SouthernBelleVA,

I don’t recall anyone disagreeing with Paul on the education. Yes we have great medical schools, and science programs and business schools, etc.

But foreigners come here to go to school as part of their over-all education, which includes living and working abroad and among other cultures. The U.S. is not the only place these foreigners choose to live and go to school.

We are really a narcissistic to think that our schools are any better than other countries. Going to school abroad understanding other culture first-hand is as much a part of a foreigners education as being highly skillfully trained.

I didn’t say ours was the best, just that a lot of people do come here from other countries to get their education. It doesn’t happen as much now as it did in the past when Brito attended college, but it does happen quite often. And I am aware of the kids that come here on work visas as park of their extended education as we employee about 500 each year on an international program our company started about 8 years ago. In some cases, sad to say, these kids are harder working than those from the U.S. We employee kids from about any country you can name (no, I don’t mean EVERY country, but many).

Thanks for your input

Oppss, make that “part”, not “park”, lol

To Rick Martin-
The Molon Coors Company is more than 50% controlled by the Molson Family and Shareholders making it technically foreign owned and controlled.

SABMiller is foreign owned and traded on the London exchange….

AB now owned by InBev

Largest American owned Brewery is D.G. Yuengling out of Pottsville PA and regionally distributed on the East coast. It is also family owned and America’s Oldest Brewery, operating since 1829.

Support American owned Companies when and where you can….. Sam Adams, Pabst or Boulevard!!!

Paul, these HB1 university professors are not brought here for the specific purpose of trianing Americans to be highly skilled. These ones you speak about are brought here and they follow the program set in place here.

I was thinking more in terms of hands-on training, more technical training.

Also, too many of us know first hand that high tech workers are being replaced by foreigners with HB1 visas. This is a problem. Who are you, spinning these falsities?

Paul, let’s just agree to disagree. Leaders with your thinking and corporate heads who have brain washed employees to think as you do are the reason America finds itself where we are at.

I bet you think that the economy is not going to fall also.

What is America? America began as the land of opportunity, a land which fought to become a free country where people from all over the globe could find prosperity. If this is a true statement, then what has changed?

Look at this with open eyes, both names of the company’s founders, “Anheuser-Busch” orginate from Europe!

I think that we as Americans should take a good hard look at our historic roots and wake up to the actual concept upon which our fathers fought for, and died for, “we the decendents” need to keep the guard and hold a vigilant candle focused on where our fore-fathers actually stood when our GREAT country was founded.

Those who of you who think that globalization has been great for this country and that everything is just fine with our economy should vote for John McCain because these are the things that his top advisors state, they are in step and marching to the same beat as President Bush:

They think:

“We have sort of become a nation of whiners”.

“What you’re experiencing is just a “mental recession.”

Worried about losing your house to foreclosure? Can’t pay bills on time—or at all? Lost a job or can’t find another one that actually pays a wage you and your family can live on? That’s right. The mortgage nightmares, credit card debt, jobs without health care or retirement security, the college education you can’t afford for your kids—it’s all a state of mind.

As reported in the attached report:

Voting for McCain is nothing more than voting in the Bush regime.

John McCain revealed to working class families and the blue-collar worker.

Hi,
Living in Belgium and working direct with Inbev (Leuven) I can assure you, all things the unions and local villages(were a stack is)are afraid for is a fact. Breweries will get closed, jobs transferred to low wage countries and so on.
They make a lot of money with the old structure of Interbrew, But the Brazilian Ambev way of working, is even more profitable. Squeeze you’re employees to the max, no connections with the local cultural life.

Sad to see another piece of the USA sold off. Maybe we should just put a big FOR SALE sign on Washington.

Here’s a question: Several years ago wasn’t there a battle over weather or not Anheuser-Busch could add the American Eagle to thier logo? One that that had Anheuser-Busch proving thier american ownership before being allowed to incorporate the Eagle in thier logo?

So is IN-BEV going to be allowed to retain use of the American Eagle in the logo? Is more than a business being sold here…is the Icon of American freedom also being sold? Does IN-BEV now own the Great American Eagle logo TOO?!?!?!
