I think you posted this same kind of response in my other thread about incompetent people.

This is a job. He was hired exactly to do the work that he is unable to do. He went to school for eight years in order to train for this.

And, no, I'm not going to simply let it fester. I'm planning on, when I explain something of significance to him, have him explain it to me to make sure that he actually has the grasp that he says he does on the subject matter.

The fact of the matter is, these are things he should know before joining a software development company. I shouldn't be having to teach him these things. These are basic skills that anyone in a professional field should have.

But, of course, you're going to assume that, even when you're 28, you should be expected to have the same skillset as a five-year-old, because it's easier to shrug off responsibility for yourself and let others bear you as their burden.

Talk about making the problem worse...

He's a ****ing "nerd". This is his ****ing job. Shut your damn trap and stop spewing your ignorant idiocy simply because you can't get yourself a job above moving boxes at the local UPS center.

What do you mean?

This thread is already pretty dead. Isn't corpse thieving sorta your deal?

I think you posted the same reply in your other thread. Where you were this ultimate nerdgeek-king god, HOW DARE THE UNWASHED PEASANTS APPROACH THEE.

This thread is significantly more racist though.

If you can't do what you've been hired to do, get the **** out of the field. You're dragging the rest of us down.

Well, I work with a guy who's from Pakistan, and he hates people from India. Like - pure hate. It's funny how if I said the same things, I'd be a flat out racist. When he says it, it strikes conversation and discussion because he has national reasons for his dislike and thus no one calls him racist.



It's kind of like how people made out that Sean Taylor's (Redskins *Damn, that's racist!*) murder was being racially slanted because of his past...because he was black. They felt if he had been white no one would have said anything about his past.

D:

Our society is so politically correct...

No, Wolfy's kind of right. It's not just one anecdotal experience, either. Indian CS/SE students seem to always fail at any kind of critical thinking.

Please don't quote Rob's posts. It defeats the purpose of having him blocked.

Ironically this is because everyone is slightly racist against and therefore doesn't take his seriously.

Santa can't even say "ho ho ho" or be fat any more.

Which is why I switched majors

You need to watch more cricket then.

We have a few indians in IT at my work, some of them are quite bright cookies. I think most of them have been over here for years though.

Uh, did Rob get banned for things in this thread?

I honestly can't see why he should be banned for 2 weeks over this.

Don't mess with Wolfy's threads?

You aren't the person who banned him

Wow Avenger, your ability to point the obvious is truly inspiring. Did you have to take classes for that, or are you just naturally talented?

Your name is Steven.

(take that, Avenger! ;))

Can't infer anything more from my simple post? I'm disappointed.

You obviously miss my point.

I apologize, sometimes I forget that simpletons often fail to see anything but the apparent sarcasm.

If he is as new as you say he is.. maybe you just need to give him some time to get comfortable.. I know when I first started the job I'm at now I did some pretty dumb things and asked about some pretty stupid queries but once I got comfortable I felt a lot better about what I was doing.

Wolfy tends to do that. I've seen him do it before.

There exists a difference between giving an opposing view and repeating the same idiocy over and over again.

I think that we need SMOCK! in here to collaborate

Haha, he does that in basically every thread, and us lowly non-mods are all supposed to deal with that.

He's just doing what he always does, and I don't think he crossed some kind of line here.

Wolfy's just pissy because rob called him on blatant racism.

However, I've learned to stay away from wolfy's threads--he can be almost as bad as blujay at times. Just let him rant and rave about nothing guys. Someone has to now that THRAWN's gone.

**** DA COPS

AND INDIANS

Rob had it coming.

Uh, sorry for sending this thread to hell, guys.

I suck.

Except I specifically mentioned that this has nothing to do with race. Multiple times.

Let's all just get along.

Which automatically means it's true.

Sounds like my uncle, who says black people (or in his words, "******s") are inherently lazy and by evolution are worse human beings than we are ("LOOK AT AFRICA"), and yet claims to not be racist.

To which I say...lolwut

THANK YOU COME AGAIN

yoshi: the very first sentence of the OP says its a thread about people of a certain nationality, not ethnicity. in fact, hes stated that people of the same ethnicity raised in a different nation are not like what he is describing. its not racism to dislike a nation. it is a prejudice against that nationality, but it isnt racism.

in fact, i think everyone would benefit from re-reading the definition of racism.

nowhere in any of those definitions does it mention prejudice against a nationality. it say race. it means race. look that definition up yourself.

Hey, congratulations. "Black people" are a race. "People from the nation of India" refers to people from a certain county. But you've obviously spent a lot of time reading the thread without jumping to conclusions, so this post is completely unnecessary.

So now it's a question whether Rob crossed the line, or Wolfy. muhar

So does 'Damn Mexicans'.

Question here, not trying to be argumentative or anything, but I don't understand why it's okay to bash a nationality and not a race. Someone care to clue me in?

My point exactly.

Nationality isn't an inherent trait?

I think everyone who is saying anything about this being racism is missing a very important point. The generalization "I hate Indians" is a pretty strong statement that likely doesn't reflect true hatred. What Wolfy is complaining about is a cultural and social problem with the education system that Indian people go through when living in India.

Everybody complains and says, "I hate stupid people," especially when those people impede them doing their work. The only difference here is the fact that Wolfy can substantiate WHY the guy is stupid in the first place. It's not the dude's fault... It's the environment in which he learned. He was TAUGHT not to learn and retain information.

The fact that Indian people share a race with their nationality is unfortunate... You wouldn't call it racist if somebody said, "I hate Americans"

Okay and your proof of this is where??

It's absurd to say that India's schools and culture have a big gaping flaw based on a few anecdotes from someone you don't even know personally.

And Bobbert: come on. People can't just up and move out of the country. It's not something you can bash them for.
