Gonna be a while I think.



There's lots of work out there. Start hustling. Start cold-calling companies, tell them you're some sort of business.

Divide the 1000 by 24 and tell them you'll pay it off in two years. They'll yell and scream but there's not much they can do. It'll be on your credit report but if you're buying a house or something the fact you did pay it off will count a lot.

. said:Yes they would rather charge it off, AND have you pay them in full.

If they charge it off, then they get to WRITE OFF the loss. It's essentially corporate welfare.

Plus they can STILL come after you for the full amount, or sell it to collectors.

It's win win for them.



They have to charge off bad debt to make their books more honest. If they are paid they have to put that back on their books as a profit.

You're not paying someone else, right? Someone you owe a lot more to.

. said:They have told me that the total amount is due per our credit agreements (I won't say who it is , but it is one of those predatory banks, yes I am an idiot).

I can pay them as normal, and have sent them out a check for 25% of the balance, but they say their collections department will hound me until they receive and process the payment.

I am sure I signed to those retarded agreements, but I told them if they want eh amount in full and will ding my credit, they really have removed all incentives for me to pay them back.

What is the end game for them? I forgot to pay one month and they would rather charge me off than keep getting my minimum payments for 30 years?

I don't get how this one works.



If a person is having trouble paying his bills, the first creditors in line demanding full payment are the only ones who get paid. They're just playing the odds. In your mind you are absolutely sure you would pay them off in 30 years, but in fact you probably won't.

. said:Why not just watch gay porn then, you faggot.



It is gay porn. Male porn actors can't even get off in a woman, they have to watch another guy jacking it with them. And when they're fucking a woman, they're more interested in their buddy getting off than getting the woman off.

It's gay porn, with a prop, the woman, they use.

The scary thing is kids nowadays are growing up thinking this is normal, that men prefer jacking off over a woman rather than deep in her cunt.

No, they're going to give him all the debt. Credit card debt, car payments, everything. She's not going to be going thru bankruptcy when this is over. And that's what her mother told her.

You are so doomed. If she wanted to just settle up her lawyer would have talked to you and helped the both of you draw up the paper work. She knows she's going to screw you else she wouldn't have gone thru the charade of hand writing up a settlement.

I would just tell the judge that you need a lawyer. They'll find one somehow. At the least the new lawyer could get your wife's laywer to start acting right, and might not cost you much.

Atomic Milton said:I never claimed Hitler was infallible, and the need for winter clothing should have been anticipated, but nor did he have infinite resources to piss away on top line, all weather vehicles and Achtrads for the whole army. Christ, they were still using horses for supply.



People miss the point about the German troops not having winter clothing. German troops have been fighting for 4 or 5 months, and their supply lines can't supply them with new clothes? They don't have factories up in the vast areas they've conquered?

Hitler became obsessed with his racial theories, and began massacring the Slavs instead of convincing them to cooperate. So few factories kept running.

And Goring was the only one in the Hitler high command who understood the vital importance of supply lines in warfare. He seems to have developed a great dislike for his fellow Nazis, and just told Hitler what he thought Hitler wanted, instead of what would have been best for the German war effort.

. said:what was green lantern's special power? he had a lantern?

that was always going to suck.



shit, even frodo's magic ring was cooler



It was actually GL's ring. The lantern was just to recharge the ring.

Green Lantern was always pretty gay. When you're a kid you want a superhero who can kick some ass. Pointing a ring at them and putting them in a green box isn't quite the same as the Hulk pounding someone.

And they always had trouble with plots. The rings were all powerful, so what was the contest about? So the plots normally hinged on this galactic wide group of do-gooders, who seemed really, really lame.

Well, why are they building regular housing in flood zones? There's lots of ways to building housing resistant to flooding, like moving in some dirt and building out of the flood area.

They're building these houses because they know the government will step in and make things right after a flood.

In a libertarian society people would check with the insurance company first, and the insurance company would give them the specs for allowed housing in this area, in return for insuring it.

People wouldn't build this shit if the government wasn't there.

The black power movement, such as it was, was at its zenith. In other words, there was every bit as much :tnb: and :tfb: as there is now--the only difference is in the clothes and the hairstyles. Anybody who idealizes the 60s and 70s in America either wasn't there or is a moron.



Exactly. Hell, the blacks were rioting in every major city. Jane Fonda was passing intelligence to an enemy killing 10,000 American soldiers a year.

Shiny New Kid said:80% of lifetime health expenditure is in the final two years of "life". Everybody pays for all that expenditure in insurance rates even if you don't personally use it.

The large increases in life expectancy come mostly from improved sanitation and nutrition.

I'm amazed at medical advances, but to be frank the cost of the kind of basic health care the majority needs has escalated to pay for the exotic treatments for the minority making basic health care unaffordable or cutting into other expenditures for most



I agree with most of that, still, ultimately you're bitching about the health care system doing too much. That's a lot better than the health care system just figuring out about vaccines.

It did? You can reduce the fall of a 500 year old empire to one single thing, the way the "leaders" handled money? Really? So the millions of barbarians attacking the empire had nothing to do with the fall?

And what about the one billion million other ancient empires? They all fell for the exact same reason?

Sorry. That was the exact same argument the fundies make about the Rapture. It confused me.

I can see now that you are arguing that since an ancient empire fell a couple millennium ago, that proves that America is going the same way.
