Professor Advises Underwater Homeowners To Walk Away From Mortgages

“We had a short sale about 12 years ago, and were quietly shocked 6 years later when we were told that our credit record was sterling.”

“Sure, when it comes to individuals, it sounds immoral to act destructively and only out of economic self-interest. But we've been told for years now that corporations are right and good to behave exactly in that manner. A corporation has a moral obligation to put the stock-holder's profit above all other values. Why is it suddenly shocking when the shoe is on the other foot?”

“seriously? ravages the body? not unless you are under-nourished and have 10 kids in 9 years.”

“"Under-nourished"? I can't say I see many under-nourished people around these days...”
JFaye replied on Nov 27, 2009 at 19:13:27
“I don't understand the "ravage" thing either ... First child, "uneventful" pregnancy and enjoyed it immensely. Ten years later, very sick fetus made the pregnancy difficult ... still my body never felt ravaged.”

“He was named Barack Hussein Obama at birth. When he was living with a step-father, he used that name. When he was on his own, he restored his full name given at birth. Or are you saying that he was born Barry Soetoro and picked Barack Hussein Obama out of thin air??”

“What are they afraid of? hahaha. This is what they're afraid of:
"Keep the faith" Palin said, "because common sense conservatism can be plugged in there in Canada too. In fact, Canada needs to reform its health care system and let the private sector take over some of what the government has absorbed."
Who wouldn't be afraid of an intellect like that?”

7 Things You Didn't Know About Thanksgiving

“If it's true that the folks at the first Thanksgiving ate only 550 calories, they were going badly hungry, because those folks did 8 hours of moderate exercise every single day.”

“They WERE going badly hungry. The first years of the colony were pretty grim.

Daniel Pearl's Family Disagrees WIth NYC Trial For Khalid Sheikh Mohammed

“Calling it an act of war would put it outside of a court system entirely. Killing your enemy in war is not a crime--it's the nature of war. The whole point of terrorism is that it is not a legitimate act of war, but rather indiscriminate killing of civilians who have not taken up weapons against you. Don't dignify what these guys did as acts of war.”

“i agree: they are common thugs and murderers, not glorified soldiers in some holy war. don't play into their self-aggrandisement.”

“I don't understand this line of reasoning. We try child rapists and serial murderers all the time. We tried Nazi war criminals at Nuremberg. Terrorists are murderers, criminals. They are not some kind of supernatural beings who are too powerful to be dealt with. Being shackled and led into a court room to hear the evidence against you, and then sentenced by a jury of 12 men and women to life without parole, or death, is not some sort of reward--it is the justice system. Do these folks not believe in the American justice system?”

“Hasan is alive. There will be a criminal trial. No need for a Congressional investigation at this point. Let the justice system do its job! A congressional investigation could compromise the ability of the courts to convict.”

“Your Irish Eyes are lying. Of course trees and sky don't matter, but lying and distorting the truth matters a lot. The Conservative movement is growing through fraud and deception. Doesn't that matter? I saw a handful of teabaggers in my local city last week with signs reading "Obama is destroying the best healthcare in the world." Problem? Well, factually speaking, it's not the best healthcare in the world. And Obama is not destroying it, he's expanding it. Which might make it better than the healthcare in Slovakia.”

“I can understand the stresses that a Palestinian Muslim would be under serving in the US military, but jeez, this guy got quite a lot out of the system that he apparently despised. He got a free medical education and advanced training in his chosen field, leaving school with no debt. A little gratitude would be in order there. And if he couldn't take the pressure of serving overseas, he could have had the honor and decency to quietly take his own life, not that of 13 or more other people.”

BALLOON BOY CHARGES: Authorities Expect To Charge Balloon Boy Father Richard Heene (VIDEO)

“Did anyone stop to question whether that amount of helium could lift a 50 or 60 or 70 pound boy? Seems a little doubtful to me.”
sibster replied on Oct 17, 2009 at 22:20:46
“I believe it could lift the boy who is about 60lbs, however it would be pretty close depending on the measurements you take to find the amount of helium that would be in the balloon.”

“Bingo; how many little kids do you see floating in the sky per week?”
Amalek replied on Oct 17, 2009 at 22:03:21
“It would require a balloon, or ballon as spelled here, several times larger than this one.”
johnnynyc replied on Oct 17, 2009 at 22:00:18
“Might seem doubtful to you but they asked those who would know and got the answer the balloon would carry 80 lbs clearly much more than the boy weighed.”
kewelwhhip replied on Oct 17, 2009 at 21:59:29
“It also seems evident on the video of the "launch", that there was no weight in the balloon the way it floated up.”

“"But look let's let a thousand flowers bloom."
He said that? Does he know the origin of that quote? It's from Maoist China, a campaign at which people within the Communist party were invited to offer frank criticism, and then were later persecuted for the disloyal, harmful things they had said. Rather stunning to me to hear a Republican quoting the Communists on strategy! If Obama had used that phrase there would be howls of outrage for days!”

Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize
Commented Oct 09, 2009 at 10:04:01 in Politics
“I'm as big an Obama fan as anybody. But I think this is nuts. You give prizes to people who have accomplished something, not to people whom you hope will be able to do so. He is commander in chief of an occupying army in two countries, and he's considering increasing the military presence in one of those countries. How the heck is this peace? Sorry, but 7 or 8 years from now, when Obama has turned this nation into a peace-loving, non-militaristic, non-polluting nation, I'd be as proud as could be. Now? I think it's embarrassing.”

“He died on Saturday, and as of the following Wednesday, except for the fact that there was a funeral, there was basically no information available. Seems odd to me. You shoot and kill a man, and being in the hospital with a hand wound doesn't sound like a good enough reason not to have explained anything about what happened. There would appear to be a hush-up on one or both sides here.”
