I'm beginning to think this is being oversold the same way as the Iraq war. Let's slow down a little and think this through. Personally I haven't experienced anything like the dire consequences predicted, but then I've always been practical about borrowing and lived within my means. No one I know is losing their house to foreclosure, although there do appear to be many in that situation. Frankly I could afford to pay more in taxes IF they were actually used to provide public services, education, health care. Not for more military hardware nor for Wall Street. |

Interesting. I do very little banking, don't use but one credit card that carries no balance, and do not care AT ALL about "being invested". I never will either.. I'm not interested in "Owning" a house either. When I die, I will have enough money to pay a few months worth of bills.. Money is mostly just a small pain in the ass. I have to collect some every month so I can hand it out.. This hasn't effected me much yet.. Ivan.............. |

I take it you're not putting kids through college at the moment? |

You have never been to college. How would you know anything about it? Well, you wouldn't, like most other things you talk about. I'm sorry sir, but you don't have the background to opine on much of anything. School is important. Especially higher education. Please stop suggesting it isn't. Furthermore, in the past you've made no bones about your willingness to lie, cheat and steal for whatever reason you see fit. Don't make me dig up that old post. Here you are again talking about stealing stuff. |

Go dig it up. I have not ever stolen anything. I do not cheat. I am no a liar. What is my background? Tell me please. All you know, is that I didn't attend a college. What have I done at a College, "Phil Bob"?.. Look, ya dumb ass, just stop. You don't know the first fucking thing about me.. I'm going to tell you this once. So make damn sure you are paying attention.. [edited by moderator] |
