[quote=temeculaguy]Astrid, what was your ID before you changed it? Piggington has a unique feature called “track.” It shows you’ve been a member for 4 years and only posted on two threads. Not enough to perform an analysis on the history of piggington or of my politics unless you changed your identity and then the logical question is why did you change it?
But you blew flyer’s mind, what a feat. Blow ZK’s mind who may agree with you do but who is an intellectual but not as predictable as brian and you won’t be considered a troll if you can, until then you are.
If you want to look back I predicted Trump would win as the crowded field began but he wasn’t my pick. But that matters not as you see red and what you don’t like and that makes you predictable and the sheeple. I watch them and try to outmaneuver them. I have never participated actively in politics but merely use it as a data point to predict things.
Admittedly I am to blame for starting this threads with insults toward a particular ideology because I thought it was needed to get the crowd to focus and see the folly of their distraction. That is my fault and I accept the blame for that misstep. Part of me hopes you get the leader you so desperately want next time only to see it makes no difference and we will still be left with each other to navigate the waters on our own.
Now I’m distracted, but thanks to all for their advice, glad to see AN felt this was a safe space for a capatalist to return to.
Scenario one just firmed up their work location, near sorrento/torrey so Mira Mesa is equidistant from their two work sites. There’s a massive rental complex just off mira mesa blvd right next to the 15. Can FLU, AN or anyone else with familiarity with the area give advice of that as a good rental spot to gauge the area for a newcomer? They are not the ones relocating from SE Asia.[/quote]
I did not have an ID when the real estate bubble was happening. I was only in high school when I started reading this site and others because my family was getting caught up in a real estate scam. Almost everyone in my family, aunts and uncles and adult cousins gave money to a scammer that said they were buying houses. The crooks became a part of our community and used the church to recruit their victims. I saw how they replaced the faith of my family in Christ with the faith that real estate was the answer to everything. I knew nothing about real estate but knew something was not right.
After everyone lost money there was so much blaming and it caused divisions in my family that last to this day. My parents no longer speak to some of my favorite aunts and uncles. We were all very close but the scam created so much shame and anger that has never healed.
The one thing I will never forget about that time is how there were two sides that grew further apart every day. There were uncles who believed in the scam and those who rejected it. It became so much more than just a difference of opinion and divided our family completely. It was the only thing the adults would talk about at family gatherings. And I remember how the uncles who believed most would mock and make fun of those who were not investing. One of them became especially mean spirited and would flaunt his so called wealth in front of his brothers. He became a bully. I see the same behavior in the Trump people when they mock others. Of course they were all wrong in the end.
For your post TG, insults were never needed. Your explanation is very weak. You insulted because it gives you a rush of good feelings. It is how the mind of a bully works.
For me your nickname of TG will now and forever stand for Trump’s Guy. You can try to take back your words but it is not convincing.
The real estate bubble was a cult. For my family it was even tied to our faith. Trump is also a cult. It is so obvious. It is not surprising that he also uses the church to recruit his victims.
I would like to try to see your point of view but you are not trying to see mine. And I have no sympathy for these monsters and their supporters.
I am married now and we are considering buying a house in Menifee or Temecula but are not sure it is a good time to buy. I thought I might ask advice here but now I am not so certain about the quality of the information. It seems that many of the smart people have lost their way.
