My observations is that suburbanites who occasionally need to haul but comparatively lightweight items buy SUVs. But the mileage of that author may vary.
Now, if you wanna class hobby farmers into 'suburbanites' maybe....
I live in ranch country. You are mostly incorrect. For MOST OF THE YEAR cattle graze on grass which, last I noted, grew quite naturally in areas such as where I live, which of limited agricultural fertility with relatively small amounts of rainfall, but grows incredibly good grasslands.
For a FEW WEEKS before slaughter they are fattened up with hay and grain.
So, no, this is NOT inefficient.
"Cruelty Free" Last I noted , per Peter Thompkins research, that plants were capable of feeling.
Does not eating beef mean that you're incapable of writing sentences without using silly abbreviations?
And of course, your culture war discussing 'typical poor blue collar types.' Funny , one of the most typical blue collar people I know is probably the most morally uncorruptable. My observation of >30 years of working in white collar fields is that a huge number of white collar workers will do ANYTHING for money as they lack any practical skills for survival whatsoever.
Your tone appears to me to be very contemptuous. This is why I said this. If you did not mean this, sorry, was not trying to "put words in your mouth" but this is what I sensed.
No. You're discussing a particular manifestation of intelligence.
What I am saying is that I know many extremely intelligent people who don't give a rip about what your definition of a manifestation of intelligence is. You clearly have contempt for people who do not think, nor manifest intelligence, like you do.
As I said in another comment, I cannot speak to this. But given that French Jews are leaving in record numbers for Israel, well, heck, I think there is something to the anti-Jew sentiments there.
I am glad to hear that - I've been to Europe but not in recent years. However, I'd say the French Jews who are leaving for Israel might disagree with you.
You know, so-called smart people are awfully stupid. And I'm speaking as someone who has 5 college degrees in math and computer science (with one in English) at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Have you ever TALKED to people who are (say) roofers? A lot of them are pretty damned smart just have no desire to spend their days in a cubicle. While it doesn't take Einstein to do a roof, it does take skills that perhaps even Einstein didn't have.
Your prejudices that such people are somehow less than human - yourself being the ultimate description of humanity - is quite obvious.
Who pushed NAFTA? Clinton, a Democrat. Who pushed TPP? Obama and (H.) Clinton, Democrats.
The Republicans do too, but your precious Demoncrats are NOT your friends either.
Why is it ironic? They're trying to protect domestic industries.
That used to be called 'strategic self interest' in the USA until we decided to commit national suicide.
You are an idiot.
The US is a nation that was born with the idea that rationality matters and that enlightened self interest matters.
The US did sell weapons to our allies during WWII - and GAVE a lot more to them.
If the US is so terrible why is American technology running an awful lot of the world? Yes, other nations compete, quite vigorously.
But your anti USA bravo sierra is just garbage.
Trade deals are NOT skewed in favor of the US, they are skewed in favor of US corporations who, last I noted, employed more people OUTSIDE the US than INSIDE the US.
Really? I do not live in Britain but found it a bit shocking that I had to pay 20p to park for 30 minutes...at a suburban Sainsbury store. When I got as far north as Lincoln that was not true but south of there...yeah. Now I don't have an exhaustive list of places obviously, but..
Here is an example of what goes wrong with bus and rail service in US cities.
All bus and rail service is city-center centric -- so if you live in one suburb and work in another, you must travel to the center of the city , change (trains, say) and go out to another suburb. However, in terms of office parks they TEND to be built on the ring roads around the cities. But no one discusses running rail service on the ring road with a few 'spokes' going downtown.
In other words, the planning for the tracks isn't necessarily where people live and work.
(And I don't see the point of light rail as once you've put in tracks you can't change them whilst you can change a bus route by altering a bus schedule)
The USA has ALWAYS been an anti-intellectual country, so this isn't new. I find it incredible that we're as advanced as we are.
When it comes to global warming, the issues that those of us who believe in freedom have is that the 'solution' is always 'pay more taxes' rather than try and do anything technical about it.

Tissue donation - aka corneal donation. Organ donation should the person happen to die of, say, a motor accident. I'm not sure about blood donation.

Who knows? At this point I'd argue the entire UN can go away with no loss.

Realistically, though, all nations seem to ignore the people affected.

Isn't it interesting that a libtard feels a need to post as anonymous coward? Why is this not surprising?

Russia (then, the USSR), the US, and UK were the true victors of WWII, and the architects of the postwar order. So this isn't surprising.

Maybe it's that Europe is still very anti-Jew and so this is what they want? I find it amazing actually.
Big 5. US, UK, Russia, China, Fraance.

You mean like American Apparel? The ones who make their clothes domestically?

In the UK, it's described as being 'too posh to push' which is a great way to describe it.
I have in the UK but not on the continent.
