btw partial quoting can be misleading. Just saying
I always partially quote people and just address a particular sentence or two that I'm replying to. I don't break off sentences midway and I certainly don't do any Michael Moore like tricks.
You cannot think of any recent example of corrupt and morally bankrupt people in the western developed world? No examples of massive amounts of stolen and wasted resources that don't help those of need in the end? Does the western world not have to pull itself of its own hole?

Thanks I was trying to discover this info, it's not easy. So time to buy more AAPL while everyone assumes iPad 2 is doomed
Apple should make a press release letting us know that workers at Apple Japan and contractor´s sites are OK and that manufacturing is up and running. Meanwhile, I´m buying APPL

I'm not claiming that the western, developed world is perfect, far from it. I just think that the level of corruption is far, far greater in many third world countries.

That wouldn't work out so well if it isn't the truth...

Yeah, core meltdowns, reactor breaches, and MOX fuel fires are so overhyped. I bet those guys with the fire hoses struggling to prevent a phreatic explosion in a dark, highly radioactive nuclear plant think it's really over hyped too.
Are you kidding me? They just suffered from the 5th-strongest recorded earthquake (at least since record-keeping began around 1900) and a giant tsunami. You can wait a little longer for your iPad.
What caught my eye, and perhaps more significant in long run
"... advanced ... manufacturing technologies that reside in Japan?
Doubt that refers to $5.00 a day sweat shop laborers working some assembly line
So why aren't we doing that here in USA ?
Oh, forgot ...
Our Nation Public School Systems are 93rd in World in Math and Science
(or something like that)
But our Football and Basketball and Baseball Programs are # 1
(yes, we're Number 1, we're Number 1)
And, we have Star Search - is THE route to Fame and Fortune
(or might hit the Lotto)
Yea, silly Japanese, what do they know
Now, what was that TV channel for March Madness ?

I have hired people with 2 years of college or more + U/S training for medical stuff and they can not do simple area and volume calculations. Worse is when do not understand the concept of showing up on time and have an attitude. Then they quite and claim they got fired and apply for unemployment. It is not everybody, but it is quite common.
Why do you think the free market values Lexus, BMW more than an equivalent GM?
Oh Boo Hoo! I probably should have resisted the impulse to respond. You are either very young or very stupid - probably both. The downturn in math and science coincides with a turning away from what you call "creationism." You probably read it hear first, it is going to get a lot worse.
We are way of topic ... but ... Are you are saying math and science would improve if we taught creationism? Or am I reading your post incorrectly?
I am not young and like to think I'm not stupid but hey that's just my opinion.

The decline of math and science in the US mysteriously coincides with the increase in math and science skills in China, a place not known for teaching of creationism.

Did you know that until about a year ago, an american was the head of design (for 17 years) of BMW? They bought an american design firm outright to take over their car design. Many of the big Japanese car firms also have bought or use american design studios as well. The US is also still the center of automotive engineering.
The proverbial low quality of science training in american schools may be true for people who don't go into technical fields, but we still produce amazing scientists and engineers. People from all over the world come here for access to the best the world has to offer in science and technology training, education, and work opportunities.

Ok but Check out how DESuserIGN is now being partially quoted on this page (Yeah, core meltdowns) , now being taken to mean the reverse of what he actually was intending ... being sarcastic. He is being attacked by someone who in fact thinks as he does but doesn't realize it. The study of blog missunderstannding is a PhD in psychology waiting to be done. Or maybe it has already been done:

haha, well at least I asked politely as I wasn't sure. The spelling dig was a defense reaction to being insulted, my bad.

You nailed it in the last part. We offer the best training but more and more it is students from overseas coming here that are excelling. We need to get more of the home grown students heading the same way. America can be the leader again I am sure.

It's true what you say about the US producing some of the best engineers and scientists in the world and that foreign auto manufacturers use US design firms... but, until recently, that ability sure didn't transfer over into the production end of (on edit) big three made vehicles.
