just 'coz one person of a particular nationality is not good, why does the whole nationality need to be condemned?

tht hypocrisy..

xdude

i think it really depends on 2 factors 1. How much do you thing is your worth? 2. What kind of company are you working with.. If you bring some unique skills to the plate, then irrespective of your nationality you should be paid a salary which you really deserve. However if the ppl from certain nati...

In US, first all the bankers should be put in jail for putting the world in this mess

xdude

does it mean tht if i drink in a bar, i'm safe legally... 'coz it earns the govt. some taxes.
but the moment i step out of the bar, i'm getting into illegal activities?

n serious enough to be put in jail?

xdude

in desert safari, we dance n drink as well..
i'm sure tht piece of land in the desert is not designated as area where alcohol is served legally..

so can i expect tht on the way back frm desert safari, instead of beingg dropped home, we all will be taken to the police station?

the remaining ones are busy getting their bonuses paid through the bail out money from the tax payers!!

I think DesertdudeShj gave a very decent accounting breakdown. Read his post. Hence my sarcasm, as many expats from the subcontinent are highly price conscious to the extent of being scraping miserly. And this is not because they are not earning well, trust me many are, but the small town mentality...
