IMO when you start trading (it was mentioned earlier) spending 100k on a car isn't spending 100k on a car... if you're any good at trading its spending 500k+ on that car.... people start to realize that the oppertunity cost of owning anything especially when that money makes you money is ALOT higher than the sticker price. At the same time too i think traders are focused on trading... every dollar is another dollar to continue trading with... its no longer about what you can buy but how much you can make
Basically, you can kidnap a 12 year old, use her and if you get arrested, all you have to do is marry the girl. WTF indeed!
Your dollar goes far in most 3rd. world countries. However, is the cheap price for sex so imperative to go and seek it in favelas of Brasil? I don't know.....
Never took a liking to the place as well. Too much negative history and ossies (sp.) I can't get over their collective depression and lack of .... souls.
