I would agree with your point. But, while people answer,they should not
take some one for a task and also blame one whole country and pour all
outrage on some one.While real answer matters , moving to pin pointing
mistakes is only going to make it offtopic and because of this, you
wont even feel like understanding people in right way, when they are
impolite to you.Anyway in this case,it does not seem to be a small
sucking , given the fact , somany people out there pouring outrage
against low cost offshoring in this single thread!
