Ok... I'm REALLY tired of hearing this crap about how much better India and China are than the US of A... Ok? I get bombarded every friggin day about how we are going to be losing major industries to China and India and how we the US of A will end up being a third world country in just a few short years.
First ... This is BULLCRAP!! And I will take a few minutes of my very valuable time to discuss this with you few unfortunate souls reading my blog at 4 am.
We are inundated with how stupid and unprepared all our kids are out of high school going into college and how we will end up being second class to India and China.
Here are a few irrefutable points to mull over.
1. I have yet to meet ANY person who is heading over to India or China to open an Office as a Doctor, Dentist, Veterinarian, engineer, etc, etc because he / she can make more money in India or China.
2. I have never heard of a break through Medication discovered in India or China.... or even Russia, Mexico or Canada for that matter.....
3. I have yet to see an industry changing surgical procedure or mathematical formula that was credited with an Indian or Chinese discoverer. OK Russia had an eye surgeon that was cool.
4. When we have a mad Exodus of Physicians and intellectuals (Engineers, Mathematicians, Scientists) going over to India or China and they start standing in line waiting for H1 Visas to get into that country to be an indentured servant for 5 years ... Let me know because we might have 20 more years before we have a trend.
5. I have never heard of 1 person who sells everything to go to the promised land of India , China, Mexico, or Russia to live the good life and leave the squalor of America. Not 1!!
6. Bill Gates did not even graduate from college.... !!! He was a dumb, stupid retro bate according to some new criteria now that says you have to have a masters degree or better to amount to anything.
7. Every day I hear about all the top colleges in India, China and Russia that students are lining up to get into... So much so that Brigham Young University, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, USC, UCLA, The Ivy league in general, the Pac 10, Big 10, SEC, ACC etc etc. Colleges don't even compare. Give me a break. you can get a better education at a community college than most non USA Colleges.
8. All the rich Saudi kids are going to India and China now to study, computer science, engineering, medicine etc. ( Yeah right .... Dream on brother.... ).
9. The Global economy is reacting to market trends in India. Hmmm. Whats the name of their stock market? London is Footsie, France is CAC, I know Hong Kong... Yang see or what ever... Never heard of the Indian Stock Market and all the earth shattering IPO's going on over there.
10. When will Europe be concerned that an Indian in India, can't buy a house due to a credit crunch or a housing market fluctuation???... Give me a break!!...
11. The world shudders when India and China have off years at the hectic Christmas shopping season over there... (Yeah right!!)

14. The Indian film industry just blows away all American films and grosses more than any American Film Company. (Actually insert any American industry and you get the same question)
15. I'm a China man In China and I call my electronic gadget support desk and get some hayseed in the middle of Alabama who trys to answer my question but I can't understand them due to their outsourcing accent.
16. That Indian Software conglomerate ______, which I hate so much, gets another $200.oo out of me so I can buy their latest operating system, upgrade or newest gadget... ( Insert favorite Indian or Chinese company).
17. Hot American Women are marrying all these Filthy Rich Indian and Chinese men and are moving to India and China to raise passels of kids because they are such hot catches ....
18. Business news channels are now broadcasting 24 hour a day and 365 days per year from China and India....
19. The hottest sports car is made in India and the most admired CEO is a Chinese CEO of a company that is Chinese founded, funded and deeply rooted in the business history of China. (And it does not have it's root in slavery... etc.)
20. Paris Hilton moves to China or India to be with the cool hip people.
21. India and China are constantly bailing our ass out of natural disasters like Hurricanes,( tsunami's) and earthquakes... Because we are too dumb to even train a cadaver dog....

23. The international jet set flocks to China and India to Ski, Gamble and relax at their million dollar villas for a few weeks.
24. More Billionaires and Millionaires are being made every day in China and India than the good old US of A....

All fired up I see!!! Way to go!!! There are some goood doctors FROM India ( I did say FROM) as they have moved to America!
i think you're using the term "irrefutable" very loosely.
how do you think the United States GOT to be so great? possibly because people from other countries came over here and brought their intelligence and knowledge?
why are people so threatened by countries like China and India? is it because they can't possibly imagine a country other than the United States inventing something useful? Is it because they believe that everyone else, especially places like China and India, is lower class?
no doubt many people from other countries dream about coming to America and making a better life for themselves. But it's also the cold, hard truth that when they get here, they find out that in order to live among some people here, they'd better develop a VERY thick skin.
I think you are mistaken, It is true that there are good universities in US, and all that you claim, but you shouldn't take under estimate things, Most of teh countries have strong immigration policies that minimise the forgine students, but sure it is cheaper than the amrican education and still world class.
DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE ANYONE.....
AND TAKE A LOOK AT WHO IS STUDYING IN THOSE UNIVERSITIES...you will have an idea
