Welcome to the land of amazingly stupid
What is wrong with Pat Robertson? Can’t he for once shut up or say something logical. I understand that it is his trademark behavior but he is crossing over to the land of amazingly stupid. Well President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would welcome him to the band. (For further details http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/12/14/iran.israel/)

A Different Perspective
I consider myself to be in the IT industry although I hardly contribute to its progress. I have been hanging out with a lot of IT professionals lately and hence thought it would be justified to write about a few of their opinions about various issues:
WBA (Web logic Admin) enters the apartment gingerly on a Friday night and sees WMA (Web methods Admin), VBP (VB Programmer),BB (Bench Boy), DBA (Database Admin) and WBA2 hanging out.
WBA2 to WBA: What kaka, why so late?
WBA: Too much work and the dicks assigned tickets right at 4:45.
WBA2: I thought Jason was working late today, why didn’t they assign the tickets to him?
WBA: Eeh! He hardly knows anything; I guess he was hired because of affirmative action.
WBA to BB: What’s up?
BB: Two bed rooms and a bathroom.
WBA: Joke aa!!!
BB: Yuppers like my interview
DBA: Avunu kaka what happened?
BB: In simple terms – middle man interview, tell no communication skills, I tell I can program, she tell I need talking, programming not important.
WMA: I think she was right being able to speak well in English is a key part of the job.
BB: But I’m a programmer and isn’t that what I should be focusing on.
WMA: But what about communicating your thoughts and ideas?
BB: English is not the only language in the world is it?
WMA: Well we are in the US
VBP: What about rest of the world isn’t English being imposed on everybody?
WBA2: That is true
WBA: If you guys feel so strongly about this issue why come to this country and speak in English?
VBP: You are taking an extreme stance but we are merely questioning the concept of adapting English as a common language. We are willing to work with the system but we think would it not be advisable to adapt Chinese as “The business language” since it is spoken by the most number of people in the world?
WMA: But English is already established.
BB: All good things have to begin somewhere.
WBA: But don’t you think the change process would face huge obstacles?
DBA: Well at least the ASEAN block can have a different common language right and that would be a decent start.
WMA: I have my doubts about the applicability.
WBA: What about Telugu?
BB: Sounds great
VBP: It will be worse than before none of us can speak decent Telugu, it is a matter of shame but the absolute truth.
WBA2: That is true, we are not good at anything and that is why we are in the IT industry.
