Hmm, how about this one?
It will do. Can we get it added to the menu?
Not that the menu shows up when I hit "Reply" or "Reply With Quote" since we took the Great Leap Forward with the new format.......
Hit "Go Advanced" under the reply box.
India is still the very definition of a third world country. Overwhelming illiteracy. Overwhelming poverty. Overwhelming corruption in their legal system. Stir in an active Marxist rebellion, and you've got quite the third world stew.Stupid, but I wouldn't call India a third world country.
Largest countries? Yes. Industrialized? No. Best educated, no. India still has a literacy rate of only 61%: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_literacy_rateWell it is one of the largest industrialized countries in the world with perhaps the best educated population.
Thanks, both of you.
Is this otherwise unnecessary step a "feature benefit?"

Yes, India has a growing middle class and a core of very well educated people. But the folks that you deal with in Bangalore are not representative of the country as a whole. It is still largely an agrarian society, made up of impoverished farmers who live and farm today much the same as they did in the 1800s.
Folks that work in call centers in India are part of the well educated middle class minority. You're not talking to an illiterate, impoverished peasant in a rural village.Where do the folks fall into that keep calling my damn cell phone? I've literally turned down jobs because I can't understand their "Bedeeep bedeeeep bedeeeep"

Your Euro-centric, jingoistic and myopic world view has rendered you incapable of comprehending the subtle grace and glory of other cultures..........
Celebratory gunfire was a big problem in Bosnia when I was there. The local cops used to drive up to the front gate of our base and tell us where and when the weddings, parties were going on in our sector. Half the nights it sounded like we were under attack. One day when I was NCOIC at the front gate I heard AK gunfire very close. I looked out the window of the guard shack and this Bosnian was standing across the street firing his AK into the air and waving at us. After a few automatic weapons were leveled at him I walked over to him w/my interpreter to find out what the hell he was doing. He was shitfaced and having a little fun w/his AK.
