Professor Advises Underwater Homeowners To Walk Away From Mortgages

Professor Advises Underwater Homeowners To Walk Away From Mortgages

Commented Nov 29, 2009 at 12:31:58 in Business

“Does anyone really think bankers and mortgage brokers are in anyway motivated by morality?

The lender-borrower relationship is a predatory one and always has been. The banks not only believe they have a divine right to screw you, but that you have a responsibility to sit still while they do it.

Think the way businessmen think: Act in your financial self-interest at all times. Period.”

“The lenders already got their profit. They got paid the day the deal was inked. They have NO connection to the actual payoff of a loan.”

“Don't knock Bear fans, or Chicago, or sports in general for this kind of behavior. There are people like this all over the place. On the surface, it can be about sports or politics or religion or a parking space. Some people are just looking for a reason to lash out and do damage. It's the hostility that comes first. Football is just an excuse to vent it.”

“Yep, the MSM totally misjudged what is probably the most significant discovery in the past 100 years.

We got plenty on the balloon boy, though.”

“Are you kidding me?

This comment is dumb on so many levels. The scientific value of this discovery aside (and it is huge), NASA serves this country and its economy in many tangible ways. The research driven by NASA has spawned countless products, technological advances, and entire industries. The federal spending dedicated to NASA is minuscule when compared to Social Security and Medicare. The money it does spend goes almost entirely to American companies and institutions.

It has nothing at all to do with a 'anticipated water crisis facing the earth'. It's about knowledge for its own sake. Try it sometime.”

“If this is true (and it does seem credible to me), then it would be an astoundingly dumb move on the part of the WH, and contrary to the very spirit of why I voted for Obama.”

“Good, we don't need your vote.

If you thought Obama wasn't a fighter, you werent' paying attention.

Obviously you are lying about voting for him, nice try.”

Come on... anonymous person claims the WH told "Them" not to go on Fox again "or else" ... yet ... that anonymous person said they want to stay anonymous out of fear of the WH

..... um .... if the WH did say that to that anonymous person - staying anonymous would be MOOT because the WH would know who they said it to .... DUH.”

“The best boss I ever had was also the most demanding, tyrannical, belligerent SOB on the planet. But you always knew, in no uncertain terms, what was expected and where you stood. And believe me - things got done.

The worst boss I ever had was charming, personable, and eventually stabbed me square in the back. He showered me with praise while secretly undermining everything I did.

Sexual harassment, criminal activity, and physical violence are always unacceptable. But don't confuse toughness with malice, or sweetness with benevolence.”

“The best boss I ever had knew how to balance high expectations and fairness. You would never see him behave abusively but he still commanded respect. Good leaders don't lead by fear but by example.”

“"Overlords"?? I think you have some daddy issues.

What is this fanatical devotion to Japan?? Can you honestly say that there isn't something just a little bizarre about the obsession the Japanese have with cartoon schoolgirls??

Or maybe we've touched a nerve, here. Are you obsessed with cartoon schoolgirls?? Is that it? Have I inadvertently offended your secret passion?? Is that what's on your iPhone??”

“Have you seen some of the video games and game shows that come out of Japan?? There is a very disturbing predilection for humiliation in Japanese entertainment that is not nearly as prevalent in other parts of the world. Hentai? Excuse Me? Spare me the dander. This article is just about a stupid iPhone app, and my comment was more facetious than spiteful, but if you're going to come running to the defense of Japan, then you better have the full story.”

Hey BLTMN, you're digging yourself a ditch. The best you can do is to attack their game shows? My I-Phone is full of those game shows, and they are the funniest and often most original things I've ever seen. Just admit that you're clueless and most likely deeply jealous of our Japanese overlords and we can part in a civilized manner.”

“Bachmann is an absolute genius in the tradition of Roger Ailes and Karl Rove. She 'transcends' facts to operate in her own perceptual universe. How many second-term members of congress get this kind of attention? Amazing.”
