Hi, no, we (myself and my friends) aren't lazy. Well, only on the weekends, lol. I think George isn't targeting anyone specifically, especially here as abstractors CAN'T be lazy. My original post was geared towards the negative attitudes and how they affect the industry and may attribute to outsourcing of services to other nations. I do agree with George though that many people don't care about their industries while other countries live to work. It isn't necessarily stating we are a bad nation, nor lazy, but rather we have much much more to rely on and take many things for granted. We are spoiled, simple as that while India has some of the poorest civilizations in the world right outside of their elaborate commerce section. I mean, American's are even hiring Indians as personal assistants!! They work 65 hours per week, answer calls, set appointments, everything without physically being next to the person. As a business owner (which you all are), can't you see why companies do this? It kills the vendor (you), yes; but helps their internal employees as their is more money to support salaries and benefits due to the small salaries the outsourcers receive. I don't agree with taking jobs away from Americans, but face the facts that some Americans don't take them as seriously or put as much effort into it as a poor nation does. It is just the poor countries ethics as they have struggled to find shelter and food since the beginning. I have visited their when I was in school, you wouldn't believe your eyes. They certainly do not take one thing for granted...

Thanks for including me :)
