And that illustrates my position very well. Irresponsible people are everywhere and yet, if they had found the right broker, they could very well have been put in a house. Then we would have yet ANOTHER bad loan that would eventually go sideways and cost taxpayers or other borrowers. Failed mortgages cause more damage than one might think. Bad loans force lenders to compensate in other areas to offset the losses. They have to meet certain goals which means you and I pay for the mistake at some point.

To this day, I learn things and I have been at it a long time! The world changes and business changes with it. The problem is trying to stay up with it all!
If I have learned anything it is that there are a lot of very dumb people in the world. People that can barely shop at the grocery store on their own, much less enter into a contract for a 200K home! There comes a point where we must simply admit to ourselves that not everyone should buy a house.

This agency exisits for ONE reason; to regulate FREDDIE and FANNIE. That's right! Already in place! Wow! Regulation, people! I just do not see this as some kind of "indictment" of capitalism. Sorry. Not there.
What if we all just actually TRY real capitalism for once??? Capitalism has been defined as, "what people do if you leave them alone". Let them make their own mistakes. Suffer consequences. Sink or swim.
In the 1930's, before Roosevelt's New Deal, we paid about 12% of our income to ALL of government (state, local and federal). Today it is about 40%! *ouch* I suppose that in itself does suggest failure but I say it is a failure to practice TRUE capitalism. A failure to accept consequences and believe in real value. A failure to be RESPONSIBLE.

Point well taken, Justin. Well said. I have spent twenty years in finance. I have seen things that disgusted me and, quite frankly, there is something to be said for "fair" business. As to doing the "right thing" for ones family, I have to ask you this; is it REALLY the right thing to buy something you cannot afford? Where is the responsibility in purchasing a home, that you KNOW is not within your price range, simply because your family wants a house?
I may sound insensitive but I do not subscribe to the notion that "every American deserves to own a home". Wonderful sentiment but the reality is, there are MANY people that simply are NOT financially responsible enough to handle home ownership. To attempt to blame shady business practices for the problem of financial ineptness is just wrong. Get help if you do not understand something. It is incredibly irresponsible to buy something as major as a house when you are not able to understand what you are doing.
I do not support companies that prey on uneducated borrowers. I have long held the position that "stated income" loans and other "creative" financing is not good business. Putting people into mortgages they cannot afford is criminal, to me. This is more of the old American desire to have it all and have the best...NOW. That is a shame, my friend. I am thankful you and your family managed to get a beautiful home at a fair price. That it what it is ALL about. BUT, equally important is understanding that not everyone can handle homeownership and that is NOT the fault of the government, you or me.

Hey MG...
Yes, well... we kind of noticed the 'trend' going on in the buses from Edmonton these days. Facts are facts!
We have some things in common! Wales is where my Grandma's from. Never been there, but gotta go to the Celtic Capitol... And, you're so brave diving. (I'm totally freaked out from a diving accident years ago and doubt I'll ever go down there again! Eeeeek!)
Very cool.
But, back on topic ... what pisses me off ... is that the whole section of Alice Cooper the other night was sitting down, with nary a bobbing head or tapping foot among them!! (Except us, who stood & rocked out the whole time -- so thank goodness we were at the back of the terrace with no-one behind us.)
But ... weird, eh? Why bother...??? |

FBI wanna bee's But KK wasafraid they werent going to let them in.. and after a big whoop=dee do they did finally get over.. Geezus..
I just told them that next time they will just have to stay at my house...LMAO

Well, it's time for that other story about how they have trouble getting into Canada on the BC side.
All I can say is, "It Figures". That province has too many rules, too much rain, and rightfully deserves it's unofficial Canadian title as "The No-Fun Zone". Also, BC = Bring Cash in Canadian, eh? 
So ... what's the story?
(When we immigrated from New Zealand to Canada, we had big problems at the Peace Arch crossing too. We were not impressed. Anyway, nice to know we are in good company!)

Ok, I understand when a true fan had something signed and is in a financial crunch or just feels that it is time to let a signed item go. However, the bastards that seem to make a pretty good living out of having people (PRIEST!) sign things just to sell it for profit should be relegated to Dante's fourth circle of Hell, IMO.

Cool! I am really glad to learn that they didn't sign it (and that you managed to find out!). I can also understand why Glenn got pissed when, as someone posted here, he was signing a guitar pickguard and someone took his picture doing it. That would really piss me off too as it is often the mark of the autograph scummy "professional." As I said, ruins it for the real fans. Amoral, even, IMO.
Thanks for the follow-up. I appreciate the info.

My original post came after looking at the current GUITARS that are being offered on eBay. What lowlife bastards. Offer "positive proof" of a signing but to just turn and sell it. Hell, the pictures don't match even the PLACE they are pictured as signing irrespective of the fact that the autographs were either really sloppy or complete fakes. My money would be on completely sloppy as that would be how I'd handle anyone I perceived to be an autograph hound. It would certainly catch a careless fan, though. LOOKS close. Sadly, no cigar.

No, I don't own my rig LOL I'm talking about working for the wrong trucking company. There is a lot out there that isn't "common" knowledge. The work laws governing truck drivers have some weird twists to them.
Happy for you that you're making some dough at Dominos (rhymes rhymes rhymes).

DC, maybe, just maybe this will make you feel a little better, gas prices in Slovenia:
1 gallon:
95 octane 1,187 € /l x 3,8 = 4,51 € = 7,1197 $
98 octane 1,198 € /l x 3,8 = 4,55 € = 7,1810 $
Diesel 1,298 € / l x 3,8 = 4,93 € = 7,7808 $

The fact that I HAD two 7th row tics and was going to take my nephew to see the mighty JP but could not make it home in time due to work over in Africa. I had to get one of my friends to take him and just EAT $280. worth of pure badass. Instead I get to sit on a boat (which I'm still here) for another week and wait 'till the job is done to go home. Talk about pissed off....Of course those in charge don't give a $#!+ and I had told them this MONTHS ago! No JP, no H&H and no Motorhead. Just work offshore, and that is that.!! .......................drag.....................      |

I'm actually okay with him going back next season...as long as he watches the budget. I've just been so burned out with everything. I spent 11 straight days at the hospital taking care of him. Then when we got home I had to do that AND work. The accident was a month ago and only now am I starting to get my energy back. Still need to write all those thank-you notes.
He can do almost everything himself now. When he figured out how to tie his shoes, I said boy am I gonna miss that metaphor LOL. |

on the other hand, if he were to quit now, its because he lacked ability. where as he can go back and conquor the bike, or decide that its time to hang it up, on his terms. being forced into anything sucks. if he can ride, he can decide not to, but if he quits because of a crash, thats damaging to his psyche.

This weekend he wants to go watch motorcycle racing AT THE SAME FUCKING RACETRACK and then stop by the RV dealership to look at a trailer for next season.
I don't know what to say. I don't even want to think about this. |

What's pissing me off?
What's pissing me off is the fact that I'm not 18 yet so I can't fucking participate in these fuckin cool fuckin contests for fuck's sake!
Here's my idea for the Top 5 list contest.
I give permission to whoever wants to use this list.
Top 5 Most Memorable Moments In A Song:
1. The Hellion
2. Painkiller's drum intro.
3. Living After Midnight's riff.
4. Guitar Solo from Sinner.
5. Opening note of Turbo Lover.
And I think it's a GOOD fucking list too because it's all true! How many of you remember other parts more so then those things I listed? |

Well....I am have been pissed off most of the day that I am still here at home! Guess I am not making that back to back Pittsburgh / Dallas run.
Ah well, probably for the best but still BURNS me to be sitting on two JP tickets thanks to a bastard who promised to go. Still waiting for him to call back to see when we are leaving. Grrrrr! |
