    Fortunatly I'm at the point in my life where I can still work my way up. I have no intention of being rich though. I just want a wife, kids, a good job, a nice house, a nice car, and 2 dogs.

    I said before and I'll repeat it. If I take out a mortgage that I cant afford, it's my fault no one else's.

    Also, banks dont usually make huge profits on foreclosed homes. 1) it costs a lot of money to foreclose a home. 2) it takes a few months at least to finish the process which means the bank is getting no money from you while they have to cover the taxes for a bit before they can resell it. 3) a house may be worth $100,000 but a bank cannot afford to have a house sitting on their books for a long time, so they often sell homes for only what is left on the mortgage - if you already paid off $50,000 out of $100,000, they will probably sell it for $55,000 to $65,000 and there isnt much profit for them. Once I saw a home sell for only the amount of the back taxes on it. That means a $85,000 home sold for $12,000. Yes the system does need changes, but people like to blame the banks because it makes them feel like crap to blame themselves......

    100.000 in Rome, 350.000 in Madrid, even 10.000 in Zagreb where I attended the protest in support of Wall Street protest. There were more than 750 protests around the world on 15. october. Yeah, that's very little.
  6. I saw one of the protests. They had banners in support of "The Communist Worker Party of Iran".

    Communism, DOES NOT WORK.
  7. It worked in some countries. But capitalism in quite some more countries.

    The system ain't the problem. Greed is. We are all greedy in one way or the other. What do we expect? To have it better each year? Some days are better than others.
  8. All those people who prostested, here in Holland, are or not smart enough to get a good job or to lazy to get a job. It really irritates me.
  9. Communism light, aka socialism can work.


  10. I think the reality is that pretty much any system can work, as long as everyone works together and everyone keeps heading in the same direction. Both of which dont happen very often or for very long.

    Communism does not work and capitalism obviously does not work too.

    Yeah, greed is the problem, but it's the system that allows that greed and has no intentions to stop it.

    I saw all kinds of banners, because in this situation people from both left and right wing are protesting together.

    How do you stop greed? We cant / shouldnt condition people in a way the system sees fit.
