is a Nuclear Power.

India has a Space Program with a Human Spaceflight Program.

 

Today, India exports software and services to nearly 95 countries around the world. The share of North America (U.S. & Canada) in India’s software exports is about 61 per cent. In 1999-2000, more than a third of Fortune 500 companies outsourced their software requirements to India.

 

Have you put some fresh coffee on yet?

Noticed they will pass China in population in the next few years. No underestimation here.

 

I'm old.

Computers:

We invented 'em.

The Americans perfected them.

The Chonese build 'em.

The Indians program them.

Simples !

 

As for politicians, we have penty of idiots ov our own but the American ones are so much more entertaining in their idiocy.

What answer do Creationists or Intelligent Design(ists) give to, ahem, DINOSAURS? Not to mention other fossils... like Phone lol!!! Only kidding

 

I'm at work so my access to the 'net is limited. Would be highly entertaining if someone could find the answer they give. Not got Youtube either so vid links won't help me (but cool for others and for when I get home).
