    nuggets of truth

    I know you were being sarcastic. How does that diminish the malice behind it? The way in which the thread creator was attacked for what looks to be an attempt at facetiousness says it all. When I noted the inferiority complex, I am observing the reason for one's behavior. It is not...

    nuggets of truth

    So are you disputing that God exists with your rants about the Bible, or are you just saying that God is cruel? I am just curious, because you seem to have a lot of resentment toward the teachings of the Bible. All of these passages you choose are from the Old Testament and the sacrificing of...

    0% financing

    Problem is that most people taking this loan are not semi smart investors. They also do not have the kind of money necessary to balance out a return that is beneficial to offset leveraging the money. Unless you are talking about someone who is refinancing and pulling the equity out of the...

    0% financing

    Option ARMS (neg ams) are a dirty business. The only time somebody should be using one is if they are in sales or commission based work and are actually putting over 20% down themselves. It gives them the flexibility they need if they have a bad month (like many mortgage brokers have had as of...

    0% financing

    The reason it is not considered to be a great thing is that you have no real vested interest in the property. A person who puts 20% of there own hard earned money is not as willing as someone who has no real monetary stake in their home to default. The PMI discussion is almost non-existent...

    Housing Threatened by Defaults in Sub-Prime Mortgage Market

    Basically all subprime lenders sell their paper to another lender. I would say that possibly 10% is held by the original lender at most. A majority of the time either HSBC, Countrywide, or another huge company purchases the paper. If the lender goes into bankruptcy (which has been happening...

    Father needs help.

    I would try to influence her to double major. She can always switch majors as well once she is in school. It may take her an extra year, but if you are that concerned, I would shell out the extra money for her sake.

    Dixie Chicks

    Usually when record sales are dropping, the group tries to go in a somewhat different direction. Today, that usually means they try to act a little more edgy. That is what the Dixie Chicks seem to be doing here. I mentioned in the prior post (which you edited out when you quoted me) that they...

    The New Business Friendlier - Fox Business Channel.

    Some hard right wingers can come on here and say Ted Turner is a radical left wing Bolshevik just as easily as you have done. I'm sure you would agree they were being ridiculous, which is why you should understand why I think you're being ridiculous.

    Dixie Chicks

    Looks to me like their sales dropped 50% from Wide Open Spaces to Home. Seems like quite a drop. That was before the comments as you mentioned. It looks as though their popularity was already waning. Probably the reason they went on the tirade. Looking for a new demographic to buy their album.

    Dixie Chicks

    After hearing about the Dixie Chicks winning 5 grammys, my first thought is that it is strictly due to the fact that they bad mouthed Bush and are being rewarded more for their politics than for their actual talent. I'm not going to say they are not talented. I haven't even heard their album...

    Or worse yet, we could force them to listen to you do about 5 minutes of stand up.

    You're right. I wouldn't start a thread condemning Ted Turner's channel before it even had a chance to get on the air. Thank you for pointing out your bias.

    Housing Threatened by Defaults in Sub-Prime Mortgage Market

    That is because it was most likely bought at foreclosure auction. When an appraiser goes out to appraise a home in the area, this one will not be used as a comparable for this reason. The guy who bought it at auction is happy because he has instant equity in the home.

    The New Business Friendlier - Fox Business Channel.

    Well at least you have given the new channel a chance before condemning it. Although it isn't even on the air at this point. This really diminishes your argument when you do not even give the channel a chance to begin before vilifying it. I wouldn't say that CNBC is as far left as MSNBC is...

    The New Business Friendlier - Fox Business Channel.

    Didn't Fox hire Alexis Glick to run this new channel? I thought I heard something along those lines. If so, I'm going to have to watch. Alexis was my favorite person on CNBC. Not only is she hot, but she actually is intelligent.

    Another example of our fine "Justice System"

    The real problem with the attempt to rehabilitate these criminals is that they spend all day inside consorting with other violent criminals. I think you could actually shorten their sentences, if they had to do their entire sentence basically in solitary confinement. Put a television in their...

    No problem. There is reason for peoples attitudes towards him though. It is not for his political beliefs either.
