Every conversation I hear about the record foreclosure crisis revolves around greedy borrowers buying houses they cant afford, speculators getting bad loans cause they want invest in property and are therefore greedy, and greedy crooked lenders making bad loans. But there are other things going on in our society that might seem to point as at least possible other causes. For example, Did you know that there are many types of subprime loans? one type is for someone with good credit who maybe can only afford a $200,000 house, and gets a rate that is artificially low for a year or 2 just so they can qualify. Another type however is for people who do not have the down payment to buy a house and therefore get an adjustable rate mortgage with higher rates, and possibly even higher rates in 2 or 3 years. Still another type is for people who do not have the requisite computerized credit score, which means that you automatically have to get a high rate adjustable loan as well.

In fact nobody ever attacked America. What happend on Sep11 was just a criminal act of just regular criminals who were members of a criminal group located in the Middle East having no legitimate status as an international organization. Yes, they were muslims. And what? There are a lot of crazy people in any religion. There are a lot of criminals in the US who kill people, kill children, violate women and kids everyday. How many people are killed by criminals in the US? How many ppl are killed in US a year. Thousands of them are killed every year. 9/11 was possible because Home Security did not their job. Period. It is not a secret anymore. Why blame Islam? Why blame other countries and invade other sovereign countries, create chaos in their lands, kill millions of people and children?

If there was some type of emergency. A flood, a fire, a terror attack that kills 100 people, a cyber threat, a flu outbreak that kills a dozen, should the president be allowed to take over every branch of government and every business?

Does that mean if elected, the Republicans have no plan to fix the economy, since they don't consider it to be broken in the first place ?

Is this just more "stay the course" type policy ?

Is it because they've lost their credibility on the issues ?

So Bill got a BJ and Hillary has forgiven him... SO WHAT !?
Nobody is vilifying the other 10 million woman in America who've done the same thing. I mean seriously... what does the relationship between Hillary and Bill have to do with her ability to run the country ?...NOTHING ! It's a private matter, that has nothing to do with politics.

I really don't see how attacking Hillary for something like that is going to help Republicans win... If anything, I think most people would consider this inappropriate "dirty" politics and would be turned off by it.

The best "Hard" scientists to figure out this Global Warming stuff.
"Soft" Scientists to figure out the Middle East mess.
Domestic Academics to figure out how to rebuild out middle-class.
True Economists to fix out insane trade policies.

I think the biggest sin of the Bush admin. has been to get ideologues in the cabinet instead of the best-of-the-best.

It's really sad how librals are exploiting and manipulating confused Iraq war vets, in their attack on Pres bush and the war in Iraq. On one hand I think vets in groups like 'Vets aginst the war in Iraq' are cowards and traitors- on the other hand I think they are confused.....Even still- they are stabbing other American soldiers in the back. Is there a way these vets can be brought up on charges?
All Vets who are partriotic support Pres Bush and the war for freedom in Iraq.

Question #1

If the non custodial parent never paid child support, because the parent sign away his rights when the child was about 2 years of age, & the child is now 11, (8) years passed & a case was never opened, can the custodial parent (mom) file for child support??? She would have to give him his rights back first right???




Question #2

If the father is paying the mom child support for his child- the legal way, & mom goes to court & say she don't want anymore child support- she's not on assistance or anything, will the case stay open for the future in case if it doesn't go well with the parent (father), or you can't re-open it again once you close it?????

Thanks in advanced.
