Sell Someone Else's Book On Lulu!

Albert Schueller writes "Lulu is a place where authors can self-publish their books. It's a nice response to exorbitant college textbook prices. In an interesting twist, looks like you might be able to get away with selling other people's books on Lulu and reap a tidy profit. The Lulu offering Calculus Twirly Exponentials by Dave Stuart appears to be simply a high quality scan of the much more well-known, and expensive, Calculus: Early Transcendentals 6th ed. by James Stewart. Compare the preview images available for each at Lulu and Amazon respectively."

    Not true.

    Understand this:

    The Spaniards where the first to get to America.

    They named all of this beautiful continent "America" after an Italian explorer that was the first to make reliable maps of the region (He was called Amerigo Vespucci).

    "America" refered to ALL of the western hemisphere, both North and South America.

    Ask anyone in South America, we all consider ourselves "Americans". There are countless songs and other cultural productions, created between April 25 of 1507 - August 17 2010 in South America that refer to its inhabitants as "Americans". Everything from Folk songs written 450 years ago, to metal songs written yesterday.

    Your country stole the name, and made you all believe that they came up with it.

    Why do you think your country is named the united states OF America? Because it is a bunch of states that are within a bigger place called America. That's fucking why.
