Reply #57: that's quite a leap.

Treating other people with the SAME concern that we treat people in this country is not "hating" anyone.

There's nothing hateful in being decent to a working class person no matter what their nationality is, or in understanding why they might not want to be a prostitute.

I have a major problem with the attitude that we'd rather have those brown foreign women work as prostitutes than a good American.

I don't know the class or situation of the people on the other end of the phone when I call tech support. It's good to keep it in perspective. I hate thinking how spoiled we sound when we're pissed off cause they used a checklist, when the person on the other end might be dealing with some chronic illness that one of our companies caused, or dealing with a sick child, or worse.

The fact is, I believe US corporations and policies have probably done a hell of a lot more damage to India than their tech support is doing to us.
