Giving in

[jstoesz]

Here is a life lesson for future encounters, good lesson for kids too. If you are accused of being an ass (I called you that), play the victim. Sticking to your guys and continuing to claim your sh*t doesn’t stink (excuse the expression) makes you look like a bigger ass. In the future, apologize quickly and sincerely and turn to tables on the person who is name calling (that’s me). You will be amazed at how quickly the accuser’s (me again) tone will change and how quickly they will find the virtue of silence.

Deadzone makes a good point.

Now with the data. Consider that 31% of California homes with mortgages are underwater, with zero or negative equity, homeownership is really not working out for them. If they have any downpayments, those have evaporated.

Of course a great number of those people refinanced themselves into debt. So much for financial security and providing for their families.

A name-caller responding to the alleged ass by suggesting that they are a bigger ass by not apologizing quickly and sincerely to the name caller makes the name caller look like an ass.

Haha agreed! I was going shooting for hypocrisy with a heavy dose of patronization, did I nail it?
