Yikes!
Sounds like a bit of sour grapes here.
Bandweller; Is this like calling Americans Yanks? Is saying English disrespectful? BTW, I have no qualms about Brits calling me a Yank.
I guess the main question to the "They stole this or that from us" theme here is "What did the patent courts say about all this technology stolen from afar?"
Is the atmosphere or environment in Europe not friendly to inventiveness or entrepreneurial expression? If not, come on over here and give it your best shot then!
I recall a CEO once saying when they asked him about hiring minorities or woman; "Any business wanting to make money could care less about a person's gender or skin color as long as they were the best. In fact, if the best was green with antennas protruding from it's head then I'd be a fool not to hire "it" and my shareholders should rightfully have me fired!"
(Lots of applause at that meeting)
Is the British and/or Europeon socialist mindset holding back good people and ideas? Or is is it simply the "Not for profit" govt aviation engineers are not motivated enough?
Cheers! (I'm trying)
