ParticipantEurope is not the Promised Land. Europeans can be intolerant, violent, ignorant, insular, selfish, etc., just like anyone else. I’ve met my share of racist European liberals. I’ve met European Joe-the-Plumber types who complain about their tax dollars going to lazy welfare bums.
Doctors Without Borders runs free clinics and other services in many European welfare states … Spain and Italy, but also Belgium and even SWEDEN. Yes, even Sweden. The clinics serve illegal immigrants, who risk deportation if they use government hospitals.
And I’m all about double-action revolvers. Just took my S&W Model 19 to the range after a 14-year hiatus. Still just as smooth as the day I bought it. Accurate and powerful enough to please the firearms conoisseur, yet simple enough that a n00b can learn to handle it in an hour. Try that with a typical high-capacity Wundergun. “This is the safety. Well, actually the thumb safety. No, that’s the slide release. And that’s the takedown lever. Well, that’s the decocking lever. No wait, you just activated the magazine safety. And that? It’s the trigg… BOOM!” 🙂

February 19, 2010 at 10:55 AM in reply to: Talked with kid that lived in our foreclosure we bought #515099ParticipantYes, brave and perhaps a bit risky to contact the former owners, but I hope it helps to give the kids a bit of closure.
One of the first REOs I toured had hand prints and signatures on the garage walls from the original owners. I agreed with my partner (who went through a couple of foreclosures as a kid) that if we bought the place, we’d preserve that wall as a tribute to one family’s dreams. Unfortunately the bank painted it over a few days later.
I felt substantially less sorry for the parents when I found out how much equity had been extracted from the house, but I still felt bad for the kids.

Participant[quote=FormerSanDiegan]This has to be the first clearly advertising thread where the original poster didn’t get slammed or heckled universally from Piggs.[/quote]
At least it’s vaguely related to real estate. After all of the link spam posts this was refreshing.
