MB73 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 No wonder all of my European colleagues think Americans are bunch of arrogant SOBs. Have you ever worked in a global business? Please tell me that you don't really understand and believe what you are writing. Yes, I have worked as an executive in global businesses (Fortune 500 companies) and also done consulting involving USA companies and global competitors. I am mostly not speaking of Europe. I am primarily speaking of countries that exploit slave labor and child labor. And those that pose a serious economic and even military threat to the USA. Try to think. Read the thread.

WUH Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 I used to work at SLU so I can say with certainty that the discount rate on tuition for international undergrads is significantly more than it is for Americans. International students way pay more on average. I am surprised to see that some here are OK with international students as long as they stay. I can tell you that international students who graduate must apply for work permission through the University. Most students stay at least for a while. Many more would stay if they could find jobs and the necessary work visas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxkesq Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 It was beyond old, it stank, but it hosted The Byrds in 1965 (66?). There should be a plaque out front. But since no 1/2 decent bar band would play there now, might as well put it to some new use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willie Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Up with People gave a free concert there in the late 60's and probably didn't draw 300 hundred people but at the time they were unknowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more people were for people, all people everywhere, there'd be a lot less people to worry about and a lot more people who care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
