While a part of the housing collapse was some people buying over their heads, a bigger part was people buying homes as investment properties and trying to flip them. They qualified to buy these houses even though they already had a primary home because of relaxed rules.

I'm keeping it in the context of the time. But while we're on the subject of the collapse, you can point some major fingers at Barney Frank.

EXACTLY! Hell, I'd settle for just 1 finger, the middle one.

In another thread, some DUmmie said that every time a Republican is president, they screw things up for 10 years. Tells you something about Democrats. Jimmy Carter screwed this country up something serious and it took Reagan 2 years to straighten things out.

"3. man u kicked her butt with knowledge I just know she looked at you as if you were crazy!"
Because you ARE crazy!

As for raising gas prices, I'd definitely blame Democrats for that more than Republicans, on account of their consistent efforts to block any and all domestic oil drilling.

I have a theory on these people who come up with these Bouncy Stories.

These people were the children who didnt develop social skills growing up so they were easy targets for bullies. They never confronted the kids who harrassed them but instead always made up things they would have done differently after the fact ( "I wish he would call me a loser again, cause I'll do a spinning heel kick to his face then punch him in the balls"). Basically a way to cope with the humiliation of being picked on. He or she makes up a fantasy senarios to help deal with the underlining issues of why he or she is being harrassed.

Most kids grow out of it, these people have not. They live their lives through fantasy senarios to help them feel beeter about their shitty lives. They make themselves the "heroes" because their entier lives have been miserable to deal with. It's an escape for them. And for a moment makes them "the popular kid" that use to pick on them.

You don't see how this post, outlying your "theory" is drenched with irony?
