I just wish I could remember where I saw it?, it was only a few days ago - it might have been in one of my daughters maths books?, as she's currently doing her GCSE exams.

I don't mind them being in our country, better life, blah blah blah but I have the same belief about all minority groups, let me explain, I live in Texas where as we speak whites are becoming the minority because of all the mexicans...no big deal you might think, I hang out with some they're cool but the problem comes when most of them can't speak english or communicate with anyone but their own racial group. I work in a grocery store, I'm a booth clerk so I have to cash checks for people all day long 85% are mexicans hardly any have any form of ID and can't understand what your saying, today a man tried to get a "mail in cash rebate" cashed... I just stared at him like "you're joking right" but this leads me to my point there are also indian (like from india) and chinese people that come in for some reason or another and no one there can understand what the hell they are saying. If they're going to come to our country they at least need to make an effort to learn our primary language and whats even sadder to me is the ones that actually know some english only use it to insult you or something but then when you try to communicate they act "dumb" and pretend they don't understand you. So I'm pretty much against immigration and all that...sorry I just felt that I needed to let my opinion be known

I like Bill Gates' quote: "If you are one in a million in China, there are 1,500 people just like you."

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the
computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up
with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00
cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."


In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release
stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be
driving cars with the following characteristics :-

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash. Twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You
would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off
the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For
some reason you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre such as a left turn would cause your
car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to
reinstall the engine.

5. The oil & the water temperature, and the alternator warning lights
would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation"
warning light.

6. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.

7. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and
refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle,
turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

8. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how
to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the
same manner as the old car.

9. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

10. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable,
five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five
percent of the roads.

possible that its still an actual question though, but translated. i mean comparing the two would be a little difficult if one was written in a language you cant read.
