You must be fished out today your reply was not up to your usual low standard even.
I was trying to raise the bar and see if you could reciprocate. My mistake, carry on.

This is quite stupid though.
Irony aside. If you didn't understand the reply, all you had to do is ask for clarity. Although I suspect you are the only one that didn't/couldn't get it.

Feel free to actually get an education and try again, at your earliest convenience though.

One of the benchmarks of inflation is the average persons inability to gauge near future economic conditions in volatile markets. Most of those unfortunates who took out loans did not have the same access to trending financial information about the near term. In that way the banks very much did fraudulently lend.
On a much lighter note you personally (the zionist mouthpiece known as CDNBear) haven't a clue about the ultimately beyond means living and shilling that turns your tiny **** crank. I do believe you've taken out a loan that you cannot service. Those who worship the golden calves should remember that the little bagmen go to the gallows far ahead of the suits. insert smiley

Yeah, and I guess everyone who ever ate tainted food products should have taken more responsibility and tested the food products they purchased before they consumed them too...

That would be quite the utopia, if everyone had the tool box necessary to be so knowledgeable that they could perform all analysis on everything in their daily lives by themselves...

lol yeah it takes a PHD and all kinds of fancy measuring devices to figure out that you can't sustain $1200 a month mortgage payments when you make $30,000 a year. Yes, it's the same as looking at a head of lettuce and seeing the ecoli on it. :)

A couple more of the 'leaders', in this case the so-called 99'ers:




Here's how Grim described herself:
Priscilla Grim: I worked for nonprofits for 10 years, have studied online media in school, and I am currently in grad school studying information science. I helped to organize online actions pre-MoveOn.


Here's how Chris described himself:
I am 28 years old, college educated, full-time job, part-time freelance job, and I volunteer to feed the hungry and needy every Sunday. I live in New York City. I wear a tie to work, unless it's Friday. I am an anarchist, though my belief is that anarchism should be more about building things up than tearing things down.


So a corporate tie-wearing 'anarchist' psuedo-hippie and a post-grad, post-punk indie film maker.

Apparently, you don't understand the concept of washing food.

That's the funniest aspect of the unions being involved....where do they think their juicy pensions are coming from? lol

Public Unions... it comes from tax payers. Guaranteed kiss in the mail and so many ways to boost it before you retire.

Sometimes if you are well connected they transfer you to a higher paying job with the intention of retiring right away. Then they get to collect at THAT rate.

A big problem here is a lot of firemen retire as soon as they hear they are filling in for a Lieutenant for the day. They suddenly have an accident or if they are eligible for retirement they go and file their retirement papers before their shift is over. Then they get to collect a Lieutenants pension forever!

5 New Rules for an Economy That Works



The 99% is growing stronger and larger. The next step is to move the country. Which requires us to decide where we want to go and how we want to get there.

Momentum seems to be growing. Creeping into Canada as well. Might have started small with strong unfocussed emotions, but that might change into a clearer definition of the discontent. That would be a "normal" part of the process..as it evolves.

ES, I think you're stretching the truth a little. That isn't how a pension plan normally works, and even if it did I suspect such a case of intentional retirement accident would be rare and likely uncovered as fraud.

I was on Wall Street and the surrounding area most of the afternoon. You have some crazy whackos down there along with some really well educated interesting people and everything in between. It was really fun and interesting to be there.

So WLDB would you count yourself among the crazies or the well educated? :)

Perhaps a little of both. :p

I'm no radical. Some of them are calling for a second revolution. I'm really surprised it hasn't become violent yet. The relations between the cops and protesters are quite tense in some areas.

Be careful.

Herman Cain steps up attacks on Occupy Wall Street protests


Herman Cain steps up attacks on Occupy Wall Street protests - latimes.com




But there is good news for the whiny hipsters:

Cow Palace Hosts First Ever Medical Marijuana Job Fair


DALY CITY (KCBS)— Even though the federal government threatened a crack down on California’s medical marijuana clubs this week, The Cow Palace is brazenly hosting a Cannabis Expo that includes a job fair just south of San Francisco.
Medical marijuana growers and sellers gathered this weekend with no sign of the feds in sight at the West Coast Cannabis Expo. However, an array of aromas emitting from medicinal marijuanas and their budding entrepreneurs was prevalent as they displayed their wares, almost like a wine-tasting.

So away you go now kids.

What exactly is your opposition to the protestors?? Are you completely content with the "state of the union" as it is?? Or do you have a better idea to bring about critical change. Reality is that the US is in trouble. BIG trouble. From so many sides it is hard to know where to begin Would you prefer folks kept silent and simply accepted the situation as the new "status quo"??

Let's hear YOUR ideas .......and what you would do differently??

The question that comes to mind: Have these 99 percenters used the power of social networking at all?? as in addition to making a physical presence/ statement.

Seems the anger is generalized at the moment. But more commentators are bringing an understanding and focus to what they are angry about

and what the heck is wrong with medicinal pot?? At least that way ...if it is paid for by the users ......the US might be able to put a tiny dent in its formidable debt. Seems the obvious continues to ecape the folks. When a war is costing what the Iraq /Afghanistan wars are costing.......it is REASONABLE to consider bringing them to an end ASAP and use that money towards the debt and job creation for the people at home. But it seems that politics are more important than common and obvious sense.

seems too.......that the overall priorities are so screwed up...... that little wonder the 99ers are angry in an untargetted way. NOTHING about what has happened over the past decade and continues to happen makes any sense. Maybe they lack definative focus because they are overwhelmed by so many issues that are gurgling up at them.

I was on Wall Street and the surrounding area most of the afternoon. You have some crazy whackos down there along with some really well educated interesting people and everything in between. It was really fun and interesting to be there.

what did you ascertain to be the key concerns for these 99ers?? What is making them the most angry?? Besides protesting......what ideas do they have that would go towards solving this mess??

sounds like the folks there are representative of the general population. Not sure how their status matters in the greater scheme of things.
