Thread: Student Loans Good or Bad?

I'm in a sustainable engineering class now looking at transportation system differences between USA and Europe. Part of the reason the cost over there is so much higher is because they factor externalities into the cost that they pay at the pump. USA subsidizes everything so we don't pay for any of these externalities at the pump. But they still have a cost that still gets paid, and it gets pushed off on the taxpayers.

No. The publishing company would just call it the Author's Definitive Edition, charge more than original release price, and it would be bought up like crazy. You overestimate Twihards.

Most corn actually goes to beef in the U.S., and really, Brazil is kicking our ass in Ethanol production as they use a form of sugarcane that is easier for them to harvest.

Brazil has been kicking the U.S.´s ass in alot of things...for a while now.

Brazilian women are fantastic, but we have some keepers here as well. I'd bet we have more.

I suppose Brazil exports more cocaine than we do, so they have that.

Sure, of course there are a few keepers in the U.S. Mostly in the south but Brazilian women....hmmmm, no no...only in Eastern Europe do they produce more delicious women.

Cocaine? That´s mostly Bolivia, Peru and Colombia.

Anyone south of the border exports more cocaine than the U.S.
