Paul's paragraph: Forget about manufacturing jobs-it is contrary to capitalism of maximizing your, mine and other stockholders. Lower wage, and fringes go to where the supply of low wage/fringe earners are located, profits are maximized and we make the most money even as stockholders. Ross Parow (sp) was correct when he stated, "there will be a great sucking sound to Mexico. However, he did not figure China, India and Africa would come into the equation. Without manufacturing we will have to issue tremendous number of "green cards" to residents of other countries to get the high skill sets needed to perform the jobs. And, then they will return to their own countries.

Paul's advice: notice that the language was written as one paragraph, not separated outside of the paragraph. Read as a whole paragraph and you should understand.

Paul, i very seldom ever correct anyone's spelling or grammar. the reason i don't is because everyone makes mistakes, including me. but your mistakes are numerous and you've tried to imply that i don't know how to read, by telling me to re-read your paragraph.

i accorded you the same courtesy as i do everyone else that i have a discussion with here on SI, with my last post to you. i didn't point out the errors in your first question to me. those errors made that question a little difficult to understand.

you asked: but who would bare the blunt of the pain?

it was easy to guess what you meant, but there shouldn't be a need to guess. you had two wrong words by context in your question, 'bare' and 'blunt'. the properly worded question would be:

"but who would bear the brunt of the pain?"

further, you do the same type of thing in other posts to me. yet when you post to others you don't make near the number of mistakes. i'm not sure why that is.

so here's the deal. if anyone can make logical sense of your paragraph, and others here agree that it makes sense, i'll quit posting on this thread. you don't have to do anything if i win. there's no penalty for you. you can continue posting here without any objection from me. all you have to do is stay out of it. let someone else try to make sense of it. i'll take the full risk. that's how confident i am that no one can make sense of your paragraph.

any english majors out there that want to take a stab at it?
