  1. Actually, many of the "righty loons" know much of it was also caused by people too unbelievably stupid to either (1) recognize they were buying something they could never afford and/or (2) were somehow the only people in the world able to go through escrow and sign six-figure loan documents without having any knowledge of what just happened.

     

    There is plenty of blame to go around, but only in liberal la-la land are the evil banks the only ones at fault while people borrowing money they couldn't afford to pay back are the" victims."

     

    Not that I would ever, in this lifetime, expect a liberal to understand what is meant by the term "personal accountability."

     

    So the total percentage of defaults was what? I am genuinely curious. One would suspect they would need to be fairly high in the US market to trigger a global collapse. These debtors that lacked personal responsibility, how many of them did it take (%wise) to crash the global economy all by themselves?

     

    Look, I freely grant that the idiots should have never bought the houses. I admit that democratic policies lead to this fiasco to some degree. The banks were still the the major players. They led to the uncertainty IMO.

  2. Nice canard. You've got cousin Fatty lyrbob's back I see. So Countrywide, the largest mortgage lender at the time settled because they supposedly discriminated against 10,000 minorities? So, that (their discrimination) is what caused the housing collapse? Every time you libs are confronted with facts you twist and turn the subject or run and hide. What is your expertise in the mortgage and real estate industries?

     

    So you don't see that as a contributing factor? Or do you deny it happened?

  3. To fund such worthwhile projects as these:

     

    http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/286628/65-billion-wasted-andrew-stiles

     

    Lest we be overrun with horny Asian fowl all jacked up on Bolivian marching powder.

     

    The author lists some of the more egregious examples, yet the vast majority is inefficiency ($120 million paid out in retirement and disability payments to deceased federal workers) and fraud ($1 billion in tax credits for energy-efficient home improvements awarded to individuals who, according to a survey by the Treasury’s secretary general for tax administration, “had no record of owning a home.” Recipients included hundreds of prisoners, and children as young as three).

     

    So let's remove those for a minute. The rest of his examples added together total $30,845,000. Still a substantial sum for sure, but come to find out, of that $30,845,000, $27,800,000 are tied up in two things.

     

    • 17.8 million in aid to China
    • $10 million awarded by the U.S. Agency for International Development to a Pakistani arts organization to create “130 episodes of an indigenously produced Sesame Street.”

     

    Odd that, China and Pakistan. Wonder if they are areas of concern?

     

    In any case, the remaining examples amount to $3,045,000. So, of the 6.5 billion of waste for totally frivolous spending, you want to quibble over quail?

     

    Senator Coburn clearly thinks that because we already know that cocaine is bad and increases sexual promiscuity, it is no longer worth studying. I rather strongly disagree with this, and so I’d like to use this post to talk a bit about WHY we still need to study the effects cocaine and addictive drugs in general, why we need to study the effects on sexual behavior in particular, and why quail are a good choice.

     

    Way to keep your eye on the ball. :thumbsup:

  4. Why would you need Booster? He's neither "big, tough or even particularly skilled", plus he's "never even been black". Plus, since you are obviosly a racist, he would only want you banned.

     

    Yeah, Eryn has never struck me as racist or obviously trying to support a racist. You have obviously tried to support Dave. Own it. You want to support Dave, well then step up to the plate 3rdrate. Do not equivocate. Oh and it is obviously.

  5. Why would a closet racist have issues talking trash to a below average white guy who isn't big or tough? I'm not backing Dave in this hypothetical slap fight, just wondering what your rationale is for asserting that Dave wouldn't dare say anything to your face, given the way you've described yourself? Are you claiming that Dave is even smaller, less tough, and less skilled than you?

     

    Because people like him do not have the guts to talk their trash face to face.

  6. Sorry to interrupt yall's pissing match, but I was curious about one thing.

     

     

    I'm curious which sort of **** he wouldn't say in your face (sorry if that was clear in the original thread). Also, why would he not; is it because you are a big/tough guy, because you are black, or some combination therein?

     

    No worries.

     

    Well, my point was that he wouldn't because he is a closet racist. People like that do not talk openly about their views.

     

    I am neither big, tough, or evenly particularly skilled anymore. Never been black.

  7. Remember this post Booster? This is one of many in this thread from October 7th to October 10th where you ask for Dave to be banned over and over again because of his "crusading". You were told by many that you were the one doing the crusading. You are now on a new crusade by stalking me in numerous different threads trying to associate me with Dave's perceived racism. All this for the simple reason that I have stuck up for his right to post additional examples of inner city youth mob attacks in a inner city youth mob attack thread.

    You on the other hand are going to threads about NASCAR, Healthcare, OWS etc. and replying to any post I make with some bs that you can relate to this issue and then playing your little game. Can you see where you are wrong here?

     

     

     

    Booster, do you remember this? Do I need to remind you that you admitted you were wrong before but now are doing the same thing, over and over again? Do you see why this makes you look really stupid?

     

    Yeah, I am the one on a crusade. :rolleyes:

  8. It's always them, never you right Mr. Criss cross applesauce?

     

    :lol:

     

    Booster is going to need 34 more sources, a videotape, a signed confession and a notarized letter from all 9 Supreme Court judges before he will believe any of your story.

    Knit cap with earflaps is enough proof for me.

     

    Cute, but I am not supporting the OWS cause. I have an issue with how the police responded. You are a smart enough troll to know that, so try a different tact if you want to mess with me.

  9. Booster, you are on a crusade and are proving over and over that you aren't very bright. I have a serious question for you-----------------------have you ever read anything longer than a bumper sticker?

     

    As far as books go I tend to read say 3 a week. Since I am a speed reader of sorts, I tend to read say 40-60 articles a day. Why do you ask?

  10. The 8:34 minute video I posted was certainly the rest of the story compared to your singular picture. Now, quit following me around and bringing this up in every thread I post in. You've been made to look silly, again. Let it go before someone feels you are on a mission.

     

    Loser. Oh and I love the fact you support Dave, but are accusing me of a crusade. Speaks volumes as to your character.

  11. How many times and in how many ways do I have to tell you that both sides were stupid here?

    I posted that already. You posted a singular picture and I posted a video. You then posted a partial video taken from the same video I posted. You then claimed that my version was bs.

    I don't know why I even argue this with you. It's like every day you have to be reminded to not stand up in your hi-chair.

     

    You were not at all clear you thought both sides were stupid when you said, "And now you know the rest of the story".

     

    In fact, all you proved was my point, the police were stupid. Thanks.

  12. My link (in the "Occupy Wall Street" thread) was bs because it showed much more footage of the event than your subsequent link? The video you linked to was a small portion of the video I linked to. I linked the full story while you originally linked to a single picture. So, I guess less information is ok if you think it validates your point? Next time you want to argue with an adult I'd advise you to get a booster chair. Maybe that will help you to keep up.

     

    So you admit you were arguing for the police at first? If not, then your point seems invalid. Posting after me when we have a history and saying. "And now we have the rest of the story" is certaintly not going to be taken as you are even partially agreeing with me.

     

    So you agree with the cops or not? I say they were in the wrong.

  13. I can see where you are trying to take things here. Don't try this schit with me, you assmudgeon. You are just another drive-by poster that does no homework and comes to the discussion unarmed and without the intellect to comprehend a reasoned argument.

     

    Well 3rdrate, you try and pull **** {note I am not trying to circumvent the language filter like yourself) like "And now you have the rest of the story" and post a link that is bull ****. More to the point, you often try and validate Dave, yet when I remark you and he are tight, you take that as an offense. Odd that.

  14. Dear Mr. Obtuse:

     

    You are dumber than Dave in Norfolk's schit. So, I'm wrong because the University said they had the right to protest and the cops pepper sprayed them? I told you that I was making fun of both sides but you continue to try to label me the way you want me to be labeled.

     

    It is amazing that you have been able to survive in this world as long as you have.

     

    Well, if you felt it was wrong, you sure tap danced around saying so.
