I just was saying that it wasn't exactly true that he wasn't shipping jobs over. Every time you buy something made somewhere else, China, Malaysia, India you are contributing money to that country. Sure they don't make a huge wage, but where would they be with out that income? It may suck that some people aren't finding jobs, but in the long run, what's best for the world is best for all of us. I didn't say that was a good or bad thing. Um, if you notice the post after, I am delivering a monitor. -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Tom Penney Sent: Wednesday, March 31, 2004 10:17 AM To: TCLUG Mailing List Subject: RE: [TCLUG] OT: Need monitors, mice, printers On Wed, 2004-03-31 at 09:50, Ben Neigebauer wrote: > Actually, you are shipping the pre-cursors to the jobs over there. > > You can't learn to program well without computers. So you are saying keep them poor and uniformed so that can't compete? I say give people the means to help themselves and the world will be a better place. People deserve to live an environment where they can be productive. If our junk can help make that happen I say do it. Where they live does not matter. I don't mean to pick on you, most people here feel the way you do, I just don't agree. I wish I had some monitors, mice, printers but I don't, sorry. -- Tom Penney <blots at visi.com> _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
