ParticipantI wouldn’t assume that the seller is an innocent party to all this. They might have told their agent to not take less than asking. Also, I think dumb sellers end up working with dumb agents, hence the arrogance/rudeness at showing. They should be kissing your arse.
ParticipantSpeaking of deh doo da, this is the type of gang activity you can expect to see in Escondido. Notice the graffiti.

ParticipantThe “parents graves robbed” was because the money she used to buy the house was an inheritance (she said it).
Cute vid. They paid $600k for homes in the middle of nowhere.

October 12, 2007 at 10:52 AM in reply to: OT: why do some american parents buy their minors guns? #88447ParticipantBTW is anyone else feeling that there is more tension growing in public places, perhaps because people are already feeling the effects of an economic meltdown? Or is this just my own self-fulfilling prophecy (hey I’m Nostradamus).
I’ve seen a lot more road rage incidents lately and parking lot rage. I think if our economy really crashes some areas (Mira Mesa, for example) will see crime go up.

This country and its people spend more on military than any other in the world. We are so proud of our military and we are so impressed with our own weapons and delivery systems (come on, I know you drag your lawn chair out to the Miramar Air Show every year). We as a people just love weapons, guns, bombs, and violence. It’s useless to deny it. Those air shows are nothing but a demonstration of what great killing machines we can make and nobody seems to have a problem with them. We don’t have a problem with teens carrying guns in Iraq either. So guns are OK sometimes but not others.
We teach our children that they should do their military duty. We also teach them to love violent first-person video games where the object is to shoot and kill everything. At the same time we teach them that they are special (little miracles) so they grow into narcissistic, hedonistic, children-in-adult-bodies.
To me the real danger is not guns or weapons but the un-naturally violent nature of our society and the fact that everyone driving a car or holding a gun feels like HE is special. Why focus on the guns?

ParticipantWalmart sales have increased, leading to another DJIA rally to a record high. That must mean we’ve hit bottom and can only go up from here. 😉
What people don’t realize is that more people shopping at walmart means they can no longer afford the finer things!

ParticipantShe could barely afford the initial payments so she signed a 100% interest-only adjustable rate loan? Poor thing. Let’s bail her out!
