bennyblack1,

You have still failed to explain to me how you can turn this into a race issue and not turn Paris Hilton's issue into a race issue. How can one be old whining black woman and the other not be young whining white woman? The only reason I can tell is that if you use white, you will be including yourself and we know you don't want to do this because you are so perfect.

The fact is that the minute a black person brings race into the topic, you are the first to harp on someone playing the race card. Yet, you find it completely okay to bring race into the topic. You do not see the hypocrisy in yourself??

The only ones who should suffer from this subprime mess are the lenders. When I borrow from my bank, they require sufficient proof that I can pay back the loan. If I cannot, while it is a stain on my credit record, they suffer the loss as they should if I submitted good documentation. That is the way it should be with the mortgage lenders. They have lending guidelines established by law and by their industry. If they violate those, then they should be ones suffering the loss not the borrowers.

When I borrowed to buy my house a while back, I had to prove I could pay back the loan which I did.

i knew an old one once what slept with guns afraid to leave the house and afraid to stay in it, paying t.v. preachets to keep god on her side tho she had a war hero child in law. she deserved a society to bus her around and shower her with food and medicine and spaces all ocver to rest and epic quests to cure common deaths.

folk should rally around get well soon feed the world sick beds instead of around get sicdk soon tax the world flags and bibles.

crossing the ocean or walking on the moon or swimming to pluto is relatively easy: having the faith that one may do so is the far more challenging step.

to look upon an infinite number of worlds is to glance, to seek out the infinite number of world still left unseen is to stare.

imagination is infinity with an infinite exponent.

if one shares just a handful of thoughts or other dances or other bouquets each day with a slitely more large handful of folk and some of those folk tip: a minimum wage income may not be too far away

sad sob stories i could tell by the zillions.
right now, one of my 40 x wives is a sad
sob story, but keeping her head above water.
both her brothers were murdered. her husband
was murdered, but the authorities ruled it
a suicide. her dad is dead, her mom was
conservatorized by crooked relatives who
took all her money and gypped her daughter.
she lives in her car, and comes by to see
me now that all her fairweather goodtime
charlies have left her. i give her some
cash for food and gas and for her cellphone
so she can get art customers and dates, out
of my disability check. i just go without,
or shop real cheap. is there a reward for
that? not really. i just couldn't live with
myself if i was a cold blooded mackerel.
there are sad sob stories nowadays like that to fill
all of sea world with fish.

that's one thing about the land of opportunity.
you have opportunity to get wealthy, but also
you have the opportunity to lose every dime,
end up homeless, and even go to prison.
singing the blues? ya gotta plenty of company.
when i think i'm a sap, i think of a us marine
who got shot through the head, while bending
down to pick up a kid who just got shot through
the arm. communist always say when they
take over a country to the rich who suddenly
'lose' everything, just like you told us
for years and years, life ain't fair. oh
yes, turnabout is fair play. or is it?

zootallures2 - people are losing their homes because they weren't sophisticated enough to understand the mortgages they were obgliating themselves for and thieves always take advantage of those people - good decent hard working mostly blue collar workers.

And yet these are the same people that Bush wants to have invest their own social security??

I have always felt and feel more strongly that a better educated, better informed American is the best thing for the nation - then not only would we NOT have a guy named Bush in teh white house )even as the janitor!) but people might be more adept at their own finances. THe likes of sob george is supposed to look out for these working class people -- yet another job he failed the nation on.

Also, yaboos like Hannity and Rush keep preaching that the economy is GREAT - GREAT and GREAT. Yeah it is - if you are a hughly paid executive or a trust fund kid like George is - for the ordinary american prices of everything keep going up and salary rises are not going up at same rate.

Some people want to be "victims" so the con artist realtor and con artist mortgage broker "enable" people to buy who should never buy in the first place. It is *** expensive to buy a house, maintain it, insure it and keep it. Some people will never have the smarts to do this and they should never buy.

[zootallures2]

"The number of Americans struggling to pay their mortgages is higher than it's ever been before."

Then how can unemployment be down, retail sales up, and all the rest of the great economic news be true at the same time?

And what about the scam CBS is involved in? The whole nation really. How did building 7 fall? She lost her house? Iraqis and Afghans are losing their lives. Well, you are victims of your own moral-less system!

oh, and when Paris Hilton was being treated "unfairly," I turned it into a stuck up, rich, snotty nosed brat having a tantrum. She's another one, using status for special treatment. She has NO excuse whatsoever. She's got millions. No college degree. A business partner running amuck with no responsibility, using her beauty to get by. Is it me being prejudice, or reasonably upset? The old Proverb goes, "A beautiful woman with no discretion is like putting ruby earrings on a pig's snout." And the pig uses his snout to root around in the mud.

And she can still rent. Now, if she didn't apply for Social Security, well, again, she's over 67 years old. Why didn't she?
