Oh, I see...its the borrower's fault. And I suppose the depression was the fault of the unemployed, too.

Byrdie714

I have to admit--I am still a little un-decided on who to vote for this upcoming election as I am now waiting for McCain to choose for VP.

Anyway I got this message in an email and wanted to pass it on to you folks as I thought it was

Jiro

depression? we ain't in depression, silly. you're in wrong century.

Jiro

give Obama 10 years... he'll be making millions and doing same thing like all politicians. several houses... several servants... they're all the same. Obama ain't no goddamn saint.

Liebling:-)))

Of course I know "The Lazy Millionarie" is the title of a book. Don´t you read that I use both comma before type the title of a book "The Lazy Millionarie " ?

She sees you, and you know that if you just asked her her name, you would leave with her. Forget your life, whoever you came with, and leave the beach with her. And after that day, you remember. Not every day, every week... she comes back to you. It's the memory of another life you could have had. Today is that girl.

Thanks for sharing that, Byrdie!

Did you notice the word "was" in my original, post? That means my reference to the depression was the past tense. Past tense indicates something that has happened prior, not something that is happening currently. To make it clear, I was drawing a parallel between your blame of the victims in the current situation of foreclosure, and a blame of the victims for creating the Great Depression of last century. In addition, the second sentence was one of a sarcastic nature. Really, jiro, you simply need to take a bit more time when reading, and not take everything at surface value. There are subtle meanings and implications that you continually miss. Perhaps the failure to look deeper than what you see on the surface is the reason that you continue to come up with such innane and shallow explanations and solutions.

jillio

And exactly who claimed that he was?

Byrdie714

Danny Westneat of the Seattle Times couldn't have said it any better.

Excellent editorial. Thanks again, Byrdie!

Byrdie714

Your welcome! By the way, did you know that Danny Westneat is also from Ohio?

Jiro

not a claim. but you and Liebling glorified him as a saint and that he will bring "change." you simply need to take a bit more time when reading, and not take everything at surface value. There are subtle meanings and implications that you continually miss. Perhaps the failure to look deeper than what you see on the surface is the reason that you continue to come up with such innane and shallow explanations and solutions.

Jiro

a good read. very good one!

Deaf Mortgage

Truth has spoken. Excellent Editorial to read.

Jiro

oooohhh i'm very aware of it. perhaps you failed to understand my post in a subtle sarcastic nature. You should take a time off and clear your head for the moment so that you don't take everything at surface value. Perhaps the failure to think ahead with clarity and logical to make a difficult decision that sacrifices some & some is the reason that you continue to come up with such fallacious, impossible explanations and solutions where it works in a controlled, well-funded environment.... probably why you're still working on ph.d.... if you are actually a ph.d candidate IRL. As far as I'm concerned - you could be an average Jane who reads one too many shrink books. gotta love the anonymity of internet.

you fail to remember that we're all free to share our POV. no one's POV is more right than others. We can disagree or agree but you cannot squash them and claim that yours is supremely right. Please respect the AD rules

btw - you mentioned depression in the subject of mass foreclosures. I have to point out that:
1. depression was government's fault... obviously
2. this mass foreclosure is not largely government's fault
3. this mass foreclosures are mainly people's faults for not making sound judgement.
4. just because government made regulations easier to loan money does not mean it's a great gimmick. People should have be very careful of it.
5. corporations got greedy and reckless
6. <slap their hands out of cookie jar> no such thing as cheap 1-cent cookie

jillio

I'd heard that!

jillio

There you go. Blaming the foreclosures on the individuals rather than placing the blame where it belongs.

Jiro

and why are you misplacing blame on government? They didn't make or force people to take loans, didn't they? If the people knew anything about personal responsibility... we wouldn't be in this mess

jillio

You really are a piece of work!

Thank God you only get one vote!

This is an interesting piece and has put a lot of perspective into this. As proactive as this article is, It has brought out a lot of points for both candidates.

That's Danny Westneat for ya! I always look forward to his column in the Seattle Times as he puts things in perspective.

Especially when you pointed Bill Clinton and his adultery in the past debate while here no one say anything about Mc Cain's present committ adultery to his second wife.
