more from the troll
duh; it was the only way i could become a home owner... So you wanted to own a home, and you chose to borrow money to achieve your desire. I don't see where the force is coming in. okay, here we go again, troll. are you having fun? if i wanted to achieve the american dream i would be forced to borrow at usurious terms. here's how it works, banks borrow our money at low interest and turn around and loan it at whatever rate the market will bear, or the government will allow. now do you get it? duh... of course, i could choose to be a renter instead, and pay off someone else's mortgage. double duh... jon now who are you, really, and what tax bracket??? ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

of course, i could choose to be a renter instead, and pay off someone else's mortgage. double duh... But a lot of us made exactly that choice Jon -- we chose not to try and buy because we thought it was too risky and we weren't sure we'd be able to afford it in the future. Granted, if I have a choice (which I may not) I'd rather see my tax dollars go to home owners, event those who possibly made unwise choices, than to banks and financial institutions. But honestly, I'd rather not have to bail out either ...

Olin paying off the loan sharks hurts more, olin, but my alternative is to throw money down a hole to pay off my landlord's mortgage. why people mind paying taxes that benefit all of us (except for wars and bureaucratic waste) and don't mind the banks, brokers, and financial managers ripping us all off, is beyond me. as a socialist i would like to see more government programs like the g.i. bill, which made it possible for me to buy my first property, and from that i was able to buy a house. i would have been less likely to default without the balloon payment, but i was lucky and flipped it in time to buy another house for cash. why should i have the luck of the draw and all those other suckers that caught when the bubble collapsed are losing their homes? the troll would say i should give him my house to appease my guilt, but he just likes to bait anyone who refute his laissez faire, libertarian, ayn randian rants. jon ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

So when you write forced in quotes, you really mean not forced. No one forced you, or people like you, to borrow money at terms you did not like. You chose to do so. Don't you think it is better to say what one means and not to play with language to try to blame other people for one's own choices? ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

Don't you think it is better to say what one means and not to play with language to try to blame other people for one's own choices? you know what i mean is more like a form of coercion under duress when one has no choice but to accept the banker's terms, since they control the regulators. you are the one playing with context and giving your own spin to what i say by being picyune. i see how you nitpick, all the time on this site. you look for any thing you can mock or attack. so you can ignore valid points you are unable to refute. just so you don't think you drove me off, i will be starting back to work next month, so i won't have time to play your little mind games. you will just have to get a life, or find someone else to bait. the fact that you continue to avoid revealing who you really are, your tax bracket, and what you do for a living is further proof you are a troll, or are you holding out for more money? jon ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

How exactly were you coerced under duress? Did they kidnap you and take you to the bank, then refuse to allow you to leave until you signed the loan? Or did you choose to go to the bank, and when given the choice to sign or leave, you chose to sign? Why blame someone else for one's own choices? ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
